問題詳情

請依下文回答第 13 題至第 16 題Tourism has seriously damaged fragile ecosystems like the Alps—the winter skiing playground ofEurope—and the trekking areas of the Himalayas. Worldwide, it poses a serious threat to coastal habitats likedunes, mangrove forests, and coral reefs. It fuels a booming and usually illegal trade in the products ofthreatened wildlife, from tortoise-shells and corals to ivories. Its “consumers” inevitably bring their habitsand expectations with them—whether it is hot showers and flush toilets or well-watered greens for golfers. Inthe Himalayas, showers for trekkers often mean firewood, which means deforestation. In Hawaii andBarbados, it was found that each tourist used six and ten times as much water and electricity as a local. InGoa, villagers forced to walk to wells for their water had to watch helplessly as a pipeline to a new luxuryhotel was built through their land. Over the past decade, golf, because of its appetite for land, water, andherbicides, has emerged as one of the biggest culprits, so much so that “golf wars” have broken out in partsof Southeast Asia; campaigners in Japan, one of the chief exponents of golf tourism, have launched an annualWorld No Golf Day.
