Tourism and environment

With the development of tourism industry our cultural values and heritage msut be protected. Priority must be given to the protection of these sites of historical value than financial benefits.
The safeguard of the environment is an essential part of tourism development. Ecotourism is not significantly different from straight tourism unless it is carefully designed and managed.

In fact, isolated, wilderness ecotourism destinations are more helpless to negative impacts of tourism, as the natural environment and local communities tend to be relatively untouched with little experience of visitors.

Damage through disturbance from even the most environmentally friendly tourists can occur in addition to the impact that developing the necessary infrastructure inevitably has on visited communities.
