旅游类型和其重要性 根据麦金托什等,旅游可分为图的现象和关系发生往来的游客,酒店服务提供者,业务的经销商,东道国政府,政府和当地社区的起源的过程中吸引和托管这些游客和其他游客。 根据页面、旅游消费活动是不断被旅游业开发和人企业,营销是用于开发新的概念,产品和服务和目的地。这反映在国际兴趣发展利基产品:假期天专注于特定的兴趣和活动。 墨菲认为,随着旅游业的发展在规模和范围,它变得明显,这个行业,和其他人一样,争夺有限的资源和资本,其非消耗属性并不一定避免腐蚀或修改景点。 According to The World Tourism Organization (WTO), Tourism is currently the largest industry in the world. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) is expected there is going to be 1.6 billion worldwide tourists by 2020, compared to 2002, there is only 715 million worldwide tourists in 2002. Therefore, a lot of countries, no matter under developed and developing, tourism main source of foreign currency earnings and creating job opportunities for people. According to McIntosh et al, tourism can be classified as the figure of the phenomena and relationships take place from the dealings of tourists, hospitality service provider, business dealer, the host governments, the origin of the governments and local communities in the process of attracting and hosting these tourists and other visitor. According to Page, tourism as a consumer activity is continuously being developed by the tourism industry and person businesses, as marketing is used to develop new concept, products and services and destinations. This reflected in the international interest in developing niche products: holiday days focused on specific interest and activities.
Murphy argue that, as the tourism grew in size and scope it become obvious that this industry, like others, vie for limited resources and capital, that its non-consumptive attributes did not necessarily avoid the corrosion or modification of attractions. According to Butler et al supported the term sustainability tourism development, involving tourism which is development and in such a way that area (community and environment), in such a scale, it will remain practical in an inaccurate term, not reduce or change the phenomena (human and physical), of which there is such a level, its success development and prohibited activities and processes as well as other benefits.
Clarke (1997) suggested that the development of the idea of sustainable tourism involve four approaches which are polar opposite, whereby sustainable tourism and mass tourism were seen as polar opposites; a range, whereby sustainable tourism and mass tourism were no longer seen as polar opposites, but rather it was acknowledge that there were different shades of sustainable and mass tourism, which would merge at the middle; movement, an approach which suggested that positive action could make mass tourism mare sustainable; convergence, is the idea that all types of tourism can strive to be sustainable. (J. Swarbrooke, 1999) Ceballos-Lascurain (1990) also argued, nature-oriented tourism means scientific, aesthetic and philosophical move toward to take a trip, even though ecological tourist is not a skilled scientist, artist or philosopher. The most important reason is that the individual who carry out ecotourism has the opportunity of getting closer with natural environment in a manner usually not existing in the city life that normally full of pressure. (Weaver, 2009) Based on Stanford Research Institute (1990), the ecotourism characterized as the fastest growing sector of the whole international tourism industry, it has increased rate of 30 per cent per year. Ecotourism observed the impacts, both positive and negative, of domestics and international tourism. Other than that, ecotourism is also a kind of tourism product that promotes protection and support sustainable development whilst having a minimum impact on the environment. Ecotourism also involves travelling to distant locations to learning the flora, fauna and wildlife animal in their native habitats. It also gives the chance to see how local people live and work. (Abraham, 2010)
According to Hundloe, to summarize, good understanding of services, cultural sensitivity and involvement with the local community are the three main issues which differentiate ecotourism from its cousins - green tourism and sustainable tourism. Ecotourism provide a prospect for long-term protection of the environment and its resources. The hot spot of biological diversity is mostly the least developing country which is the economy of the country is particularly in drive people to destroy the natural environment. Ecotourism also provide an opportunity to protect the environment and biological diversity that almost extinct. Whereby, this is also chance to generate more income to hold research efforts. An eco-tourist attractions, the program registration fee can be further directed to the scientific knowledge about the ecological environment; support captivity, rehabilitation or reforestation; or man-made impact monitoring, to ensure that does not reduce access resources.
According to Sierra et al (op cit), to further verify the growth of global tourism, the relationship sandwiched between tourism and the environment is requires being clearly management to reduce the harmful and capitalize on valuable impacts. The appearance of ecotourism gives emphasis to the need for future professionals to develop suitable skills in tourism and ecological management. According to Smith, In Malaysia, tourism sector is currently the second-largest industry after the manufacturing was the largest industry in Malaysia. The government organization responsible on promoting tourism industry in Malaysia is Tourism Malaysia or also name as Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board. Because of the geographical background, Malaysia is as miscellaneous as its culture. The country is separated into two parts, peninsula of Malaysia with eleven states and two states on the northern part of Borneo which is Sabah and Sarawak. The country is covers a total area of 329 758 km2 in South East Asia. The typical weather of the country is always warm and humid all through the year. Malaysia was listed as one of the most botanically diverse countries in the world. Malaysia is an amazing country with numerous abundance of biodiversity. The area of the country is granted with many natural destination and attraction such as flora, fauna and wildlife, beautiful coast, exotic marine aqua life, large rain forests and the biggest and oldest caves in the world. (Daud, 2010) A unique natural and cultural asset diversification is what Malaysia really had. Therefore, eco-tourism in Malaysia was very favorable, feasible, sustainable and long-lasting form of tourism. In the year of 2008, Malaysia has won The Best Ecotourism award by TravelWeekly (Asia) during the Industry Award 2008 which's held in Singapore. It is the second time that Malaysia was honored after 2007. It was an important accomplishment for Malaysia that proved itself for its natural environment as an attraction for tourism and unique geographical layout.#p#分页标题#e# Malaysia was grouped as one of the twelve mega-biologically diverse countries in the world. Around the whole Malaysia, there have a minimum of 15,000 species of flora, 286 species of mammals, 4,000 species of marine aqua life, 150,000 species of invertebrates in addition to the numerous micro-organisms. There is 75% of land area in Malaysia remains forested and 60% of the area is virgin rainforest. The virgin rainforest is the habitat or home for the diverse group of flora and fauna and other living organism. The ecology scientists believed there may still be a number of other floras and faunas that have not been discovered living beneath its canopy. There are beautiful oceans with several of marine aqua life that rely on the delicate balance of an unharmed environment surrounding Malaysia. From the other side of the world's sea turtles make nests on the coast of Malaysia pilgrimage thousands of miles. Likewise, the visitors from all corners of the world visit our shores every year just to witness the magical underwater world. The a variety of activities such as jungle trekking, caving, hiking, river cruising, rock climbing, diving water rafting and bird watching was offered to the tourists by Malaysia. The Malaysia government concerned about the natural and cultural assets therefore, they have organized and create the event to let people more aware of the importance of preservation-based ecotourism. The examples of event consist of the Tabin Wildlife Conservation Conquest which located in Sabah, Fraser's Hill International Bird Race in Pahang and Taman Negara Eco-Challenge competition in Pahang. Malaysia's been categorized as one of the top ecotourism destinations to visit in the world. The region is further growth by the enclosure of the Kinabalu Park in Sabah and Mulu National Park in Sarawak listed in UNESCO's World Heritage sites list. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) has also been recognized Langkawi Island or Pulau Lankawi which is situated in Kedah one of the northern states of the Peninsular Malaysia as a Geopark which mean a destination that contained outstanding geological landscapes in the world. Proudly, Langkawi Island is the one and only Geopark in the South East Asia and one of 50 among the whole world. In the meantime, there is two other destination which is Taman Negara National Park in Pahang, Batang Ai National Park in Sarawak and the Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary also been submitted by Malaysia Government as the nominations for UNESCO's World Heritage Sites for future consideration .
The Malaysia Government was promoting the ecotourism of their country to worldwide; meanwhile they also create awareness to minimize the impact on the importance of sustainable development tourism and of balancing maintenance and development. The Ministry of Tourism Malaysia wants to provide the policies and guidelines for the reliable development of ecotourism. Therefore, they have officially taken on the National Ecotourism Plan (NEP) to ensure the policies and strategy for the conscientious development of ecotourism in the country itself. Penang was one of the top holiday destinations in Malaysia. The state was combination of an island and a narrow piece of land. The area of the island is 285km2 and it is separated from Seberang Prai (formerly Province Wellesley) - a hinterland of 737km2 on the mainland. It is connected by The Penang Bridge, which is listed as one of the longest bridge in Asia with the length of 13.5 km. Ferry service also available to connect the island and the mainland. Georgetown is the capital of Penang. On July 2008, Georgetown was listed by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the World Heritage List. The achievement of Penang was based on the certain sections of Penang has a large amount of pre-war buildings among the South East Asia country which are still undamaged. As a result, Penang Island is currently known as Penang Heritage City. There are several of attractions around Penang, foods and shopping, from heritage to eco-tourism, and from beautiful beach to health tourism. In the year of 2009, Penang was ranked 22nd between the 44 top places to go of New York Times. Penang is one of the two destinations in Southeast Asia in this ranking.

Among the Peninsular Malaysia, Penang's National Park ranks second in size to Pahang National Park. As a city national park, Penang National Park has probability to be listed in the UNESCO world heritage listing. It is because there was numerous species of flowering plants and animals- together with rare and endangered ones - it just takes around 45 minutes starting from the city centre, Georgetown. Meticulous planning and infrastructure will strengthen the park's potential for ecotourism. Inside the park, there are only trails, footpaths, walkways and no roads. Penang National Park has created awareness for Penangites about the impacts of ecotourism and also the importance of sustainable development. Penang was also famous with the beautiful and adventures beaches around the island. Batu Ferringhi is famous and it is one that can visit. In Batu Ferringhi and also Teluk Bahang, every part of these area are surrounding by the beaches and now the beach is getting cleaner compared with last few years where most of the tourist complaint about the cleanliness at the beach area.

Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Hard Rock Penang, Park Royal Hotel and Holiday Inn are the international resorts that available along the coastline. Although there is quite a lot of ecotourism products in Penang but, the Chief Minister of Penang Lim Guan Eng has defended his suggestion to start a tiger park in Relau, This is because he wanted that the state to have a new ecotourism plan. The purpose of Penang Tiger Park is to become a new ecotourism product in Penang that can use to attract more international and domestic tourists to visit to Penang.
