What would be the environmental impact of building a hotel resort in the rainforest?

Eco-tourism.What would be the environmental impact of building a hotel resort in the rainforest?
From lessons learned in Africa, Eco tourism has a positive impact on the rain forest, since most of the damage to rain forests comes from poaching and slash%26amp; burn agriculture, Eco tourism provides an economic encouragement to the local population to protect the forest and it's inhabitants, since this becomes their main source of income.


on the other hand, extrensive tourist activitiy tends to cause damage to the forest, and might change the behaviour of some animal species, that become accostomed to the presence of tourists, and might become a nuisance or danger to these tourists, causing the authorities to kill these animals.
Oooh I like homework questions - not
well the natural habitat of the rainforest might be destroyed and it might result in a imbalance in the food chain of animals living in the forest . but it can be good because the resort can promote environment projects easily
