The negative impact of tourism on the environment;

1. Impact on the surface and soil: With the development of tourism activities in various natural areas, both the surface and the water surface may be affected by tourism activities, and different surface coverings, such as rocky shores, beaches, wetlands, swamps, natural caves and soil, may be affected by different types of tourism, especially the organic layer of soil on which surface plants depend.

2. Impact on plants: The impact of human tourism activities on surface vegetation and plants can be divided into two categories: direct impact and indirect impact. The direct effects include clearing, trampling, burning, collecting as campfire materials and harming aquatic plants. Indirect effects include the introduction of exotic species, nutrient pollution, automobile exhaust, soil erosion and other issues, which will indirectly affect the growth and health of plants.

3. Impact on animals: The development of tourist areas may destroy the habitats or shelters of wild animals. Tourists always like to "eat and take away", love to eat all kinds of delicacies, and prefer to collect all kinds of wild animal products to show their domineering, so the lives of wild animals are threatened.

Extended data:

In order to realize the sustainable development of eco-tourism, we should improve the system and mechanism;

1. Relevant departments should strengthen macro-management of ecotourism, improve relevant laws, regulations, standards and norms, and formulate ecotourism development strategies for national nature reserves.

2, a correct understanding of eco-tourism, eco-tourism master plan and all kinds of local social and economic development planning and submitted for approval, so as to make it coordinated with the master plan of protected areas.

3. Formulate corresponding policies, separate the protection function from the management function of the reserve management organization, and establish a feedback mechanism of tourism income to ensure that part of tourism income can be effectively returned to the reserve for resource management and protection.

4. Strengthen monitoring, quantify the environmental impact brought by ecotourism and the carrying capacity of ecotourism in nature reserves, and provide basis for ecotourism management in nature reserves. We should carry out special research on ecotourism in protected areas as soon as possible, sort out the overlap of ecotourism in different protected areas, and find out practical solutions.
