Dear All,

Ecotourism is nothing new in Thailand. It has been popular among a small number of people who love nature. Worldwide concern for the environment has created a new demand for friendly eco tourism activities. However, the ecotourism boom can have both a positive and a negative impact on the environment. The positive side, more tourists than ever are interested in nature. They also want to learn more about ecology. All responsible adventure travel companies should offer teaching as a standard part of their ecotours. On the other hand, the increase in tourist numbers brings more damage and disruption to a habitat. For example, you were to take a longtail (noisy Thai motorboat) to watch monkeys feeding in the late afternoon, your particular adventure travel company might actually be scaring them off from their primary food spot. A Thailand tour by longtail is certainly not consistent with observing nature without interfering with it. There are only so many trees in fruit at one time. You wouldn't want to be responsible for making an animal go to bed without eating on your exotic Thailand tour... would you?
Thank you.

Ha ha exactly Thailand is a good place for eco-tourism and this topic can make people know more about this. You need to find lots of information of this to show that how our country is also compare between good thing and bad thing that happen.. Wish you have a good luck in this topic ja ..
ReplyDeleteGood points made, too many tourists to one area can have a damaging impact on the local way of life, on nature and be very harmful in terms of may new build purpose hotels which take away from the special character of such a place. However, tourism is a much needed resource, but a balance needs to be found. But how????
