Chapter 5 : The Environmental Dimension(Part Two)
Introduction :The scope of the concept of the environment
2) The Natural Environment : "In the world, there are few "natural landscapes" remaining. The only sector that changes the landscape is tourism.
3) Wildlife
4) The Farmed Environment
5) The Built Environment
1) Natural resources :
Tourism makes use of a range of natural resources and is also the main tourism destination. The product of a destination could be natural resources.
Water ✅
Climate ✅
Air ✅
Man-made forests ✅
Fish farms ✅
Seas ✅
Beaches ✅
Caves ✅
Flora ✅
Birds ✅
Insects ✅
Dams and reservoirs ✅
Transport infrastructure ✅
Individual buildings and structure ✅
Natural Resources Development About the Growth of a New Coastal Resort Complex in the Arid Coastal Region.
Divert water from the local community to fill the swimming pools
Pollute the sea with sewage and fuel from the boats in marina 
Mean building construction, thereby eliminating the vegetation and affecting the wild life previously discovered on the site
Towards a more Sustainable Relationship between tourism and environment
The Dangers of Conservation ❌ : It is crucial to remember that a fairly modern development is conversation. Conservation has been most apparent in developing countries where the intensity of economic and social transformation has contributed to greater environmental changes.
The Natural Landscape Represent The Core of The Tourism Product in any areas
Natural forest such as Amazon rain forest 🖊
Regions attract tourist because of their rivers and lakes 🖊
Mountains which are perceived to be particularly beautiful such as Alps. 🖊
Some of Major Potential Impacts of Tourism on The Natural Environment
Pollution 
Erosion 
Visual impact
Water pollution from spillages of oil
Air pollution from vehicle emissions
Litter
Facilities
Damage of river banks
Damage to geological features\
If we want to grow, tourism and the environment are related and interdependent, we have to find ways to strengthen the relationship between the two and make it more sustainable.
4) Holistic Thinking
5) Encouraging Good Practice
3) Keeping a sense of proportion
6) Raising Awareness amongst Tourists and Industry
2) Paying a price that covers the environmental costs of tourism
7) Maintaining a Balance Between Conservation and Development
Major potential impacts of tourism on built environment
Urban from ✅
Restoration ✅
Infrastructure ✅
Overload of infrastructure (roads) 
Provision of new infrastructure
Change in character of built area through redevelopment
Changes to the urban fabric(street furniture) 
Reuse of disused buildings
Restoration of derelict building as second homes 
✏ We must make sure that our standard of involvement and commitment is equivalent with the risk associate in taking pricey steps to address a problem that is not quite serious. For example, tiny footpaths are not a big enough issue to merit widespread closure of footpaths.:. 
✏Some of the damage to the environment caused by tourism is not uncontrollable, although much of it is not expected. Better tourism sector and visitor understanding would help to reduce some of the tourism's negative environmental component.
✏ We need to understand the difference between the conservation of the environment as it could be the growth required for jobs and social media to be provided.
✏The fees charged by the tourist business to its holiday guests for the services they buy must be large enough to ensure that revenue is available to support the environmental costs of tourism. Otherwise, the visitors would have to be subsidized by the local residents or the effects on the environment would not be resolved.
A clear link between tourism and conservation
✏Many conservation projects are financed entirely or partially by tourism revenue for example, Tourism Malaysia markets their sustainable tourism aspects in SATTE 2017
✏ The awareness that the ecosystem is a major tourist attraction has created an economic opportunity for conservation.
✏The awareness that the ecosystem created by large-scale tourism has also stimulated conservation demands
Conservation entails threats that threaten the long-term sustainability of tourism and host communities
Can Cover a Diverse Range of Agriculture Systems including :
Area where Wildlife is Major Attraction for Tourist
Rare creatures such as giant turtles of the Galapagos Islands 
Tourism which is based on hunting wildlife including fishing trips 
Agriculture landscape ✅
Tourism can be Harmful to Wildlife through
Affecting feeding habits ⚠
Fires in woodlands ⚠
People picking rare plants ⚠
Nomadic communities of people engaged in livestock-raising 
Masaai people in Africa
Monocultural cash crops 
vines of the Herault area of France
Areas with timber farmed 
3 levels in the build environment
Individual buildings and structures
Small scale settlement such as villages 
Large scale settlements such as cities 
Several Dimensions to the Built Environment
Tourism infrastructure such as airports 🖊 
Individual buildings and structure particularly accommodation 🖊
Modern purpose built tourist resort like Protaras in Cyprus 🖊 
Constructed of recycled and locally sourced materials ♻ 
Designed to be energy-efficient ♻ 
Suitable scale for the site and local-ity ♻
✏A complex phenomena produced by the interrelation between the natural condition and flora and fauna is the environment. We need to understand and plan the ecosystem term effectively in handling the relationship between tourism and the environment effectively
1) Regulation of the negative impacts
✏Although regulation helps avoid negative results, we must realize that it can do can do little to stimulate the formation of positive results.
🚫The desire to participate in preserving all that is ancient. As we try to conserve everything, this may lead us to spread resources too loosely to be successful.
🚫The obsession with maintaining all old buildings suggests that there is a risk that new types of architecture will not be created or valued.
🚫Over time, perceptions switch so that the next generation will not understand the effects of today's efforts to protect the environment.
💥Conclusion : This chapter highlighted some key issues
Environmental has some inherent dangers ✅
Tourism can have both negative and positive impacts on the environment ✅
The environmental has five elements ✅
