Home About For Travelers For Companies For Accommodations For Tour Operators Partners Support Blog Navigation Green Travel International Our Mission – “Go Green” Ecotourism To promote responsible, environmentally friendly, and sustainable ecotourism by helping both travelers and the tourism / hospitality industry to choose travel practices that help save the planet. What is Ecotourism and why do we need it? Ecotourism is responsible and sustainable travel that helps conserve the environment, protect local culture and wildlife, and save the planet. The impact of tourism on the environment is greater than most of us imagine and it is the responsibility of both travelers and travel / tourism companies to engage in ecotourism that supports sustainable and eco-friendly practices that save the environment. Here are some ways that the tourism industry negatively affects the environment: Pressure on Natural Resources Natural resources around the world are becoming more and more scarce, while tourism continues to expand as more people travel the globe. As natural resources are shared among all earth’s inhabitants it is imperative that we find ways to minimize the impact from travel on renewable and nonrenewable resources to conserve for the future. During a tourist season local resources can be strained as tourists demand resources that often times are wasted with mismanagement and overuse. Water – Water is fast becoming one of the most important natural resources on the planet and in many areas this resource is being wasted by overuse from the tourism industry. This includes over-consumption by tourists and overuse by hotels for golf courses and swimming pools. General overuse of water supplies also creates a larger volume of waste water which is often times not properly treated. Tourists end up using double the water that local inhabitants use in their daily life. As an example, Tourism Concern estimates that a typical golf course in Thailand uses the same amount of water each year as 60,000 tourists. Local – Resources including raw materials, food, and energy are often put under enormous pressure during a typical tourist season as often there are 10 times more inhabitants during the season. Land – Construction of tourism facilities has led to land degradation that puts pressure on natural resources such as forests, soil, minerals, fossil fuels, wildlife, and wetlands. Deforestation is also a direct result of land clearing for construction and fuel wood collection. Increased Pollution Pollution to the local environment is one of the number one issues regarding green tourism. There are many different types of pollution that come from the travel industry and many of them are issues that can be addressed. In most cases tourists and the companies that support them pollute many times more over than local residents and this is a cause of great concern.
