Issues for environmental sustainability of wildlife-watching tourism in
Thailand?
1. Vehicles used to view animals during wildlife-watching can damage animal's natural environment
2. Feeding animals during wild-life watching may cause animals to develop dependence towards humans to provide food
3. Getting close to animal's can frighten them and cause them to behave in unnatural ways
4. Getting close to animals increases chances that the animal may harm the tourist
Prospects for the future of wildlife-watching tourism in Thailand?
1. If wild-life watching is able to allow tourist to gain access to animals without altering the natural habitat or the animal's natural behavior, wild-life watching may be sustainable.
