Tourism as a source of environmental degradation

The major consequences of Tourism are:
  • the change of land cover and land use,
  • the use of energy and its associated impacts,
  • the exchange of biota over geographical barriers and the extinction of wild species,
  • the exchange and dispersion of diseases,
  • a psychological consequence of travel, the changes in the perception and the understanding of the environment initiated by travel.

So as we have alternatives that are more ecological friendly, we should choose it instead of those other "types of tourism" that don't help us on the defense of our planet!

Act green, choose ecological tourism!
