　　Eco-Resort Management Practices

 

　　A Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature-based tourism and has become an important alternative source of tourists. In addition to providing the traditional resort-leisure product, it has been argued that ecotourism resort management should have a particular focus on best-practice environmental management, an educational and interpretive component, and direct and indirect contributions to the conservation of the natural and cultural environment (Ayala, 1996).

 

　　B Couran Cove Island Resort is a large integrated ecotourism-based resort located south of Brisbane on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. As the world's population becomes increasingly urbanised, the demand for tourist attractions which are environmentally friendly, serene and offer amenities of a unique nature, has grown rapidly. Couran Cove Resort, which is one such tourist attractions, is located on South Stradbroke Island, occupying approximately 150 hectares of the island. South Stradbroke Island is separated from the mainland by the Broadwater, a stretch of sea 3 kilometers wide More than a century ago, there was only one Stradbroke Island, and there were at least four aboriginal tribes living and hunting on the island. Regrettably, most of the original island dwellers were eventually killed by diseases such as tuberculosis, smallpox and influenza by the end of the 19th century. The second ship wreak on the island in 1894, and the subsequent destruction of the ship (the Cambus Wallace) because it contained dynamite, caused a large crater in the sandhills on Stradbroke Island. Eventually, the ocean broke through the weakened land form and Stradbroke became two islands. Couran Cove Island Resort is built on one of the world's few naturally-occurring sand lands, which is home to a wide range of plant communities and one of the largest remaining remnants of the rare livistona rainforest left on the Gold Coast. Many mangrove and rainforest areas, and Malaleuca Wetlands on South Stradbroke Island (and in Queensland), have been cleared, drained or filled for residential, industrial, agricultural or urban development in the first half of the 20th century. Farmers and graziers finally abandoned South Stradbroke Island in 1939 because the vegetation and the soil conditions there were not suitable for agricultural activities.

 

　　SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES OF COURAN COVE RESORT

 

　　Being located on an offshore island, the resort is only accessible by means of water transportation. The resort provides hourly ferry service from the marina on the mainland to and from the island. Within the resort, transport modes include walking trails, bicycle tracks and the beach train. The reception area is the counter of the shop which has not changed in 8 years at least. The accommodation is an octagonal.These are large rooms that are clean but! The equipment is tired and in some cases just working. Our ceiling fan only worked on high speed for example. Beds are hard but clean, there is television, radio, an old air conditioner and a small fridge. These "Bures" are right on top of each other and night noises do carry so be careful what you say and do. The only thing is the mosquitoes but if you forget to bring mosquito repellant they sell some on the island.

 

　　As an ecotourism-based resort, most of the planning and development of the attraction has been concentrated on the need to co-exist with the fragile natural environment of South Stradbroke Island to achieve sustainable development.

 

　　WATER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

 

　　C South Stradbroke Island has groundwater at the centre of the island, which has a maximum height of 3 metres above sea level. The water supply is recharged by rainfall and is commonly known as an unconfined freshwater aquifer Couran Cove Island Resort obtains its water supply by tapping into this aquifer and extracting it via a bore system. Some of the problems which have threatened the island's freshwater supply include pollution, contamination and over-consumption. In order to minimise some of these problems, all laundry activities are carried out on the mainland. The resort considers washing machines as onerous to the island's freshwater supply, and that the detergents contain a high level of phosphates which are a major source of water pollution. The resort uses LPG-power generation rather than a diesel-powered plant for its energy supply, supplemented by wind turbine, which has reduced greenhouse emissions by 70% of diesel-equivalent generation methods. Excess heat recovered from the generator is used to heat the swimming pool. Hot water in the eco-cabins and for some of the resort's vehicles are solar-powered. Water efficient fittings are also installed in showers and toilets. However, not all the appliances used by the resort are energy efficient, such as refrigerators. Visitors who stay at the resort are encouraged to monitor their water and energy usage via the in-house television systems, and are rewarded with prizes (such as a free return trip to the resort) accordingly if their usage level is low.

 

　　CONCLUDING REMARKS

 

　　D We examined a case study of good management practice and a pro-active sustainable tourism stance of an eco-resort. In three years of operation, Couran Cove Island Resort has won 23 international and national awards, including the 2001 Australian Tourism Award in the 4-Star Accommodation category. The resort has embraced and has effectively implemented contemporary environmental management practices. It has been argued that the successful implementation of the principles of sustainability should promote long-term social, economic and environmental benefits, while ensuring and enhancing the prospects of continued viability for the tourism enterprise. Couran Cove Island Resort does not conform to the characteristics of the Resort Development Spectrum, as proposed by Prideaux (2000). According to Prideaux, the resort should be at least at Phase 3 of the model (the National tourism phase), which describes an integrated resort providing 3-4 star hotel-type accommodation. The primary tourist market in Phase 3 of the model consists mainly of interstate visitors. However, the number of interstate and international tourists visiting the resort is small, with the principal visitor markets comprising locals and residents from nearby towns and the Gold Coast region. The carrying capacity of Couran Cove does not seem to be of any concern to the Resort management. Given that it is a private commercial ecotourist enterprise, regulating the number of visitors to the resort to minimize damage done to the natural environment on South Stradbroke Island is not a binding constraint. However, the Resort7s growth will eventually be constrained by its carrying capacity, and quantity control should be incorporated in the management strategy of the resort.

　　技巧分析：本篇文章会占用考生较多时间，heading题和人名观点配对难度较大，考生应采取合适策略，即先细节后主旨，将段落大意配对留到最后，结合其他题型对文章的理解，有效提高正确率。

 

　　List of Headings的解题步骤：

 

　　1. 阅读题目要求，把例题所选小标题从小标题列表中划掉，把已选段落从文章中划掉，把不需要选的段落在文章中划掉。

 

　　2. 阅读所有小标题，划出关键词，预测段落信息。

 

　　3. 浏览段落，首二末。

 

　　4. 比较段落与小标题，可用排除法。

 

　　Passage 3：

 

　　题型：填空+判断+选择

 

　　文章大意：面对工程师与客户沟通的困难，对工程师进行培训，以保证工程师的设计理念能够被客户很好的接受;

 

　　技巧分析：本文依旧以全细节题形式出现，利用顺序原则及题型间关系快速定位，精读答案句，确定答案。本文出现的选词填空具有一定难度，其一是答案不会以原词形式体现，考到学生词汇基础是否扎实;其二最后一篇文章考生所剩时间不多，倾向于蒙题，故再次强调，选择做题顺序可以根据文章顺序，也可以根据题型判断，本次考试中，考生应着重解决P1和P2效率会更高，有舍才有得。

 

　　如考生时间不足，多选题可参考如下方法：

 

　　第一：尽量不要选择含有绝对语气的选项，比如有Only，always，must等。

 

　　第二：不要选跟文章主题主旨相违背的选项。

 

　　第三：不要选最开头和最后面的选项，一般情况下中间选项是出现答案的高频之处。

 

 

　　1. 2017年2月第三场考试，难度回归正常。三次考试中均有出现实验列举性文章，共同点都有出现Matching题，备考时可以多阅读实验型文章，尝试总结文章结构规律。三场考试共出现两次headings题，下次考试应该会以段落信息匹配替换，望下场考试考生注意;

 

　　2. 下场考试的话题可能有关生物类，历史类，传记类。

 

　　3. 重点浏览2010-13年机经。
