Visitation to natural sites has increased in past decades and places such as the Great Barrier Reef, desert

and rainforests are major attractions in Australia. These places are also sensitive to damage by tourists,

and so “ecotourism” has developed as a means to control negative impacts. Examine the literature

about natural area tourism and ecotourism. You will need to define “ecotourism” and how it differs

from other types of tourism. Focus on the positive and negative impacts that ecotourism aims to

control. You may use examples from anywhere in the world.

Make sure to Put references at the end of every sentence. references should not be older than 2013.
