Improved road access into mountain valleys, the spread of lodges and teahouses, and global promotion through social media have led to a rapid increase in tourist numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Tourism has raised household incomes and created employment in guiding, portering, accommodation, and transport. However, the region is now facing environmental degradation, including trail erosion, deforestation for fuelwood, waste accumulation along trekking routes, and disturbance to alpine wildlife. At the same time, conflicts have emerged between local communities, trekking agencies, and conservation authorities over road construction, visitor limits, and land-use controls.<\/p>\n<p>A. Analysis (4 points)<br \/>\nUsing the Annapurna case, explain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two economic benefits tourism has brought to local communities, and<\/li>\n<li>Two environmental or social costs associated with the recent growth of tourism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>B. Evaluation (3 points)<br \/>\nEvaluate whether tourism development in the Annapurna Conservation Area can still be considered sustainable.<br \/>\nSupport your judgment using at least two sustainability criteria.<\/p>\n<p>C. Synthesis and decision-making (3 points)<br \/>\nPropose three specific tourism management measures suitable for the Annapurna region that could reduce negative impacts while maintaining local economic benefits.<br \/>\nFor each measure, briefly explain how it would address the identified problems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-1107
