In recent years one the most successful industries have been the tourism, because of the

transport development, and nature tourism has been the most growing sector.

Tourists want to visit hidden and quiet natural areas, but local communities and indigenous
cultures not always are agreed with this, due to the visitors’ bad behavior. Consequently, more
and more visitors harm the environment. Moreover, there are many factors like climate,
political conditions, and changes in currency exchange… that can have negative effects in this
industry.

Ecotourism try to solve this problem through get tourists increase their respect for different
cultures, nature and local society. As a result holidaymakers will more appreciate these factors.

In order to provide ecotourism as a source of economic development, and to improve the level
of wealth in the region, some businesses have been implemented with the help of loans. For
instance in Kenya the Travel Foundation has educated villagers to become tour guides through
the incomes of the Maasai village, other example, in the Dominican Republic a woman has
begun to run a juice business thanks to a small loan

My opinion

I live in a country where tourism is one of the most important sectors of our economy,
because of the incomes and the places to work that it produces.

I live in Barcelona, one of the most touristic cities in the world. Tourism, on the one hand is
good, as it provides huge incomes, it creates many places to work, and job for small business
like taxis, restaurants, shops…. so it’s an important economic boost, on the other hand, it
can be bad for the city in the case we have rude tourists that don’t respect the rules and have
bad behavior, for instance young drunken tourists that walk on the street making loud noise
at midnight, or holidaymakers that have book an apartment and do have loud parties at any
time.

In the last decades tourism have increased a lot, perhaps too much in some places. For
instance, there are some seasons during the year where in some places or cities it’s
impossible to stay there, you can go crazy, like the beach, in summer. Tourism it means, more
air and water pollution, more noise, more waste of resources, more residues…. so I think our
authorities should control this increase as it could be dangerous for our environment

When I travel, I like to visit big cities because I like walking around the streets, visiting their
main monuments, eating in the typical restaurants…. I mean I like to know their lifestyle and
the customs of the locals, I think it’s a good way for understanding and respecting other
cultures.

Nevertheless, if I need a travel for resting and have some peaceful days, in this case I prefer
to go at a to remote area where there are is nobody, only for relaxing and seeing
breathtaking landscapes, and if it’s possible doing backpacking trips for seeing places where
you only can go them on foot. It’s a good way not only for enjoying the nature but also for
doing exercise, in order to relaxing. relax
