Tourism has caused environment problem in many parts of the world. What sort of problems has been caused and what can be done about them.?
The tourism industry is one of the essential industries in many countries. People visit other countries to explore and experience the culture. To accommodate
such
tourists the host countries usually cut down trees to build resorts and hotels. This
is resulting in very serious ecological issues. This
essay will discuss the problems and possible solutions to them.
There are many problems because of this
. Tourists usually visit places like waterfalls and forests. Such
places are closely associated with nature and wildlife. For example
, in ,Canada Niagara falls are one of the most visited places. During the 19th ,century it is assumed that there were more than 3 million trees around the falls. But today there are only a million left. Around 2 million of them were cut down to build hotels and casinos to accommodate tourists. This
has caused serious biological issues.
There are a few possible solutions to address these issues. One of them is the displacement of trees instead
of cutting them down. Due to
the advancement of science and technology displacement of these is possible. For instance
, in ,India a very recent experiment has resulted in great results. Other than cutting down a lot of them, the government there has displaced them to another location. This
action has resulted in an increase in wildlife as well at the same has helped them to retain their forest cover.
To conclude
, it is very evident that tourism has indeed resulted in many ecological problems in many parts of the world. But the steps taken by the respective governments to address this
problem are not all adequate. There are more actions needed like spreading awareness in addition
to placing strict controls and regulationsSubmitted by ahmedcse14 on
