Tourism and the Environment

Paper Summary:

The vast numbers of tourists concentrated in particular regions across the world that have had an increasingly negative effect of destruction on the natural environment. This paper depicts the harmful effects of tourism in the regions of Prince Edward Island, Jamaica, and Kenya.

From the Paper:

"Prince Edward Island is one of the major tourist destinations in Canada. Tourists are attracted to the small province because of its numerous white sand beaches, its rolling pastoral landscape, and many tiny villages. Perhaps the reason it is best known is due to the stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery of Anne of Green Gables. Few of the tourists who grace the island every year realize the damages that they are having both directly and indirectly on the environment. The most visible sign of environmental and ecological changes are towards the many sand dunes on the island, among others environmental factors."
