"What should we do to make ecotourism sustainable and popular in your country?"
Anh chị giúp em với ạ, em cảm ơn nhiều. Đoạn văn khoảng 200 chữ thôi ạ ^^
There are alternatives we can opt for when we plan our trips that ease the burden on congested tourist destinations. Travel in the Off-Season
For example, we know that in summer, many cities are overburdened with guests, so why go at this time? Visit when the crowds have gone so you give the city a break. Stay Outside the City Centre
If you have no choice but to go in the summer, you don't have to stay in the city centre. Stay in a place close by and just visit the major attractions each day. In choosing not to stay in the already overburdened tourist areas, you lessen the pressure on the city. Research Eco-Friendly Services in the Area
Are the classically touristy areas really the best places to see? Are they popular only because the one-day tourist can see them easily, or are they really worthwhile places to visit? How can you support programs that will make life better not only for the top 1% but for the simple folks in the area? To find out, visit Sustainable Travel International, Stay Another Day or the many other websites dedicated to eco-friendly products and services in your target area. 2. Go Green at Your Hotel
The chance to go green starts with your hotel. If you are staying longer than a day or two, ask them not to change your sheets and towels every day. Similarly, turn off air conditioners, heaters, and other electronic gadgets when you go out. Better still, stay in hotels that have recycling programs in place and abide by their guidelines. 3. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
One key step in promoting sustainable tourism is reducing your carbon footprint. This is easy to do and will have a big impact. The EPA reported that aircraft accounted for a whopping 9% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. No wonder some airlines now offer the option for anyone booking a ticket to buy some credits to offset carbon footprints.
But there are plenty of green tips to offset your carbon footprint other than just buying credits. You can take direct flights, as having several layovers in your trip increases your carbon footprints. Sometimes, this can't be done, so you may have to consider other options, including buying organic, local products from grocery stores and farmer's markets. 4. Say NO to Illegal Trade
Buy from local businesses so you circulate money in the local economy and create jobs for local people. Patronize businesses that are not engaged in illegal trade, the exploitation of humans (especially children) and the looting of artifacts. For example, one of the illegal trades in Southeast Asia is rosewood. Coveted for luxury furniture, cars, pens, yachts, etc., loggers are ravaging Cambodia's forests for rosewood (which can fetch them upwards of $7,000–$15,000 per cubic meter).
5. Support Sustainable Options in Island Destinations
Coastal cities and islands often depend on tourist dollars, so more and more islands and coastal areas are being developed in many countries all over the world. In order to accommodate a new influx of tourists, these places are being built out with paved highways, lavish resorts, seaside villas, spas, helicopter landing pads and golf courses.
This dizzying pace is forcing local residents to relocate and driving them away from their livelihoods. Of course, these developments also create jobs; unfortunately, they are often filled by skilled recruits who are not from the islands. This social impact is accompanied by an environmental one. The coastal forests that often protect these islands from typhoons and soil erosion are ripped up to make way for development. So are the mangroves that are important to many islands' eco-systems. 6. Take Care of Heritage Places
Heritage sites you visit are likely visited by millions of other people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Take your litter with you and for heaven's sake, don't graffiti! Do you really need your name emblazoned on the walls or the caves or the sides of the mountain? Do you absolutely have to take that picture of yourself on top of a monument especially when the signs say "NO"?
7. Challenge Yourself to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Often, we go on cushy guided tours and retreat to our hotels for meals. Instead, you should:
walk around, even if only in the streets closest to your hotel.
eat in local restaurants.
talk to the locals, even if it's only with your taxi driver.
learn a few words in the local language and use it. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street vendors.
8. Support Community-Based Initiatives and Tourism
In between the world-famous Phuket and Krabi, Koh Yao Noi knew that tourists would not always stay in those developed places; soon enough, they would venture out to other lesser-known islands. Lo and behold, the tourists have come, and the island is ready.
Koh Yao Noi is home to around 5,000 Muslims—most of whom are fishermen and farmers—who want guests to their islands to dress properly, leave the corals and shells alone and not litter. The residents who first mobilized to stop poachers who were exploiting their marine resources eventually formed a club to manage the influx of tourist to their islands. They handle all aspects of tourism, from tours and sightseeing to homestays.
9. Respect the Practices of Local People
Be discreet when people are praying in churches, mosques or temples, and if you choose to visit any of these places, wear appropriate clothing. In many countries, they won't allow people in sleeveless tops and shorts to enter such sites. On top of abiding by the dress code, be sure to respect the silence and the restrictions placed on these sites. If you see a pile of shoes outside the entrance, take your own off too. Don't be a doofus . . . think!
10. Use Reusable Bags
This has to be the simplest way to promote sustainable tourism. When you do this, you discourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites and foul up water and waste systems. On my travels, I have used a tote bag to carry some cookies to give to beggars and kids, as I believe that giving them money will just encourage dependency. (If you really want to give, there are agencies you can donate to or where you can volunteer some of your time. This will surely be an experience, especially in the more disadvantaged countries).
