Tourism Could Do More To Protect Marine And Coastal Environments

The article under discussion http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/154000320/4029963.html reveals a very important issue: protection of the marine and coastal environments. The author states that tourism industry should be more concerned about this topic and that the government, tourists, hotel associations, tour operators should work together to protect and conserve marine environment.

I do agree with the author because it is known that in some popular destinations, tha natural attractions of the area as well as the rivers, oceans have been polluted, damaged or destroyed due to overbuilding and irresponsible development. That's why awareness of a destination's environment, its people, and its economy opens up a whole new world of opportunities. Looking at a destination from the different angel allows you to experience new things, learn about the places and people you visit and helps sustain the earth's fragile environments, economies and disappearing cultures.
