Problems with ecotourism
While ecotourism is often seen as the best way to reduce our negative (1) impact on the environment, it may also hurt local people and wildlife in certain cases. When tourists visit nature spots and interact with wild animals and nature, they may damage or destroy their natural (2) habitats. In addition, many remote areas require some traveling by car or by plane, which again consumes (3) energy and increases CO2, emissions in the air. Ecotourism may not benefit local (4) economy, because many local hotels may be owned by international companies and their (5) profits may not stay in the community. Besides, tourism may increase the cost of living in a certain area, making life more (6) expensive for local people.
