Which Countries Lead In Whale Watching?
If you love whale watching then you will be happy to know the major players in whale watching industry. There are three nations on earth that are reputed with whale watching. The nations are Japan, Iceland and Norway. These countries are said to have fast growing whale watching industries. In the years between 1994 and 1998 to 2010, the nation of Norway had the biggest and fast growing whale watching industry. Japan and Iceland followed closely behind. These days however, we have seen a big number of illegal whale trade activities. For instance, many people secretly fish and trade whale meat. As a result, conservationists have raised a red flag. In their campaigns, the activists say that it is better to watch whale that is alive than a dead one. Whale meat and products are so expensive because of the scarcity of whales. The reason as to why people hunt for whales is because of the money they will get from the sales.
