Description

"Negative Factors of Tourism and Sustainable Development" provides an in-depth analysis of the negative consequences of tourism and its effect on sustainable development. The book explores a range of issues, including environmental degradation (such as pollution and deforestation), resource depletion, and the social and cultural challenges faced by local communities due to the influx of tourists. It examines how uncontrolled tourism development leads to ecological imbalance and threatens biodiversity, as well as the exploitation of local cultures and economies. The book also critiques the often short-term focus of tourism policies, which prioritize economic growth at the expense of long-term environmental and social health. Offering solutions, the book advocates for sustainable tourism models, emphasizing eco-tourism, community-based tourism, and responsible travel practices that ensure positive outcomes for both tourists and host destinations. This work serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, tourism professionals, and environmentalists seeking to promote sustainable development in the tourism industry.

Abstract

"Negative Factors of Tourism and Sustainable Development" explores the adverse impacts of tourism on the environment, society, and local economies, and how these challenges hinder sustainable development. The book critically examines issues such as environmental degradation, overconsumption of resources, cultural erosion, and socio-economic inequality caused by unregulated tourism. It highlights the strains tourism places on ecosystems, leading to pollution, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity, while also addressing how mass tourism can contribute to the marginalization of indigenous communities and local traditions. The book discusses the conflict between economic benefits and environmental sustainability, offering a deep dive into the need for responsible tourism practices and policies that mitigate these negative effects. It emphasizes sustainable tourism as a means to balance growth with conservation, providing strategies and recommendations for promoting eco-friendly, culturally sensitive, and socially inclusive tourism practices.
