A Way to Save a Paradise

      As a part of an ecotourism travel agency, I have arranged many trips to Lebanon for customers. Lebanon is a perfect destination because of its splendid cedar. Other than being the symbol of the Cedar revolution and being displayed on the flag of Lebanon, the cedar of Lebanon is a fragile environment that I believe tourists should be allowed to see.
      From my point of view, ecotourism is helping the Lebanon cedar in many ways. For instance, ecotourism provides financial support for two sides, the locals and the conservation of the cedar. Also, the environmental awareness of the tourists will increase when they see the unique beauty of the cedar and that will make them want to learn more about it and they might try to preserve it in their own way. Moreover, ecotourism discourages the construction of hotels which can be destructive to the cedar.
      The Lebanon cedar is one obvious example of the beauty of Lebanon and even though it is delicate, I think there are many ways to conserve it. One way to support the Lebanon cedar is to encourage the ecotourism in Lebanon because I believe that tourists are capable of preserving this paradise.
