Mr. Green: Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk
about the effects of ecotourism on
our environment. Anybody here
knows what ecotourism is?
(Male voice): Is it for tourists who want to go
hunting?

(Female voice): I don’t quite understand. Why
don’t they know they’re harming
wildlife?
Mr. Green: Let me give you an example. To
watch the whales or dolphins,
people travel in boats. The noise
from the engines of these boats
disturbs these animals, and they
may get stressed or eat less.
(Female voice): I see. But Mr. Green, when people
watch the birds, they don’t make
any noise at all!
Mr. Green: Right. But they take photographs
and the strong light from the
flashes frightens the birds.

and trees, Mr. Green?

ecotourism
Definitions
Defining "Ecotourism" has proven to be a difficult task given all the different
players attempting to define it. People tend to define things in terms that are
beneficial to themselves, hence the variety of definitions. There are, however,
several workable definitions currently in wide use.
The International Ecotourism Society defines Ecotourism as: "responsible
travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the
welfare of local people".
The Australian Commission on National Ecotourism Strategy calls it: "nature-
based tourism that involves education and interpretation of the natural
environment and is managed to be ecologically sustainable".
Features
1) Involves travel to natural destinations. These destinations are often
remote areas, whether inhabited or uninhabited, and are usually under
some kind of environmental protection at the national, international,
communal or private level.
2) Minimizes Impact. Tourism causes damage. Ecotourism strives to
minimize the adverse affects of hotels, trails, and other infrastructure by

health clinics, etc.) from the conservation area and it's tourist facilities.
Campsites, lodges, guide services, restaurants and other concessions
should be run by or in partnership with communities surrounding a park or
other tourist destination. More importantly, if Ecotourism is to be viewed
as a tool for rural development, it must also help shift economic and
political control to the local community, village, cooperative, or
entrepreneur. This is the most difficult and time-consuming principle in the
economic equation and the one that foreign operators and "partners" most
often let fall through the cracks or that they follow only partially or
formally.
20
6) Respects local culture: Ecotourism is not only "greener" but also less
culturally intrusive and exploitative than conventional tourism. Whereas
prostitution, black markets and drugs often are by-products of mass
tourism, ecotourism strives to be culturally respectful and have a minimal
effect on both the natural environment and the human population of a host
country. This is not easy, especially since ecotourism often involves travel
to remote areas where small and isolate communities have had little
experience interacting with foreigners. And like conventional tourism,
ecotourism involves an unequal relationship of power between the visitor
and the host and a commodification of the relationship through exchange
of money. Part of being a responsible ecotourist is learning beforehand
about the local customs, respecting dress codes and other social norms and
not intruding on the community unless either invited or as part of a well
organized tour.

the most significant temple in both Ha Noi and Viet Nam. It is representative of
Confucian ways of thought and behavior, and is a historical and cultural relic.
In Canh Tuat Year (1070), King Ly Thanh Tong erected several important
monuments, including the Temple of Literature. In 1076, Vietnam's first
university, Quoc Tu (National University), was established under the direction
of King Ly Nhan Tong near Van Mieu for the purpose of instructing the
children of Mandarins, the aristocrats, and the brightest commoners. During
its more than 700 years of instruction (1076-1779), Quoc Tu Giam educated
thousands of talented men for Vietnam.
After more than 900 years of existence, repairs and renovations, Quoc Tu
Giam is still an example of well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture.
Also preserved within these confines are valued relics representing the
Millenary civilization, such as stelae with inscriptions of the names of
distinguished scholars, the Well of Heavenly Clarity (Thien Quang Tinh), the
pavilion in dedication of the Constellation of Literature (Khue Van Cac), the
statue of Confucius, the Great House of Ceremonies, the ancient wall, kowtow
portico and the sanctuary, the stone dragons, and the ink stone stands.
Particularly impressive is the collection of 82 stone stelae which rest upon
large stone tortoises. They were created between 1484 and 1780 and are
engraved with the names, places of birth and achievements of the 1,306 doctor
laureates that received their degrees during this time span. These stelae were
erected to encourage learning and bestow honor on the talented men who
assisted the Kings in defending the country
