Question

As the wealth of economically advanced nations has increased, the phenomenon of ecotourism has emerged, where the beauty of unspoiled or particularly beautiful lands acquire a value because tourists will travel to them and pay large sums of money to appreciate them. All of the following statements about ecotourism are true, except:a. Ecotourism is a big and growing business. b. The definition of ecotourism is a little vague. c. Ecotourism needs careful management. d. Ecotourism implies that it is more lucrative for low-Income countries to cut down forests rather than preserve wildlife habitats.

Answer 1

Ecotourism is a big and growing business.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ecotourism is defined as a form of tourism where visits are made to natural environments without damaging or disturbing the habitat.

It focuses on preserving the environment, and is a low impact alternative to mass tourism. Visits are made to fragile and pristine locations that need proper care.

Because it is usually small scale ecotourism cannot be seen as a big and growing business. Emphasis is not on profit but environmental protection.
