English to Japanese: Pros and Cons of Ecotourism vs. Mass Tourism General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English We know why we tour as tourists. You know why you may choose some parts of the globe over others by reasons such as family, cheap prices and activities- but do you specifically know why we tour? Tourism varies a number of ways: time, number of tourists, and different reasons being just some. For example, you may spend 2 weeks in Borth which has thousands of tourists, or you may tour in the Amazon for a month where there are little tourists and for the purpose of ecotourism. Because of recent falls in the economy and general decrease of salary, many people are looking for cheaper places to tour. This means more money for the cheaper resorts, that tend to be Mass Tourism destinations and a big company. Tourism can have positive and negative effects: money, jobs and a good recognition are common positives that tourism brings. However, Global warming, pollution and destruction of habitat are all negatives people are concerned about. Solutions are being carried out to make tourism more eco-friendly. Eco-tourism helps local communities, wildlife and produces much less pollution than mass tourism. But are the general public willing to tour in eco-tourist destinations?
Translation - Japanese 旅人はなぜ旅をするのかわかっています。旅行する際に国々を比較してどういう理由でそこに行くか決めていると思います。例えば、家庭的、経済的、可能なアクティビティなどの要素です。 しかし、本当はどんな理由で旅行に行くのかわかりますか？色々な旅行のバリエーションがあります。滞在期間、何人で行くかなどです。例えば、数千の旅行者のいるBorthに2週間だけ行くか、エコツーリズムとしてほとんど人のいない地域のアマゾンに1か月に行くか、それぞれ旅行の種類が違います。経済の低迷、給料の低下の理由で、より安い旅行を求める人が多くいます。そうなることで、安いリゾート地に多くのお金が集まり、大企業がこの大観光地を経営する傾向にあります。旅行には長所、短所があります。金銭的、雇用面、そして知名度の高さが旅行のもたらす各地共通の長所です。しかし、地球温暖化、汚染、自然破壊などが短所として懸念されています。解決方法として、旅行産業に環境を意識させることを実施中です。エコツーリズムは現地の人々や環境に貢献し、マスツーリズムに比べるとほとんど環境汚染をしません。しかし、人々はエコツーリズムの目的で旅行に行くでしょうか？

I'm from the United States where I studied the fields of Linguistics and Anthropology as well as worked in a Speech Pathology office (in both an assistant therapist and insurance capacity). I currently live in Japan and have been here for five years. My husband and I own a restaurant that conducts all of it's business in Japanese. I hope to use translation to spread the joy of travel, cultural understanding, and culinary experiences all over the world.
