Hello,
" ____ staying at hotels in Red River Village, tourists can help the villagers make money so that they can take care the river and the birds."

Should I use " by " or " through" to fill in the blank? And what's the difference between the two words?


Thank you.

By is correct
through could be correct but not used as commonly
