Hi all,
Could you correct any errors in this text? Thanks in advance

What are the principles of responsible tourism? In what ways are they not always respected?


The responsible tourism is a type of tourism that respect the local culture and the local community of a place and its environment.

It aims to help poor areas to develop in a sustainable way without damage the environment and without exploit or exclude the population that lives in that place, but including this population giving them the control of their territory and helping them in a definitive way which provides a reasonable standard quality of life and will provides it also for their sons.

Unfortunately this type of tourism wasn't bring forward in the last years and in some countries still isn't used.
Some countries in Africa, South America or Asia were exploited by companies without scruples.
Those companies have bought hotels, chain of shops (like fast-foods) that didn't respect the principles of responsible tourism. In fact those buildings don't provide local and traditional articles but cheaper and imported foods or souvenirs.

Is this an exercise from the same Cambridge book you mentioned in your other post? If so, please give us the title, edition and page number that this exercise is taken from.

No, it isn't. I found it in my ex high-school's book of English, and since it can be an argument of the BEC exam I decided to do it

Unfortunately, this type of tourism has not been adopted in recent years and, in some countries, it still has not caught on.

Responsible tourism is a concept similar to Sustainability and Environmental Friendliness.
