Economía verde
Zhangjiajie es una gran zona montañosa de China, que figura en la lista de parques naturales Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Con puestos de venta en cada esquina, la vegetación ha sido pisada y el suelo compactado, llevando a una aceleración de la degradación medioambiental. Usado además por muchos vendedores para lavar los platos, los riachuelos se han contaminado.
Las autoridades están llevando a cabo una gran obra de limpieza, con la retirada de infraestructuras inapropiadas, hoteles, cafés y tiendas de dentro del parque, por lo que las perspectivas de la flora y la fauna locales –incluida la gente local- son considerablemente más favorables que unos años atrás.
Se estima que las actividades de turismo de montaña generan un beneficio de 70 a 90 mil millones de dólares al año, y supone entre un 15 y un 20 por ciento de la industria turística.
El turismo responsable depende en gran medida de nuestro comportamiento.
