Writing Homework Help
University of Mary Washington International Ecotourism Society Ecotourism Paper
Here are the instructions that my professor shared: This individual assignment is for you to write your
own philosophy about ecotourism. First, start your
paper with a definition of ecotourism that makes
sense to you. You can create your own, use one of
the ones provided in class, or find one online that
you like. If you use anything other than your own
definition, make sure you cite it.
Then, create and explain your personal ecotourism
philosophy. Document what you personally will look
for when you travel. When possible, use the
terminology covered in class and in your readings,
but more importantly, express what things you will
look for (and do) on your travels and what you will
avoid.
Papers should concisely and clearly communicate
your thoughts (800 to 1600 words). If you have
trouble reaching the word limit, give examples of
things that are acceptable under your philosophy (for
example, petting a koala if the animals are well
cared for) and things that are not (for example,
hunting elephants).
The point of this assignment is for you to develop
your own principals of what you believe is right for
you to do while traveling and what you should avoid.
This is an opinion piece for your own benefit.
