Eco-holiday: is there a future in Russia?

1.

Brainstorming Team1 to Team2 (students are supposed to write as many types of holidays as

possible for 1 minute: backpacking/ health/wellbeing/freebie/city and shopping/honeymoon and

Describing photos of different holidays: wellbeing/ adventure/ package /city and shopping

STUDENT’S WORKSHEET

Read the article and do the tasks below:

Imagine the scene. You're sitting in the hot sunshine beside the swimming pool of your international

luxury hotel, sipping fresh smoothie. In front of you is the beach, reserved for hotel guests, with motor boats

for hire. Behind you is an 18-hole golf course, which was cleared from the native forest and is kept green by

hundreds of water sprinklers. Around the hotel are familiar international restaurant chains and the same

shops that you have at home. You've seen some local people – some of them sell local handicrafts outside

the hotel. You bought a small wooden statue and after arguing for half an hour you only paid a quarter of

what the man was asking. Really cheap!

Is this your idea of heaven or would you prefer something different?

Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible. We

recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work, we try to buy locally produced

fruit and vegetables and we stopped using aerosol sprays years ago. And we want to take these attitudes on

holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming more popular all over the world.

But what is ecotourism?

There are lots of new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, alternative tourism, sustainable tourism,

nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more. Ecotourism probably involves a little of

all of them. Everyone has a different definition, but most people agree that ecotourism must:

1.

conserve the wildlife and culture of the area

2.

benefit the local people and involve the local community

3.

be sustainable, that is, make a profit without destroying natural resources

4.

provide an experience that tourists want to pay for.

So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, a nature reserve allows a small number of tourists to

visit its rare animals and uses the money that is generated to continue with important conservation work. The

local people have jobs in the nature reserve as guides and wardens, but also have a voice in how the project

develops. Tourists stay in local houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. This way they

experience the local culture and do not take precious energy and water away from the local population. They

travel on foot, by boat, bicycle or elephant so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience

that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

This type of tourism can only involve small numbers of people, so it can be expensive. But you can

apply the principles of ecotourism wherever you go for your holiday. Just remember these basic rules:



Be prepared. Learn about the place that you're going to visit. Find out about its culture and

history. Learn a little of the native language, at least basics like 'please', 'thank you', and 'Good morning'.

Think of your holiday as an opportunity to learn something.



Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not offend people. Always ask

permission before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.



Don't waste resources. If the area doesn't have much water, don't take two showers every day.



Remember the phrase 'Leave nothing behind except your footprints and take nothing away

except photographs.' Take as much care of the places that you visit as you take of your own home. Don't buy

souvenirs made from endangered animals or plants.



Walk or use other non-polluting forms of transport whenever you can.



Be flexible and keep a sense of humour when things go wrong.



Stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants.



Buy local products whenever possible and pay a fair price for what you buy.

Choose your holiday carefully. Don't be afraid to ask the holiday company about what they do that is

'eco'. Remember that 'eco' is very fashionable today and a lot of holidays that are advertised as ecotourism

are not much better than traditional tourism.

But before you get too enthusiastic, think about how you are going to get to your dream 'eco'

paradise. Flying is one of the biggest man-made sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Friends of the

Earth says that one return flight from London to Miami puts as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as

the average British car driver produces in a year. So don't forget that you don't have to fly to exotic locations

for your 'eco' holiday. There are probably places of natural beauty and interest in your own country that

you've never visited.
