题目内容
Has such a scene ever come to your mind? You’re sitting in the hot sunshine beside the swimming pool of your international hotel, drinking your expensive whisky. In front of you is the beach, only for hotel guests. Around the hotel are fancy international restaurants.
Is this your idea of paradise (天堂) or would you prefer something different?
Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will harm the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why ecotourism(生态旅游) is becoming more popular all over the world.
Everyone has a different idea about ecotourism, but most people agree that ecotourism must: protect the wildlife and culture of the area; do no harm to the nature; offer an experience that tourists want to pay for.
So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, tourists stay in local(当地的) houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. They travel on foot, by boat, or bicycle so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
This type of tourism can only involve(涉及)a small number of people, so it can be expensive. And if you want to have an “eco” holiday wherever you go, remember these basic rules:
• Be prepared. Learn about the place that you’re going to visit. Find out about its culture and history. Think of your holiday as a chance to learn something.
• Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not annoy people. Always ask permission before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.
• Don’t waste resources. If the area doesn’t have much water, don’t take two showers every day.
• Stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants.
But before you get too excited, think about how you are going to get to your dream “eco” paradise. Flying often causes air pollution. So don’t forget that you don’t have to fly to foreign places for your “eco” holiday. There are probably places of natural beauty in your own country that you’ve never visited.
