75.Zanzibar, an island archipelago in the Indian Ocean, has been facing both opportunities and
challenges in terms of sustainability. The island's economy heavily relies on tourism, which
contributes significantly to its GDP. However, there's a growing concern about the impact of tourism
on the environment and local communities. The delicate marine ecosystems, including vibrant coral
reefs and diverse marine life, are threatened by pollution from tourism activities, such as snorkeling,
diving, and boat tours. Additionally, there's a risk of cultural erosion as mass tourism can influence
local traditions and values. To address these issues, Zanzibar's government and local organizations
have been implementing various sustainability measures. They've introduced marine protected
areas to conserve coral reefs and marine life, enforced stricter regulations for tour operators to
minimize environmental impact, and promoted responsible tourism practices. Furthermore, efforts
are being made to engage local communities in tourism-related activities, ensuring they benefit
economically and culturally from the industry. Question: Considering the sustainability challenges
and measures in Zanzibar as described in the statement, which of the following statements is TRUE?
OPTIONS
Zanzibar's economy is not dependent on tourism.
Mass tourism has no influence on local traditions and values.
Marine protected areas aim to conserve marine life but not coral reefs.
Local communities in Zanzibar are actively involved in tourism and its benefits.(@)
