ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
1. Environmental awareness.2. Enhancements of local environment.3. Protection and conservation of wildlife.
![Page 11: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
1. Inappropriate development2. Loss of natural habitat and effects on wildlife3. Pollution4. Loss of spirit5. Overcrowding and traffic congestion6. Activities (affecting the natural environment)
![Page 12: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Inappropriate development
• Tourism development may be classed as inappropriate if it fails to be sensitive to the natural environment.
• Long-term planning in environment terms should be done.
• Costa del Sol – had undergone a powerful colonization of modern kind, it had robbed the shore of its natural features, displaced headlands and harbors with badly made structures.
• Resorts in Pattaya, Thailand – considered to be overdeveloped.
![Page 13: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Costa del Sol
![Page 14: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Environmental Awareness Raising”
• Tourism has the potential to increase
public appreciation of the environment and to
spread awareness of environmental problems
when it brings people into closer contact with
nature and the environment.
![Page 15: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Loss of natural habitat and effects on wildlife
• Development of facilities and subsequent tourist use may result in rapid or more gradual effects on habitats.
• Trampling causes disturbance to vegetation and soil.
• Not unlike the Galapagos Island, 600 miles of the coast of Ecuador.
![Page 16: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Wildlife can be disturbed. (cheetahs in Amboseli National Park, Kenya)
![Page 17: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• The Loggerhead Turtle in the Greek Island of Zakynthos has become endangered. The development threatens the turtles in six ways:
1. Loss of beach nesting areas.2. Nesting females and young turtles disoriented by
artificial illumination.3. Noise4. Traffic5. Pollution6. Activities in water

Water Pollution
• Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater.
![Page 21: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Air PollutionAir pollution is the
introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause
harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages
the natural environment, into the
atmosphere.
![Page 22: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Noise Pollution
Noise pollution (or environmental noise) is displeasing human-, animal- or machine-created sound that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life.
![Page 23: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Solid Waste
Solid Waste is also referred to as rubbish, trash, garbage, or junk depending upon the type of material and the regional terminology. In living organisms, waste relates to unwanted substances or toxins that are expelled from them. (Caribbean Area)
![Page 24: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Overcrowding and traffic congestion
• Happens when the volume of tourists exceeds the capacity of an environment.
• Overcrowding poses an increased risk of environmental damage through erosion and restricts visitor appreciation of the destination.
• Inappropriate parking • Congestion damages vegetation, causes erosion
and adds to localized pollution.
![Page 25: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Effects of activities• Skiing/alpine tourism
- mountain ecosystems are generally fragile but many are prone to intensive use.- many view skiing as a damaging activity because it requires associated development, such as lodges, resorts, roads and cause severe erosion and deforestation.
![Page 26: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Effects of activities
• Ecotourism- while the premise of ecotourism is to assist in conservation and well-being of local communities, it is often the case that ecotourism-based activities lead to deterioration in environmental quality.- proper planning and management is needed
![Page 27: Tourism impacts grade11](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5492ffd8b4795973798b45f5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tourism, Global Warming and
Climate Change
• By 2050, tourism is expected to see its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions rise from 3 to 7%.
• KYOTO Protocol, adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. (highlights the expected impacts of tourism in the environment)
• Very significant because climate and temperature are important determinants of destination selection.

In the houseUse of solar energy- Replacing
regular light bulbs for energy-saving bulbs.
