ECOTOURISM

Ecotourism essentially means ecological tourism, where ecological has both environmental and social connotations. It is defined both as a concept / tourism movement and as a tourism sector. Born in its current form in the late 1980s, ecotourism came of age in 2002, when the Unit­ed Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". The In­ternational Ecotourism Society (IES) defines ecotourism as "responsi­ble travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people". However, this is a vibrant, new move­ment and there are various definitions.

Many global environmental organizations and aid agencies favor ec­otourism as a vehicle to sustainable development.

Ideally, true ecotourism should satisfy several criteria, such as:

• conservation (and justification for conservation) of biological di­versity and cultural diversity, through ecosystems protection;

• promotion of sustainable use of biodiversity, by providing jobs to local populations;

• sharing of socio-economic benefits with local communities and indigenous people by having their informed consent and partici­pation in the management of ecotourism enterprises;

• increase of environmental & cultural knowledge;

• minimisation of tourism's own environmental impact;

• affordability and lack of waste in the form of luxury.

For many countries, ecotourism is not so much seen as a marginal activity intended to finance protection of the environment than as a ma­jor sector of national economy and as a means of getting currencies. For example, in countries such as Kenya, Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Madagascar, ecotourism represents a significant chunk of foreign revenue.

The concept of ecotourism is widely misunderstood and, in practice, is often simply used as a marketing tool to promote tourism that is relat­ed to nature. Critics claim that ecotourism as practiced and abused of-


ten consists in placing a hotel in a splendid landscape, to the detriment of the ecosystem. According to them, ecotourism must above all sensi­tize people with the beauty and the fragility of nature. They condemn some operators as "green-washing" their operations—that is, using the label of "ecotourism" and "green-friendly", while behaving in environ­mentally irresponsible ways.

Although academics argue about who can be classified as an eco- tourist, and there is precious little statistical data, some estimate that more than five million ecotourists — the majority of the worldwide popula­tion — come from the United States, with other ecotourists coming from Europe, Canada and Australia.

Currently there are various moves to create national and international ecotourism certification programs, although the process is causing con­troversy.

IN THE LAND OF THE SURFING HIPPOS

Last September the Gabonese government announced the creation of 13 national parks, covering 11 percent of the country. A major force behind this decision was J. Michael Fay, a driven (some would say ob­sessed) biologist with the New York based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), who had walked some 2,000 miles across central Africa to doc­ument its flora and fauna. In Loango National Park, a model for the other parks, Fay made his efforts to instill solid management and inspire pri­vate investment, keeping a daily journal of his experiences. In his entries he celebrates the Loango's coast, speaks his mind about conservation, and describes some of the work that's making the world's newest park system a success.

The Heron

The mangroves here are big trees, their stilt roots forming an impen­etrable tangle like some kind of jungle gym.

I thought about the village. The people of Loango came to the bank of Congo River for padauk wood (prized for its hardness and bright red color), for elephant ivory, and to acquire slaves from the neighboring tribes. It's clear that oysters supplied the villagers with a steady source of food over many generations.

Paddling conditions were perfect — slight breeze coming off the ocean, cumulus clouds shading the sun (no more than 80°F), and not a tsetse fly to be seen. As we rounded the sharp bend leading us inland, the kayak leaving a silvery wake on the dark surface, some fruit bats scared up a big bird.

We got into position for a look, and my eyes met with what looked like an overdressed clown with a sharp beak. Its breast was a rich rusty brown, the throat a bright white, the back and wings a crisp blackish brown. But the eyes: Wow, what eyes! In a bird the size of a raven they were about as big as a human's and lined with a thick white ring. This thing was the most wonderful avian delight I'd ever seen. A look in A Guide to the Birds of Western Africa revealed the bird to be the white- backed night heron. "Largely nocturnal; secretive and very shy by day," the book said. Hardly an adequate description of what we saw. The au­thors might have added: "Yet another little known and unbelievably beau­tiful product of nature that can be seen on any day in Loango National Park."

The Hippo

As we advanced upstream, the river narrowed, and snags began to block our progress. My eyes scanned the muddy bank, which suddenly began to surge. So did my heart, as the form of a massive hippo materi­alized no more than 25 feet in front of the boat. Face-on to us, he plunged into the water like a battleship released from dry dock full-speed ahead. He'd been sleeping under a tree, and we had scared him in what he may have judged a surprise attack. We paddled frantically for the mangroves on the opposite bank, which seemed a mile away.

"Go, go, go," shouted Jane, "he's coming. He's right behind the boat." The theme music of "Jaws" popped into my head, along with vi­sions of this behemoth chomping our plastic kayak right in half.

When we reached a tangle of mangrove roots — slippery like spaghetti and virtually ungrippable (ungraspable) — 1 tossed the paddle aside and catapulted Malia up into the tree. Jane and I followed, clambering and slithering over the spaghetti branches until we had about ten feet of jun­gle between us and the water's edge. We looked back only to see a boil of


water erupting just behind the empty kayak. The hippo had plunged into the black depths.

We sat motionless for the better part of an hour, eyes fixed on the water like spooked prey. Because passage on foot through the mangrove maze wasn't an option, we'd have to hop back in that boat and get our­selves downstream without stirring the now invisible beast. All was qui­et. Would it stay that way?

Jane and Malia struggled through the mangrove roots until they were about a hundred feet downstream. I jumped in the kayak, tipping it hard from side to side to call the hippo's bluff. The water stayed calm. No bubbles, no movement. That was good. 1 recovered the paddle and lost no time in zipping downstream to fetch the ladies, slipping as quietly as possible past every swirl and bubble.

CONSERVATION TIPS

• Many wild animals are now threatened or endangered because of international trade. Stop by the Customs House and see confis­cated items illegally, made from our wondrous wildlife.

• Don't buy ivory. Plastics, resins, and even a very hard white nut can be fashioned into jewelry and other items once made from ivory.

• Primates do not make good pets and are illegal in many areas. Ecotourism helps bring hard currency to developing countries.

• Ecotourists like you who choose their destinations for their nat­ural beauty, have a large impact on countries with large wildlife population.

• Ecotourism makes certain species more valuable alive than dead.

• The way you live at home does influence the world. Support and participate in non-consumptive uses of wildlife such as bird watching, nature photography and scuba diving.

• Create conditions in your yard that will benefit birds, insects and plants. Reduce or eliminate your use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

• Plant trees and bushes.

МОСКОВСКИЙ ЗООПАРК

Московский зоопарк, расположенный в самом центре города, старейший и крупнейший зоопарк нашей страны. Он был основан в 1864 году. Сейчас коллекция зоопарка насчитывает 6094 экземп­ляра 1001 вида животных.

За свою почти полуторавековую историю зоопарк очень силь­но изменился, особенно в последние годы, когда стала осуществ­ляться его генеральная реконструкция. Появились новые помеще­ния для животных, например, создан уникальный «Экзотариум» — павильон с морскими аквариумами. Открыты новые павильоны: «Дом птиц», «Ночной мир», «Теплолюбивые копытные», «Тепло­любивые кошки», «Ластоногие», «Приматы», «Фауна Индонезии». Для самых маленьких посетителей открыт специальный «Детский зоопарк».

Новый слоновник был построен в рекордно короткие сроки, в течение одного года, и был открыт для посетителей в сентябре 2003 года. Он получился просторным: отапливаемые зимние вольеры площадью 650 кв. метров, летние вольеры для прогулок площадью 1475 кв. метров. В нем многое предусмотрено для комфортного содержания животных: бассейны, много песка, стволы деревьев, крупные валуны. Новоселам, самцу и двум самкам азиатских сло­нов, очень понравился их новый дом. Павильон удобен и посети­телям — во внутреннем помещении им предоставлен двухуровне­вый смотровой зал.

BUSINESS TRAVEL

(Part I)

Business travel is one of the most stable working and highly profit­able part of world tourism, and one of the youngest, too. Business travel or MICE (abbreviation from Meetings / Incentive / Conferences / Ex­hibitions) became a separate branch of tourism business in 1970s. First, business travel was considered by businessmen only as opportunities to have a good rest at the expense of the government or the company you work for. The situation changed greatly after 1998 when the number of entertaining trips has lowered and at the same time the number of cor­porate events has grown. MICE development in Russia is highly dynamic as well as in the rest of the world, and according to the prospects the prof­itability of this branch of tourism will grow up to $2 billion a year by 2020.

The demand structure of MICE today is: 75 % is individual business travel, intensive trips, conferences and exhibitions are 10—13 % each. The figures are approximate, of course; exhibitions and conferences are usually combined together in one event, and intensive programs usually supplement other types of business travel.

Meetings

Most travel agencies offer businessmen going to a conference, exhi­bition or negotiations only standard package of visa support, air tickets,

accommodation and transfers. As a result those businessmen, who want their trips to be efficient, prefer dealing with specialized travel agencies working in the sphere of MICE tourism. Such travel agencies basically deal with corporate clients. Agencies can provide the corporate client with full package of business and travel services including dozens of meetings, visits to enterprises and professional exhibitions.

The biggest American travel agencies working in the sphere of MICE tourism are American Express Travel Services, Carlson Wagonlit Travel,

BTI.

The demand on business travel is growing rapiudly. Numerous work­shops, professional exhibitions, journals and websites devoted to MICE support this growth.

Incentive

Incentive tourism means travels financed by the company to give an incentive to employees as the appraisal of their work, to facilitate the teamwork and to stimulate work motivation. World annual turnover of incentive tourism exceeds $8 million, 80 % of which is spent on trans­port, accommodation and foods services, and only 15 % is spent on sight­seeing and entertainment programs. Throughout the world 70 % of all incentive tours are to Europe, 10 % are to the USA thought 60 % of all incentive tourists are Americans, and 15 % of the tours are to the South East Asia. The average duration of an incentive tour is from 3 to 7 days.

Incentive tours are becoming more diverse, both in the choice of the countries and in the tour programs. Some intensive tours are aimed at business activities or interests of the tourists, i.e. historical or wine tours; there are also separate "mass" tours for ordinary employees and VIP programs for senior management. The latter prefer adventure tourism or even extreme tourism such as auto rallies or balloon flying.

Recently senior management of many companies prefers investing money not into traditional entertainment incentive tours but in team- building tours. In this matter travel agencies work together with business consulting companies, professional psychologists, etc. The example can be so called "rope-courses". They last for 3—4 days and are comprised of different activities including sport, adventure and extreme. The em­phasis of the courses is placed not on sport abilities of the participants, but on effective teamwork, problem solution, leadership skills develop­ment and behaviour adjustment to different situations and sudden chang­es. Some travel agencies called incentive houses specialize at incentive tours only.
