These are: she has extraordinarily supportive parents who accepted her dreams as real; her father was a freedom fighter in the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971, and she scaled the highest peak in the world as the first Bangladeshi girl in 2012.

3. Write a summary of the following text. 10

Ecotourism is broadly defined as low impact travel to endangered and often undisturbed locations. It is different from traditional tourism because it allows the traveller to become educated about the areas- both in terms of the physical landscape and cultural characteristics. It often provides funds for conservation and benefits the economic development of places that are often impoverished.

Principles of Ecotourism

Due to the growing popularity of environmentally-related and adventure travel, various types of trips are now being classified as ecotourism. Most of these are not truly ecotourism, however, because they do not emphasize conservation, education, low impact travel, and social and culturalparticipation in the locations being visited.

Therefore, to be considered ecotourism, a trip must meet the following principles set forth by the International Ecotourism Society (TIES: 2015):

• Minimize the impact of visiting the location (t.e. the use of roads)
• Build respect and awareness of the travelers for the environment and cultural practices
• Ensure that the tourism provides positive experiences for both the travelers and the hosts
• Provide direct financial aid for conservation
• Provide financial aid, empowerment and other benefits for local peoples
• Raise the travelers’ awareness of the host country’s political, environmental and social climate
