Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Ecotourism is highly praised for its advantages but has its shortcomings too. Although this form of
tourism developed nearly 40 years ago, there’s still a controversy about its benefits and disadvantages.
The intention of this sustainable tourism is to raise environmental awareness among travelers and increase
the respect we all have to the planet.
There’s no doubt about the benefits of ecotourism. Ecotourism is good for business but also
offers the opportunity to people to learn more and view firsthand the world’s marvels. As ecotourism
evolves, people’s awareness about the preservation of the environment grows. Also, the local cultural
heritage is promoted, more people get involved, and authorities spend more money maintaining these
ecosystems. And these things are a good thing for both people’s education and the sake of the ecosystem.
On the other hand, there’s a fear that the ecosystem will degrade if it’s regularly disrupted by
tourists. And when profit is involved, there’s skepticism about the future of the ecosystem if the tourist
organizations focus on marketing strategies alone without respect to the actual environment. On top of
that, there’s a question about the wildlife getting distressed due to the human presence and whether or not
this will affect their reproduction.
The good news is that the pros outnumber the cons and the more people get educated and
environmentally conscious, the disadvantages decrease. It has to do with our integrity but things look
optimistic.
