Why mass tourism is unsustainable

The reason why this tourism is unsustainable is that it is a consumption-oriented tourism method with the main purpose of meeting the needs of tourists.

1. The over-commercialization of mass tourism has led to the destruction of local culture and ecological environment: In order to cater to the needs of tourists, many tourist destinations have been over-developed, resulting in the destruction of local culture and ecological environment.

2. Overcrowding and over-development of mass tourism have also led to the depletion of tourism resources: many famous tourist attractions are overcrowded during holidays and peak tourist seasons, which affects tourists’ travel experience and accelerates overuse and damage to tourism resources.

3. The rapid development of mass tourism has led to the homogenization of tourism services: the services and products of many tourist destinations are similar and lack characteristics and innovation. This not only affects tourists' travel experience, but also hinders the long-term development of local tourism.
