ecotourism - Coggle Diagram

- - - - creates jobs locally and the need for young people to leave home to work in cities is reduced --> nearly everyone can participate in being a tour guide, selling/cooking food, providing accommodations, taking part in cultural performances, etc.
      - communities can consolidate their financial status due to entrance fees and program or accommodation costs
        earnings are also stabilized since they have a diversified economy
      - for the local community who own an area in a particular destination, they can receive a portion of the entrance fees. they can also receive income from being employed as part of that tourism destination staff
        
        eg. ecotourism to Waitomo Caves in New Zealand, where local Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) can benefit directly from tourism
      - those who can't get involved in ecotourism activities can also profit due to the shared income in the community
    - - new streets and schools can be built, as well as house centers, drinking water resources and electricity
    - - not exploited oro commercialized so that traditions and the region's heritage is preserved
      - locals can present teir cultural performances of customs
  - - - ecotourism includes visits to national parks, nature reserves and marine parks. for such activities, there are regulations that limit camping, walking, waste disposal and disturbance to vegetation and wildlife. by imposing these regulations, authorities aim to conserve natural environments for future generations
      - ecotourism attractions have managers closely monitoring conditions within the natural area to ensure minimal human impact on its internal environment. scientific advisory committees can also be hired to monitor the area and recommend best tourism practices. (eg. Waitomo Caves, New Zealand)
      - due to responsible tourists through the nature, ecotourism has low neg impacts on it
        
        common activities is tree-planting to grow rare trees in the projects' region to increase the population
      - surrounding nature is protected bc of the establishment of national or marine parks or wildlife sanctuaries
      - protected areas also allows biodiversity to be sheltered, and wild animals can remain in their natural habitat
      - when communities don't earn enough money, they resort to selling their resources like water, trees, minerals or wildlife, and forests are cut down to create farms, but ECOTOURISM is a sustainable alternative for these problems
        
        many ecotourism projects have renewable energy resources, water conservation schemes, recycled materials and a safe waste disposal is used
