Ecotourism has started growing in popularity as criticism has arisen over ordinary mass tourism. Mass tourists exploit tourist destinations in such a way that can cause environmental degradation. Ecotourism attempts to make tourism sustainable that is‚ it encourages preservation of environmental quality and of traditional cultures‚ it educates tourists and it enables the local people to participate in certain services offered to the eco-tourists. As ecotourism extends towards increasingly exotic

require careful planning and management are largely decided by the economic wealth of a countryside. LEDC countries have problems with rapid urbanisation into the cities. However‚ on the other hand the problems that MEDC countries face include; suburbanisation‚ counter urbanisation. Urbanisation is the process in which people move to the city and start to make a home there. This is mainly happening in LEDC countries due to the lack of work in the countryside. People flood to the cities to try and find

Globalisation has a positive impact over the world‚ whereas‚ others argue its negative impact. On the one hand‚ some people believe that globalisation is a good thing as it brings the world market together and creates chances for those in LEDCs. It also can help those in LEDCs to develop in economics by international trade. Despite this‚ Globalisation operates mostly in the interests of the richest countries‚ which continue to dominate world trade at the expense of developing countries. The role of

(40 marks) Volcanic and sesmin events and activities can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically develop countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been masses of examples of where volcanic and seismis event have had an impact on both MEDCs and LEDCs. Although prevention of either an earthqauke or volcanic eruption isnt possible‚ it is possible to manage them and reduce the overall impact. This

and that is whether you are in a MEDC or a LEDC. In a MEDC monitoring volcanic zones and potential hazards is an option many LEDC’s don’t have. In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geochemical monitoring programs currently run by INGV which focus on the analysis of temporal changes‚ chemical changes and seismic activity. This option open to the Italians is not an option for LEDC who don’t have the wealth or public education to set up these stations. An example of an LEDC with no planning and prevention plans

I am going to compare the physical and human flooding causes for an MEDC; the UK and an LEDC; Bangladesh. The Boscastle Floods‚ in Cornwall occurred on August 16th 2004. Between July and September of 1998‚ Bangladesh also incurred large amounts of flooding. There were a number of physical factors causing the Boscastle floods. The village suffered from heavy rainfall. Over 2 hours‚ 0.05mm of rainfall fell per minute. In total‚ over 3 million tonnes of water was added to the small drainage basin

As for their education system Spain is known as LOE meaning Ley Organcia De Educacion or fundamental law of education this is good for them and keeps their peoples standards highly well. Spain is a MEDC due to their seas of free trade and also tourists give them a better part of living and handling their surrounding well. Spain’s only problem would be their GDP because it has fallen and known to be as global recession this would only be there issue

“The extent to which tectonic processes represent hazards depends on when and where they are experienced. Discuss” Throughout this essay I will be discussing my view on the extent to which I think tectonic processes represent hazards depending on when and where they are experienced. My view is that the hazards caused by tectonic processes such as volcanoes and earthquakes are very much likely to have a bigger impact socially‚ environmentally and economically depending on where they had occurred

often think of LEDCs and MEDCs however it is true now more than ever that the boundaries between categories are blurred. There are the extreme opposites of LDCs and MDCs and then the vague limbo of NICs and RICs. To potentially confuse this further there are countries in a Venn diagram like structure of being in multiple categories like those in OPEC or the G8. However for the sake of comparing the developed and developing world it is more beneficial to consider countries as MEDCs i.e. developed
