IMPACT OF TOURISM: AMAZON
Brazil now actively promotes the Amazon to tourists to bring money and jobs to locals. But how will tourism affect this environmentally vito area? And what form will tourism take?
One option is "nature tourism". In the Amazon Ariau Towers, walkways give visitors a unique view of the rainforest and wildlife. But this is not necessarily ecotourism. Critics question the effects on the local economy and wildlife.
A more sensitive approach is taken at Mamiraua. Here a solar-powered floating lodge minimises visitor impact and trained local people work as guides.
