"I'm reasonably confident we're going to see an increasing climate degradation()that is going to influence various places in the world with increasing severity(),"said CFS Director Frank Shaw."Floods,storms,droughts,increasing and irregular temperatures will combine to bring about changes in destination choice for tourists." Florida's Everglades in the United States,Athens in Greece,Croatia's Dalmatian coastline, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in Italy as well as the Maldives are some of the other destinations at risk highlighted by the report. The study drew on evidence provided by scientists,governments,as well as tourism and environmental organisations from around the world. Tourism activity on the Great Barrier Reef,situated off Queensland state in Australia's northeast,injects an estimated $3.8 billion into the local economy each year "There is a conflict between environmental concerns and commercial interests,"added Shaw."For some countries tourism represents a significant part of their gross domestic product.But there is evidence that Australia and many other governments are considering what can be done to protect national assets." 1.The reasons why some World Heritage Sites could be taken off the tourist map include all of the following EXCEPT A.there are too many tourists visiting the sites 独家授权侵权必究· 享学科网书城 8画 品牌书店·知名教捕·正版资源 b.zxxk.com● 您身边的互联网+教辅专家 B.the governments are not considering the sites C.floods,storms and droughts frequently happen there D.there is often a sudden change in temperature there
