 Ecotourism – is this the future?
What is ecotourism?
Ecotourism is about providing holidays to places which
are often endangered and isolated. The holidays are designed
to have a limited impact on the local environment and to
educate tourists about conservation.
Egypt is developing ecotourism to protect the
environments along the Red Sea coast. Tourists can stay in
hotels built of environmentally friendly natural materials. When
tourists go diving, they are taught how to avoid damaging the
fish and keeping the special coral reefs safe.
Madagascar is famous for its ecotourism and wants to
protect its ecosystem (the animals and plants in its
environment). 80% of the animals and 90% of the plants that
live there don’t exist anywhere else in the word. Lemurs, for
example, only live in Madagascar.
The Galapagos Islands in Ecuador are famous for the unique animals ،such
as the giant turtles which live there. Ecuador makes sure that tourism is
sustainable. Only a limited number of people can visit the islands each year, so
the animals and their environment are safe.
The Komodo National Park in Indonesia is a popular ecotourism destination.
Much of Indonesia’s endangered wildlife, including the Komodo dragon, can only
be found here. The National Park is also famous for its beach with pink sand.

 A popular problem!
Venice is famous for being a city with many canals,
colourful carnivals, amazing plazas and historic buildings.
However, the city is a victim of its own beauty. Venice has a
population of only 55,000 ،but the city is visited by twenty
million tourists every year. This tourism creates a lot of jobs
for the local population, but is also causes many problems.
Many of the 59,000 tourists a day enjoy riding on boats
along the canals, but the large cruise ships can damage the
historic buildings. The narrow streets can be very crowded
and it is difficult for local people to move around the city.
The local council are trying to find a solution which keeps both the tourists
and local residents happy. They are also trying to encourage tourists to visit other
beautiful sites around Venice.

 The blog of James
This is me on our hotel balcony in Sharm El-Sheikh. It’s
brilliant here and there are loads of things to do. I’m over the
moon visiting Egypt. The weather’s really hot so we spend most
of the time in the water. My sister and I are learning to dive with
some other teenagers at the resort. I love diving; it’s so relaxing
and you can see all these amazing fish in the sea. I want to get
an underwater camera so I can take photos of them.
Last week, we were in Luxor and visited the ancient temples there. I’m not
usually interested in history, but I actually found them fascinating and am really
glad we went there.
The blog of Katy
Day 10 of my summer holidays! I’m so bored – all my friends
are away or busy with their family and I’m stuck here at home.
The weather’s awful and there’s nothing to do.
Last week, I went to stay with my grandparents for a few
days, which was nice, but they live in a tiny village with no shops.
I was helping Granddad in his garden most of the time. He grows
all his own vegetables – he says it’s cheaper than buying them.
Maybe I’ll try and grow some lettuce in our garden when it stops raining. I
was watching a programme on TV this morning about gardening maybe I’ll have
a new hobby!

Adverts for four different holidays

A beach break
Do you want to relax in a quiet
and peaceful place? Escape from
noisy streets and leave your
busy city life behind. Visit this
amazing paradise. Enjoy the
sunshine on isolated beaches
and swim in clean, clear water.
Adventure time
Are you tired of the same old،
boring places? Are you looking
for an active holiday? Then this
is the holiday for you. Day one
starts with diving, then day
two takes you climbing in the
beautiful Alpine mountains.

Eco-trip A cruise to remember

Ecotourism is a new way
to travel for a new kind of
traveller. You can go trekking
through the Andes and explore
ancient Machu Picchu with a
local guide. You can enjoy peace
and quiet or you can meet
the local people, all without
damaging the environment.
Why not take a calm cruise
around the Caribbean? On board
our modern cruise ship, you
can enjoy great food and forget
your worries in our relaxing
restaurants. We stop at six
different islands where you can
visit the crowded markets and see
many unusual sights.

Ecotourism
Eco – Tourism refers to a form of tourism in which the main motivation of
the tourist is the observation and appreciation of the nature as well as tradition
and culture prevailing in a natural area. Eco – tourism has following benefits
such as economic development. Tourism is currently world’s largest industry
and fastest growing sector of economy. It is already the largest source of
foreign exchange in countries.
Ecotourism involves responsible traveling to fragile, pristine and mostly
protected areas. This takes place for different purposes, from educating the
traveler, fostering respect for different cultures to directly benefiting the
economic and political empowerment of local communities.
Ideally, ecotourism incorporates the following criteria; promote biological
and cultural diversity, touring unspoiled natural habitats, and the main
attractions being local culture, flora and fauna. In short, ecotourism operations
are defined by their commitment to the environment, education, nature and
culture. The main objectives of ecotourism are providing nature-based,
environmental education experiences for visitors and managing this in a
sustainable manner.

Jim Hawkins:
I’ll start by writing about the time when my father owned an
inn called the Admiral Benbow, manyyears ago. I remember
the day when a man walked into the inn. He was tall and
strong, with an oldblue coat and a scar on his face. He looked
around him.This is a nice, quiet place. I’ll stay here. Please,
take this up to my room,” he said, pointing to a largewooden
box.You can call me Captain. And this is for you,” he
continued, handing my father three or four goldcoins.
The Captain was usually a quiet man. He spent his days
walking on the beach or on the cliffs. Whenhe came back, he
always asked, “Did any sailors visit the inn today?” At first, we
thought he wantedto find some other sailors, but later we
realised that he didn’t want any sailors to find him.

31
In the evenings, the Captain sometimes told stories about his time at sea. My father
was worried thatnobody would want to visit the inn because they would be frightened
by the Captain’ stories, but Ithink people liked them.
The Captain stayed at the inn for months. He did not give us any more money for his
room and myfather did not dare to ask him for more.
One morning, the Captain went for a walk along the beach. I was helping my mother
to makebreakfast when another man walked into the inn. He was thin and pale, with
three fingers on his lefthand. He sat down and asked, “Is this table here for my friend
Bill?”
I told him that I did not know Bill and said that the table was for the Captain
Well, my friend Bill might say that he’s the Captain,” he said. “He has a scar on his
face and likes totell a story. Is that him? ”
”Yes,” I said. “He’s gone for a walk.”
”Which way did he walk?” he asked.
I pointed towards the beach. The man stood up and waited by the door for the
Captain to return.
When the Captain saw the man, he looked pale and ill.
“Black Dog!” the Captain said.
“That’s right,” he replied. “I’ve found my friend Bill! We’ve had a lot of adventures
since I lost these fingers!”
I left them to talk. Then suddenly there were loud shouts and both men stood up and
ran outside. The Captain had a sword and then I saw Black Dog running away with
blood on his arm. The man continued running until we could not see him.
The Captain walked back into the inn. He looked ill and suddenly he fell over. I
thought perhaps hewas hurt from the fight. At that moment, the doctor arrived to see
my father who was sick. Help us, Dr Livesy! The Captain is hurt!” said my mother.
The doctor looked at him and said, “He is not hurt, but he is very ill. Help me to take
him upstairs.We took the Captain up to his bedroom and the doctor gave him some
medicine. The Captain stayedin bed, but he was not quiet. He told me about his travels
at sea, and said that he had somethingwhich people wanted.
Black Dog is not as bad as some of the other men.” he said, “They all want to find me.
Tell me if yousee them!
That evening, my father died. I felt terrible and forgot all about the strange things that
the Captain toldme.
Then, a week later, I saw a blind man coming down the road towards the inn. He
stopped outside thedoor when he was near and asked, “Where am I? Will a kind
person help me?
“You are at the Admiral Benbow Inn in Black Hill Cove,” I told him.
At that moment, he grabbed my hand.
Take me to the Captain!” he said. “Take me to him now!
I walked with the blind man into the inn and took him to the Captain. The Captain
looked verysurprised to see him.
Now, Bill, stay where you are. I can hear you. Take this.” He then put something in
the Captain’shand, turned round and left.
The Captain looked at what the man gave him.
Ten o’clock!” he said. “I have time!

32
 Then the Captain suddenly fell to the floor. He was dead.
I found my mother and we talked about what we should do. We knew that the Captain
had a box in his room and it probably had money in it. The blind man and Black Dog
probably wanted this. I thought about taking the box to Dr Livesy, but I did not want to
leave my mother. We knew that we were in a danger. We decided to go to the nearest
village and ask our neighbours for help guarding the inn.
However, none of the people in the village wanted to help us. They did not come back
with us, butone man went to tell Livesy. Another man said that we could have his gun.
It was dark when we returned to the inn. We found the key to the box in the captain’s
jacket. I alsosaw the message that the blind man gave to the Captain. It said, “You
have until ten o’clock tonight.
We went upstairs and my mother soon opened the box
with the key. Inside, we found some clothes,some guns,
some papers and other things. We also found a bag with
some coins inside.
We only have time until ten o’clock,” I said. “Let’s leave before the blind man and
Black Dog return.
I’ll only take the money which the Captain owes us,” my mother said, opening the
bag.
We stood up to leave, and I decided to take the papers from the box, too. We walked
as quickly aswe could back towards the village, but as we walked, we heard the
sound of people in the roadbehind us.
Take the money and run,” said my mother. “I’m too weak to continue.
I did not want to leave her, so we stopped under a bridge, where we could hide in the dark.
