This project will address two issues, i.e., (1) conserving the environment and nature and (2) exploring solutions to the soil salinity problem in agriculture in the land and sea basins.
Conservation of the environment and nature will be done through ecotourism. It is responsible to stay in and travel to natural areas that conserve the environment and sustain the well-being of local people. Internationally, tourism is one of the single largest industries in the world. It accounts for more than 10% of total employment and 11% of global GDP, and in 2020, total tourist trips will be 1.6 billion (source: ecotourism/Wikipedia). Inappropriate tourism development and practice can degrade habitats and landscapes, deplete natural resources, and generate waste and pollution. On the other side, responsible tourism can help generate awareness of and support for conservation and local culture and create economic opportunities for countries and communities. One of the best alternatives to responsible tourism is community-based ecotourism (CBE).
