The correct answer is letter A: Investigate the ecological impacts and gather evidence on which to base their decisions.

This is actually one of the most overlooked factors when people are developing programs for ecotourism purposes. People should always make sure that they make the least impact and change the geography of the environment where they want to build such things so that the organisms that live within the area are not totally affected by such decisions.
