Environmental Impacts of Tourism
Pollution
Air pollution and noise
Increased air emissions due to tourist transportation
Emissions from energy production and use
Global warming
Photochemical pollution
Acid rain
Noise pollution from airplanes, cars, buses and recreational vehicles (snowmobiles-jet skis)
Solid waste and littering
Improper waste disposal in areas with high concentrations of tourist activities
Waste (garbage, camping equipment etc) in mountain areas caused by trekking tourists
Sewage
Wastewater coming from hotels, recreation and other facilities pollutes seas and lakes near tourist attractions
The flora and fauna (eg. coral reefs) are damaged by sewage runoff
Changes in salinity and siltation can have wide-ranging impacts on coastal environments.
Aesthetic pollution
Hotels, resorts etc fail to integrate their structures with the natural features and indigenous architectural of the destination
Lack of land-use planning & building regulations results in sprawling developments along coastlines, valleys and scenic routes
