Carrying Capacity: Island Rainforest

Tourism is the world’s largest industry with nature-based ecotourism seeing rapid growth since its initial arrival in the 1980s. It is estimated by the World Tourism Organisation that nature tourism generates 7% of all international travel expenditure (Lindberg, 1997) and this figure will have increased rapidly over recent years. It’s increase in popularity is due to a number of factors; tourists becoming increasingly bored of the typical sun, sea and sand holiday’s, the increase in global awareness or environmental issues such as global

The author of the paper, Daly, while arguing against the maintaining of marine parks, brings forwards other people’s views as evidence to some very good points to support his position. Apparently, in Australia such Marine Parks are not easily accessible to a population which is largely city based, and consequently, equally inaccessible to the tourists, whom visit the country. Also the exorbitant fees may actually be out of the budgetary means of many tourists. It has been suggested that many tourists come to Australia, specifically to visit such marine parks. The country is an Island, surrounded by an ocean, an ocean full of marine life. Also a very healthy marine tours industry that

One of Udubia’s other main industries is its tourism. The industry is growing as new hotels and cruise ship companies popped up. The hotels require land which decreases an ecosystem size, and the tourists that come pollute the small ecosystems. An article written on dw.com about Easter Island, talks about the negative effects of tourism on the island. “With tourists drawn by the island's famous ancient statues churning out seven tonnes of waste a day, its residents are learning the hard way to recycle. Officials want them to stop throwing their trash indiscriminately into the garbage dump on an island of just 64 square miles” (D.W). The trash impacts the marine animals whose homes are polluted, and whose lives are endangered. “Environmentalists say fishing boats trawling for tuna and marlin in the area dump unwanted nets and plastic that end up on the island's beaches or in the stomachs of sea creatures” (D.W), which leads to the decrease in their populations. Something needs to be done about the land. In Thailand for example, the “government closed down Koh Khai Nok, Koh Khai Nui and Koh Khai Naiin- three popular islands in the coast of Phuket because of the negative impact of tourists in

My team has discovered a new population of sloths in the Amazon Rainforest. The team has a job of figuring out three things regarding these sloths. The team has to determine if the new population is evolving, how it is related to other sloth populations near it, and if it is a different species than the other sloth populations.

Tourism is a dominant industry that drives the economic growth of America’s economy. From the natural beauty and culture of Costal Southern New England’s beaches and towns it has made this a popular place of travel filled with rich history that defines this region. As tourism congregated into a large activity that occurs today, over time, it has created environmental, social, and economic impacts. These types of impacts occur when tourists’ level of usage of local resources is greater than the environments ability to cope with this use within the acceptable limits of alteration. As a result of this, the environmental issues that have surfaced are affecting Costal Southern New England’s legacy.

No humans live permanently on the island but there are scientists that live and work there. As the island needs to be protected, the number of humans allowed to visit is restricted and requires special permission to be able to visit. People can only visit one area of the island at a time so that damage doesn't occur and so that the plants and island don't get

The use of natural resources to attract tourists, if successful, leads to the obligation of an infrastructure upon ‘nature’. Over time, it is the manmade structures that maintain the desirability of the tourist resort, not the natural features that prompted the original.(Ryan, 1991) Thus by focusing too much on attracting tourists

As mentioned by Rimmington & Morrison (2009), the assistance from different parts of the world presents a new and diverse outlook for future research including theoretical innovations and revelations, cultural and environmental aspects, tourist destination and other ecotourism and recreational aspects of tourism and hospitality industry (Brotherton,

carefully assessed. The objective of this tourism plan is to show the possibility of developing a

With Hawaii’s economy being dependant on tourism and the main source of employment, it is important for DMOs ensure its attractions and services are maintained. The beaches are Hawaii’s most popular attractions but are in danger due to erosion and pollution. Erosion is a major environmental issue that affects many of Hawaii’s most famous beaches and is a natural phenomenon. However, the building of structures on the coastline and the formation of sea-walls can speed up the affects. This can impact on the marine life, coral reefs and water quality. As the most popular activities for tourists are based in natural surroundings, it is important to not only ensure the safety of tourists but to maintain the natural environment for future generations. In response, Hawaiian DMOs and environmental government organisations work closely to: educate visitors and residents, regulate what activities tourist can and cannot do in specific areas, organise beach clean-ups and plan beach maintenance strategies. Some

However, some studies indicate that tourists might have cultural, social, economic and environmental impacts on the local residents. In fact, these recent studies have awakened

* Increasing the supply: The resort could provide more palapas so that more quests can have opportunity to enjoy it. However I assume that there could be a limitation of installing palapas by government (such as not to damage the nature). There is no information regarding government’s permission. If so, they should offer alternatives for customers. The alternatives could be canopies or beach umbrellas. However, these should be provided free.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

Planning control: Restrictions on the quantity and type of building help prevent a destination becoming over developed. In Majorca, tourism has become the most important source of revenue to the economy. Parts of the island have become over developed due to mass tourism. Eventually action had to be taken to try and reverse the decline in the islands image

Therefore, Singapore needs to have good tourism planning to also accommodate to tourists, while ensuring that locals are not compromised of their own interests. A healthy balance of land space and resources to be distributed for business and commercial uses, housing and tourist sites, are hence relatively important in ensuring that all the different needs of the locals as well as tourists are met.
