2ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY
As a citizen of the modern era of science and technology, one thing that is getting
depleted from our minds is the rich bounteous nature. It seems that man is getting trapped
between the forces of mechanization. This is giving rise to a large number of tensions around us.
Being a tourism journalist, I took up the most current issue that I could see around myself. I saw
that there were people who have a strong affinity towards visiting the areas filled with the natural
elements in order to get a break from the heavy din and bustle of the cities and towns. I took up
the issue of ecotourism and interviewed some of the potential tourists who have a strong
inclination towards such places like eco-tourism, nature tours, and other such aspects. According
to my perception, ecotourism is one of the most sustainable and economic activity as it has
manifold advantages. It does not only help in giving refreshment to the tourists but also helps in
conserving the nature as well.

I always had a strong affinity towards traveling and I am also an animal lover. So, this
time, I undertook traveling to the land of penguins located in the lap of Australia. It is none other
than the Philip Island situated in Melbourne. The most attractive thing about this place is the
wide range of flora and fauna that it displays. It is a huge plethora of the abundant surprises of
nature. One of the very beautiful sites that one can see in this place is the large group of penguins
walking across the beautiful pristine beach (Discover Your Wild Side 2018).

This place is also having a very rich and cultural-historical background as well. It is
connected to the arrival of the aboriginals who came to this island for collecting the items of
their day to day consumption like the Wallabies, ochre, fish, shellfish and other such organisms.
Slowly the local residents of this island started taking the tourists as guides to have a look
towards the island and the rich flora and fauna of the island. So, it is understandable that right
from the past this tourism activity had a source of income for the local people of the island. This
was followed by establishing many nature parks, wildlife sanctuaries and rehabilitation of the
penguin as well
