Write your answers in thecorresponding numbered boxes.Eco-tourismIf you still believe the once-commonly held misconception that tourism is only an indulgence forthe wealthy, you are out of step with the times! The tourism market is accessible to, and indeed marketedtoward, many different sections of the community. Adventurers, fitness freaks, nature-lovers andbusiness people all contribute to rapidly expanding sector of the global economy.Section AThis billion-dollar industry, whilst affected slightly by the unforeseen events of 11 September2001, has experienced significant growth since the late 1980s. The subsequent economic benefits forgovernments are well-documented as tourism boosts foreign investment and foreign exchange. Large-scale resorts and civil infrastructure were often the only response to successful marketing and increasedtourist demand. It is not surprising then that the direct impact on the environment and regional orindigenous populations became contentious issue. Governments and big business became the target ofenvironmentalists and activists who argued that mass tourism was not (and is not) sustainable. As hordesof tourists descended on often overcrowded beaches and overused parklands, this became apparent. Eco-tourism was born.Section BThe broad concept of eco-tourism as nature-based, culturally sensitive form of tourism wastaken up enthusiastically because there appeared to be few losers. Governments were given convenientescape route as eco-tourism appeased the environmentalists and local communities, but still providedincome. Environmentalists saw eco-tourism as an alternative to mass tourism and its resource-exploitingways. Local communities envisaged receiving at least percentage of the tourist dollars, creating jobopportunities and giving them control over the impact on their own communities. It seemed that thebenefits of mass tourism were going to be expanded in the new world of eco-tourism to include cultural,social and environmental elements.Section CAs evidence of the benefits of eco-tourism unfolded, the practice has spread. So much so that theUnited Nations nominated 2002 as the International Year of Eco-tourism. Perhaps inevitably, themeaning of eco-tourism became less clear as it enveloped the globe. It could be argued that the form ofeco-tourism adopted in some cases was found wanting in certain aspects and the need for agreement on atighter definition resulted.7The eco-tourist is one who does not wish to contribute to the negative impact of large-scaletourism. He/she generally travels in small groups to low-key developments and attempts to “treadlightly” on the earth. These smaller-scale developments are environmentally responsible with view tosustainability in all of the resources used. Their landscaping often relies on the use of native flora andthey incorporate recycling methods and energy-efficient practices.Within the eco-tourist’s holiday experience will be an element of education about the localenvironment. The emphasis is on conservation and the part that humans play in keeping ecosystemsfunctioning. If the area is of cultural or social importance, this too is highlighted.The eco-tourist doesn’t condone the exploitation of the indigenous or local community. Far fromit, they insist that the host culture is acknowledged and respected. The repatriation of funds to externalsources is frowned upon. Wherever possible, the benefits of an eco-tourist’s holiday should be sharedwith the regional community-the hosts.Section DAll of these elements promote minimal impact on human resources as well as on physical,cultural and environmental ones. They support conservation through education and experience. Despitethe best of intentions, as popularity of eco-tourism spreads there is concern that the eco-tourist will havea more adverse effect on the environment. Critics argue that unethical tour operators wanting to take advantage of the trendy eco-tourismmarket print brochures that espouse the ethics of eco-tourism and show familiar emblems of green frogsand crocodiles to promote themselves but do little else. If such operators are not held accountable, theindustry will not survive. Open and honest eco-tourism marketing as well as world-recognisedaccreditation must be endorsed and implemented.The sheer volume of tourists wanting to visit unique, unspoiled environments is also cause forconcern. Evidence of the need to restrict the number of visitors to sensitive areas exists in many eco-tourist attractions already. Hikers and bush walkers in Mount Kenya National Park have caused damageby straying from set trails and leaving food scraps behind. The number of Orca whales visiting Canadahas declined in recent migratory seasons, as the restrictions placed on whale-watching boats andorganisers are thought to be inadequate.Section EEco-tourism does not guarantee sustainable tourism and it should not be viewed as completecure for the problems that have beset tourism. Until all stakeholders agree to definition of eco-tourism,insist that eco-tourism operators abide by strict code of ethics and carefully monitor the impact of eco-tourism (and all tourism), fragile ecosystems will continue to be besieged by tourists. There must be aneducational program to promote ecologically-sustainable tourism across the board, so that the underlyingprinciple in ALL forms of tourism is the management of resources.Eco-tourism can bring wealth to areas where there is nothing else but natural attractions. Thereasons for visiting the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador can only be explained by an interest in natureitself, the subsequent tourist dollars, if re-injected into the community, can mean the survival of suchhabitats. Licenses and entry fees to some sites have, in many cases, replaced government funding astheir source of income.Countries as diverse as Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Kenya are developing strategiesto identify and cope with the constraints that inevitably come with long-term vision of sustainabletourism. Eco-tourism has played an important role in developing an awareness for sustainable tourismpractices but governments, tourist agencies and operators must be willing to join forces with eco-touriststo ensure that natural attractions are protected from their own popularity.Questions 1-4: Choose the most suitable headings for Sections to E:Example Section IIIList of Headings Your answers:I Eco-tourism Explained 1.

For questions 7,choose from the people (A E). The people may be chosen more than once.Band feverWe asked five young pop stars, each from different band, what it's like to be in band.A Nat910. 11. 12. 13.I heard an advert on the radio for band audition. loved singing, but only really ever did it on thekaraoke. But went, and got in. People think it was easy for us but they don't realise that we didn't havea record deal for ages. We sang in all kinds of places to start with. Our producer always said he wantedeffort from band members rather than good looks or even talented singers and know now that was theright emphasis. He even sacked me twice for messing around. remember him shouting: 'I don't workwith people like that.' Thankfully, he listened when begged him to take me back and before long webecame famous. It doesn't matter what the newspapers say about your music that's just life. Whenyou're up there and you hear the fans scream when they recognise song that's the best feeling in theworld.B AlexI'd trained to be footballer, kicking ball from dawn to dusk, so missed watching all the musicprogrammes on TV. Then became model and one day record manager came to me and said: 'You'vegot great face, can you sing?' Singing seemed an odd thing to do, so said: 'Not at all.' Then did anaudition and suddenly was in band. At first, didn't know what had hit me because it all happened insuch rush. was going out spending fortune. My advice to bands would be: remember how the worldreally works, and never forget where you came from. You could easily end up back there.C MorganWhen was 15 was obsessed with forming band, but didn't tell my mates straightaway, because Ididn’t want them to tease me. plotted in my head, wrote songs and hassled John Matthews, managerwho had looked after some successful bands, just sending him tapes. He said was rubbish so manytimes, but as he'd taken the time to reply, stuck at it. One day sent him song called Heavy. He lovedit and it all went crazy from there. He got us reviewed in the magazine Smash Hits, then we got arecord deal, and we were on roadshows and TV, like some amazing, weird dream. What would say to anew band? Enjoy the days when you're starting out they're the best: coming up, getting known.D JulesSo much has changed since we started. We've got bodyguards now and whole team who travel with us.To outsiders, it's strange, but we depend on them and it's like gaining new family. Bands are differenttoday. Fans won't just accept singing groups who follow dance routines. They'll still argue over who'stheir favourite in the band, but they expect you to write your own songs and be original. That's good,because we're getting older as well, and getting into different stuff. love it when we write songsinfluenced by other groups, and our fans start to listen to their music as well. My advice to bands wouldbe to keep level headed, but think about how you can branch out it's not enough just to sing. Your fanswill grow with you, but you've got to move with them, too.E GuyWe didn't like being called boyband even when we started. When we had our first big hit, it was aword-of-mouth thing: it took its time climbing the charts. But once you're thought of in certain way -as bunch of boys singing love songs, wearing nice clothes then that's that. You've got to fight to bethought of differently. I'll be making music until I'm old and grey, partly because don't know what elseI'd do, partly because I've known what it's like to stand before huge audience and feel that incrediblerush. My advice to bands? Enjoy every moment.Which person says Your answers0. he/she realised it would be difficult to change the band's image? Example: 0. E1. it is important to develop in your role as member of band? 1.2. he/she initially had some concerns about discussing their ambition ofstarting band? 2.3. he/she nearly lost the opportunity to stay in the band? 3.10
