enjoyment. The World Tourism Organization defines it as the act of travelling andstaying in places by people for the sake ofleisure, business and other purposes. Thoughtourism has existed since the ancient days, nowadays it has become an extremely popular
and global activity. The year 2004 recorded over 763 million international tourist arrivals.

Ans. 2 Environmental impacts of tourism
While tourism provides considerable economic benefits for many countries, regions and
communities, its rapid expansion can also be responsible for adverse environmental (andsociocultural)
impacts. Natural resource depletion and environmental degradation associated withtourism activities are sometimes serious problems in tourism-rich regions. Themanagement of
natural resources to reverse this trend is thus one of the most difficult challenges for
governments atdifferent levels. The fact that most tourists chose to maintain their relatively high patterns
of
consumption (and waste generation) when they reach their destinations can be a
particularly seriousproblem for developing countries and regions without the appropriate means for
protecting their
natural resources and local ecosystems from the pressures of mass tourism.The main environmental impacts of tourism are (a) pressure on natural resources, (b)
pollution and waste generation and (c) damage to ecosystems. Furthermore, it is now
widelyrecognized that not only uncontrolled tourism expansion is likely to lead to
environmental
degradation, but also that environmental degradation, in turn, poses a serious threat to
tourism.

Countries and regions where the economy is driven by the tourism industry are
becoming increasingly concerned with the environmental, as well as the socio-cultural
problems associated with unsustainable tourism. As a result, there is now increasingagreement on the need to promote sustainable tourism development to minimize its
environmental impacts and to ensure more sustainable management of natural resources.
Theconcept of sustainable tourism, as developed in the United Nations sustainable
development
process, refers to tourist activities leading to management of all resources in such a waythat
economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity,
essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems.31
In other words, if carried out responsibly, ecotourism can be a valuable means forpromoting
the socio-economic development of host communities while generating resources for the
preservation of natural and cultural assets. In this way, ecologically fragile areas can be
protectedwith the financial returns of ecotourism activities made by both the public and private
sectors.
