Source text - English We know why we tour as tourists.
You know why you may choose some parts of the globe over others by reasons such as family, cheap prices and activities- but do you specifically know why we tour?
Tourism varies a number of ways: time, number of tourists, and different reasons being just some.
For example, you may spend 2 weeks in Borth which has thousands of tourists, or you may tour in the Amazon for a month where there are little tourists and for the purpose of ecotourism.
Because of recent falls in the economy and general decrease of salary, many people are looking for cheaper places to tour.
This means more money for the cheaper resorts, that tend to be Mass Tourism destinations and a big company.
Tourism can have positive and negative effects: money, jobs and a good recognition are common positives that tourism brings.
However, Global warming, pollution and destruction of habitat are all negatives people are concerned about.
Solutions are being carried out to make tourism more eco-friendly.
Eco-tourism helps local communities, wildlife and produces much less pollution than mass tourism.
But are the general public willing to tour in eco-tourist destinations?
Translation - Tagalog Alam natin kung bakit tayo naglalakbay bilang mga turista.
Alam ninyo ang mga dahilan kung bakit mas gusto ninyo ang ilang lugar sa mundo kaysa sa iba tulad ng inyong pamilya, murang presyo, at ang mga pwede ninyong gawin - ngunit alam ba ninyo kung bakit tayo naglalakbay?
Ang turismo ay nangingiba sa iba't ibang dahilan: oras, bilang ng mga turista, at iilan pang ibang dahilan.
Halimbawa, maaari kayong magtagal nang dalawang linggo sa Borth kung saan may libo-libong mga turista, o maaari ninyong lakbayin nang isang buwan ang Amazon kung saan wala naman masyadong turista at ang inyong dahilan ay ang lakbayin ang kalikasan (ecotourism).
Dahil sa kamakailang pagbasak ng ekonomiya at ang kabuuang pagbaba ng sahod sa karamihan, maraming tao ay naghahanap na ngayon ng mas murang lugar para lakbayin.
Ang ibig sabihin nito ay dagdag na kita para sa mga mas murang resort na kadalasan ay nagiging pangmasang destinasyon ng turismo at malalaking kompanya.
Ang turismo ay maaaring makakamit ng positibo o negatibong epekto: ang pera, trabaho, at mabuting pagtanggap ay ilan sa mga karaniwang positibong epekto na naidudulot ng turismo.
Subalit, ang pag-iinit ng mundo, polusyon, at pagkasira ng kapaligiran ay ang lahat ng mga negatibong epekto na pinag-aalahan ng mga tao.
Ginagawan ng paraan ang turismo upang ang solusyon ay maging mas mabuti ito sa kalikasan.
Ang paglakbay sa kapaligiran (eco-tourism) ay nakakatulong sa lokal na komunidad, sa mga hayop at iba pang namumuhay sa kapiligiran at namumuo ito ng mas kaunting polusyon kaysa sa pangmasang turismo.
Ngunit, pumapayag ba ang madla na lumakbay sa mga destinasyon na may kaugnayan sa paglakbay sa kapaligiran?
