Impacts of Tourism on the Environment

2. Pollution
3. Visual
4. Erosion
5. Natural Resource
6. Urban Form
DID YOU KNOW THAT WATER HAS BECAME A HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE IN A LOTS OF PLACES IN THE THIRD WORLD!

So what does climate change do to this planet?
Sea level rise
Increased temperature
Change in rainfall patterns
Increased intensity of storm activity
Direct damage to tourism plant and natural resources
Loss of attractiveness of the region as a destination

In conclusion i post two videos:
- the first video regarding Global Climate Change! Simple yet effective! i love his drawing :)



- the second video: a 12 years old kid presenting " What's Wrong With Our Food System". Even a 12 years old understand, why can't some of the adults?

Cheers and stay safe - gav
