Ecotourism is the idea that people’s
vacations should cause as little damage to
the environment as possible.
Page 76
1. Possible answer: Natural Hawaii sounds more
like an ecotourism vacation because the
description mentions things like “minimize the
impact of all activities,” “environmentally friendly
lodge,” and “visit Hawaii without changing it.”
2. Possible answer: Active Hawaii sounds like it
might be more
expensive because the hotel is five-star and
modern. Also, the activities may be expensive as
they may require renting equipment such as
mountain bikes, diving gear, and a boat. Natural
Hawaii may be less expensive if the meals are
prepared with seasonal local ingredients, and an
environmentally-friendly lodge likely requires less
energy to run than a modern hotel.
