22. What are the issues? 1950s tourism began First cruise ship 1969
= 37,000

23. BUT these are EXPENSIVE holidays which some people cant afford.
Why do we need conservation and stewardship? How can tourism be sustainable: Eco Tourism
Conservation = planned and careful use of resources to maintain natural environment for future generations
Stewardship = personal responsibility for looking after the environment for future generations
Ecotourism = Living the way of life of the area, being environmentally friendly i.e., recycling and water conservation. Participating in activities that minimise impact on the environment. i.e bird watching, trekking. People eat local food, stay in lodges not hotel resorts and use local people for guides meaning impacts are small on the environment.
BUT these are EXPENSIVE holidays which some people cant afford.
