Passage 1

Ecotourism has been broadly defined as recreational travel that is focused on the natural environment and that seeks to minimize its impact on that environment.

However, there is little doubt that increasing numbers . of ecotourists also pose a threat to the quality and sustainability of natural ecosystems. Numerous accounts of tourists' "loving nature to death" have been reported, and concern is growing that ecotourism is becoming nothing more than a "green" label that dresses up exploitative and destructive human behavior. Despite widespread advocacy for education as a solution to minimizing ecotourists' impacts on the natural environment, few tests of the effectiveness of educational programs in controlling tourists' behavior have been conducted.

Passage 2

Although a substantial part of tourism is the "sun, surf, and sand" variety, the fastest-growing segment is ecotourism. There is, however, substantial concern about the potential negative impacts of ecotourism on the environment and about the necessity to plan and regulate ecotourism to prevent them. There clearly have been abuses and mismanaged activities. Better planning and regulation are essential. Yet ecotourism brings many people into environments in which they can learn about the locale and learn environmental principles that can heighten their awareness of and commitment to environmental protection in general. Increased emphasis on environmental learning as part of ecotourism could help prevent or reduce ecotourism's negative impacts.
