passage. Polar Tourism 1. Each year thousands of tourists visit the polar regions of the Artic and Antarctica These trips provide unique experiences for people to experience nature in remote areas. But the increasing number of people travelling to the ends of the Earth can have a negative effect on the fragile ecosystem 2. About 40,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year More than five million travel to the Artic and sub-Artic Transporting tourists to the regions increases ship and aircraft traffic and adds to the risk of pollution, oil spills, and other environmental damage 3. Because there are only a few places where people can see wildlife tourist traffic can become heavy in specific areas putting at risk Arctic vegetation. Recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and skiing can also upset animal habitats according to Jeff Lee, a spokesman for the United Nations Environment Program 4. However, others say that access to these very special parts of the world should not be restricted to only researchers and scientists "Those who travel to the Artic or Antarctica often become cheerleaders for supporting those places They speak with friends and family about important issues in those regions and also give money to conservation organizations said Jim Sano vice president for travel and conservation at World Wildlife Fund 5. Polar tourism also benefits the economy. Many Arctic residents rely on tourism as a source of income says Sano. "One in 11 jobs are related to travel and tourism he says. "This gives local communities an incentive to protect the area, because without the annual arrival of tourists, many families would have no income INO 2. The reading passage has five paragraphs.
