Positive and negative effects of ecotourism

& lt The beneficial impact of tourism on the environment

1. Tourism has the most significant beneficial impact on the economic environment. Compared with other industries, tourism is an industry with less investment, quick results and no pollution. At the same time, tourism can also promote the development of other industries, which makes tourism of great significance to the national economic income of this region.

2. The development of tourism can also increase local employment opportunities, make more people have jobs, solve a major employment problem in society, and reduce the frequency of social security incidents. At the same time, the entry of tourists from all over the world has increased the contacts and exchanges between local residents and foreigners, promoted cultural exchanges between them, broadened their horizons and improved their cultural literacy.

3. Tourism also has obvious beneficial effects on the ecological environment. With the development of tourism, tourism resources are constantly being exploited, and many of them have some ecological problems. In the development of tourism resources, measures of tourism ecological construction and pollution control can be taken to make the developed tourism resources have higher quality than the original ecological environment, that is, tourism development beautifies the ecological environment. Tourism can also maintain the ecological environment. If tourism resources are developed and put into use, they can be managed scientifically.

< second > the adverse effects of tourism on the environment.

The negative impact of tourism on the environment is mainly manifested in: the impact on the atmosphere, the impact on the water environment, noise pollution, damage and interference to animals and plants, damage to the landscape environment and so on. A large number of facts show that tourism has become one of the environmental pollution sources, so it is necessary to summarize the main ways and particularities of tourism polluting the environment and the basic laws of tourism affecting the environment, so as to provide a basis for strengthening environmental protection from the perspective of tourism management.

The emergence and development of tourism culture can not be separated from the influence of the environment all the time, and tourism culture also affects the environment all the time. The negative effects and influences of the development of tourism culture on the environment are increasingly apparent, which has aroused people's general concern. In recent years, the negative impact of tourism cultural activities on the environment has attracted much attention, and many scholars at home and abroad have made relevant research on it. Here are eight negative impacts summarized by IUCN, as follows: (1) Impact on the surface and soil.

With the development of tourism activities in various natural areas, the development of tourism facilities is increasing day by day, and many complete ecological areas are gradually divided into islands, which makes the ecological environment face unprecedented artificial transformation, such as surface paving, vegetation renewal, introduction of exotic species and so on. Both land and water surface may be affected by tourism activities, and different surface coverings, such as rocky coasts, 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. Such as camping, picnicking and walking, will cause serious human disturbance to the soil. Once the soil is impacted, its physical structure, chemical composition and biological factors will change, which will eventually affect the species and growth of plants on the soil, and insects and animals will also migrate or decrease.
