Dear sir,

It is my belief that tourism can be good for rainforests. Tourism can be used to benefit rainforest plants and animals. Recently our class was taking about tourism and how it affects our rainforests.

Personally I think that tourism that has been setup in the right way is good for rainforests.

That means there could be paths for people to follow and areas for people to stop with compostable type toilets. These could be huts where people have lunch and listen to talks which the cleaners keep clean. There could be tour guides, equipped with First Aid, to supervise the tourists on their walks to prevent them littering, stealing or causing damage. The rainforests have paths leading to the most interesting places possible; therefore people don’t destroy the forest by making their own way through it.

Tourists can be given a seedling, that gardeners have propagated, for planting on the edge of the rainforest at the end of their walk. They can be given the opportunity to make a gold coin donation. Even though the tourists don’t have any entry fees to pay, they pay by planting seedlings, which ends up spreading our rainforests. If the tourists litter they will have to plant an extra amount of seedling. Therefore, tourism can be good for rainforests because it can increase the size of them.

The tour guide teaches kids and adults how to respect and care for rainforests appropriately.

The tour guide also teaches people how to deal with dangerous animals so that if they come across one, they know what to do. Education is the key to saving our rainforests.

It is important that we protect our rainforests and tourism is one way we can do this.

Yours faithfully,

Josh Fogarty
