Tourism is without a doubt a clever and efficient way to generate jobs and bring people closer to nature, if practiced with an ecological mind.

Often, tourism is only about moving massive projects of large entertainment areas, which usually end up harming ecosystems and local populations, by degrading and elitizing jobs, as well as demanding high amounts of natural resources, such as outrageous quantities of water and electricity, to power unnecessarily luxurious places, at a high environmental cost.

Tourism massification is not good for nature, neither it is for the economically poor people who usually live by the exotic areas wealthy travelers want to explore.
Projects should take advantage of local resources and use them moderately since preserving is a synonym of longevity both for nature and entrepreneurship of this kind, in a way the building process and management encourages local employment as well.

They should also aim at being smaller and concentrated. Exclusivity will raise prices and demand higher pays from travelers, as well as help to minimize negative natural and social impacts.
Local citizens can make good profit from travelers as well, offering guiding and translating services, enriching the local economy.

If administration is geared towards concentration and exclusivity, possibilities of all kinds are stretched, and impacts will be minimized.

With the right minds in charge, tourism can mean much more than ecologic disasters, social and political misunderstandings between people from different cultures, in fact, it will bring people closer to nature and permit a rich and respectful cultural exchange.
