Building a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness （荒野） without damaging the environment might not be easy， but it is far from impossible. The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken， the task is possible.

Unlike many other hotel building plans， no trees were cut down and no land was wasted to build it. The Lodge does not have the same location but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May， till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must enter it by boat or seaplane. Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax （税） on the protection of the natural resources， but is given the chance to see whales and bears. And since these are the main attractions of the area and the Lodge， the management knows well that in order to stay in business they must make the area untouched.

In 2000， the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native people. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge knows that the native tribe （部落） is the owners of the land， so it pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people， who， in turn， teach the newcomers about the local culture.

The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental damage to win the approval （批准） of the local government where they set up their business. These companies pay more attention to environmental protection and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangered animals. Realizing how destructive tourism can be， they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism.
