Spicing up Zanzibar

Article Abstract:

Zanzibar aims to promote sustainable tourism as it emerges as a new mass tourist destination. Tourism-related projects made up half of the area's approved investments between 1987 and 1993, which include seven high-end hotels. It has identified 26 locales most suitable for development under its Tourism Zoning plan. Amid all these tourism development projects, Zanzibar is planning to develop ecotourism and environmental conservation. Its tourism policy requires that tourism development be tightly controlled and be beneficial to the local economy.

Japan's forest jewel

Article Abstract:

The tiny island of Yaku-shima off the southern tip of Japan is home to a temperate rain forest and will soon be declared an Unesco World Heritage Site. Yaku-shima is one of Japan's only wildernesses and conservationists worry that its new status will attract many more tourists with the accompanying environmental degradation. The island is important as an ancient religious site in Shintoism.
