Экотуризм

Am I an eco-friendly tourist? Form:Bolohova Polina 10a Teacher:Galina Zuykova

People now have many opportunities to visit different foreign countries and expand their understanding of the place they visit. The goal of ecotourism is to learn about local traditions and participate in activities that do not negatively affect nature or cause environmental problems.

Ecotourists are those who treat the Earth wisely and feel responsible for the flora, fauna and cultural characteristics of the places they visit.

Ecotourism teaches people how to behave respectfully towards local residents.

Ecotourism gives tourists a unique chance not only to learn new places, but also to acquire broad practical skills that can be useful in everyday life.

Ecotourism deeply values people's lives and gives them a glimpse into their own culture. It also teaches them to cope with various difficulties and become more and more adopted ecotourists, make new friends, have fun and travel.

If you want to be a more cultured person, ecotourism is the way to success.

What do I do to be an eco tourist? During the trip, I get to know the nature, culture, traditions and customs of the local people. At the same time, I have a minimal negative impact on the environment — nature should be protected.

When travelling, I not only admire the beauty of the world around me, but also learn a lot of new and interesting things about it.

Tips on how to be an eco-tourist

1. TAKE CARE OF YOUR GARBAGE Do you want to organize a picnic or climb the mountains? Think about where you will then put the accumulated garbage. It is not difficult to take a special bag for waste, leaving it in the nearest trash can.

2. CHOOSE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT WHEN PLANNING WHAT PLACES YOU WANT TO VISIT IN A NEW COUNTRY OR CITY, STUDY THE CULTURAL PROGRAM ALSO FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL POINT OF VIEW. THERE ARE MANY REVIEWS AND TIPS ON THIS TOPIC POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE IS NO NEED TO CREATE A STIR BY FUNDING THE EXTERMINATION OF SPECIES OR THE MISTREATMENT OF ANIMALS.

3. PREPARE BEFORE YOUR TRIP. FIND OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DESTINATION. FOLLOW THE NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE. HISTORY, CUSTOMS AND CULTURE ARE ALL IMPORTANT INFORMATION, AS WELL AS AN IDEA OF THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM. APPROACH YOUR JOURNEY AS AN OPPORTUNITY NOT JUST TO OBSERVE, BUT ALSO TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
