Assignment:

We've looked at the impacts of tourism on the environment and some of the things that are happening to reduce the impact. One of the ways is through Eco Tourism as a way of mitigating/lessening the environmental damage caused by tourism.

However, there are critics of Eco Tourism who argue that Eco Tourism is really 'Ego Tourism". Their view is that all tourism is potentially harmful to the environment, and that Eco Tourism is simply a smokescreen or a way whitewashing, so that tourism developers can continue to create new developerments and enaable them to be pushed through under the guise of "self righteous virtue" (Brian Wheeler). This is not a recent criticism and has been voiced sine the 1980's.

What do you think? Is there any truth to this in your view?

I'm interested in your POV but even better if you can support with a little bit of research.
