Ecotourism involves responsible travel to natural areas in a way that conserves the environment and improves livelihoods. It economically benefits local communities by providing direct financial benefits for conservation through park fees, tour companies, and donations. This helps fund environmental protection and research while empowering communities by involving them in running lodges, restaurants, and other tourism services. However, ecotourism can also negatively impact communities by causing conflicts over land and profits or degrading the environment and indigenous cultures if not managed properly. Overall, ecotourism is an important economic activity that promotes sustainable use of natural resources when done correctly.

The document discusses the potential for community-based eco-tourism to support wildlife conservation in Northeast India. It outlines the shortcomings of the current tourism model and describes how community-based eco-tourism could provide sustainable tourism with conservation and community benefits by focusing on lesser-known fauna and ensuring local ownership and management. Examples from Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Garo Hills, and Pakke Tiger Reserve demonstrate how community-based eco-tourism is already incentivizing conservation in the region.
Cost Effective Ways To Achieving Sustainable Tourism Best Practices
It is easy to assume that only high tech solutions can be applied to achieve sustainability. This may be the case for economies that have very high labour costs and relatively cheap access to technology. In economies where labour costs are low and imported technology is very expensive there are alternative solutions to achieve sustainability and to provide memorable tourism experiences. This presentation will draw on case studies from across the globe and relate the findings that are relevant to the ASEAN region.

Ecotourism
Ecotourism involves responsible travel to natural areas in a way that conserves the environment and benefits local communities. It aims to minimize impacts, build cultural awareness, provide positive experiences for visitors and hosts, and financially support conservation. Key principles include generating financial benefits locally, delivering interpretive experiences to raise environmental awareness, and recognizing indigenous rights. While ecotourism can support conservation and local development, some projects have negatively impacted communities through displacement, threats to culture, and environmental hazards like pollution if not properly managed.
Eco tourism
Ecotourism has grown rapidly but definitions vary widely. It aims to involve travel to natural areas in a sustainable way that benefits the environment and local communities. However, in practice ecotourism faces many criticisms. Large-scale operations can degrade the environment and exploit local people rather than helping them. There is a lack of regulation allowing "greenwashing" where unsustainable practices are misleadingly marketed. Negative impacts on communities include displacement, threats to culture, and environmental damage. Better standards and limits on commercialization are needed to ensure ecotourism truly achieves its goals.

Tourism an oppurtunity for community development
Tourism can benefit local communities in several ways if managed properly. Economically, tourism creates many direct and indirect jobs for local communities, increases income and revenue, and leads to infrastructure development. Socially, tourism improves quality of life for host communities through facilities, healthcare, and preserving cultural traditions. It also culturally benefits visitors by enhancing appreciation of other cultures. Environmentally, tourism contributes to conservation by directly funding protected areas and raising environmental awareness, as natural attractions must be preserved to keep the tourism industry viable. Overall, tourism can drive community development when revenues support local communities and priorities.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
