The Threat of Winter and Summer Holidays to the Environment
One of the most essential things for tourism to be successful in a
particular place is the quality of the environment, both natural and
man-made. But when do the people have enough time to see these sites,
but on summer and winter holidays. However tourism involves many
activities that have a negative effect on the environment. These occur
when the level of usage is bigger than the amount of caring for the
environment. Uncontrolled tourism is threatening many natural areas
around the world. It can put great pressure on an area, and lead to
negative environmental impacts on air and water quality, vegetation,
soil, wildlife, and many other things. These problems occur during
summer holidays when tourists visit the beaches or out into the wild,
they even sometimes end up destroying the countryside after they
leave. Then comes the winter holidays where they main go to the Alps
and other snowy mountains to ski, snowboard, and do other things on
the snow, but even there they don't forget to leave the environment
harmed.
One of the most important areas of tourism is transportation to take
the tourists to their summer destinations (i.e. the beach). Transport
by air, road and rail is rising steadily because of the increasing
number of tourists. One consequence of this is that tourism is
responsible for a large amount of air pollutions. These emissions, as
well as those from the production of electricity (another important
tourist need) are linked to acid rain, chemical pollution and global
warming.
And when tourists are not going anywhere, they are probably on the
beach, littering both the beach with their rubbish or polluting the
water with noisy jet skis that leak oil into the water killing many
plants and animals. Other thing that the tourists don't realize is,
that their constant trampling on soil causes the plants to die and
loosens the soil particles and also accelerates soil erosion in that
area. They should have more bin facilities, and signs to make the
Impacts of Tourism in Swanage Tourism has the potential to create impacts on the environment and communities that it relies on to accommodate visitors. Its impacts are mitigated by the long history of tourism activity. Communities have become used to tourism activity, and management measures to limit some areas of environmental damage have been implemented. Nevertheless, some impacts are far ranging, and they are set out below: * Inappropriate Development An increase in visitors can lead to pressure for new developments to serve and capitilise on their needs, eg. Caravan parks, visitor centres, cafes, signs, car parks, and additional accommodation.
Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
The Government and mining industry is designed to make the public believe that the area that has been destroyed can be regenerated or rehabilitated back to its former state. Although this can be done and trees and other plants are able to grow, the natural ecosystems can not be regrown (Savestraddie.com, 2018). Excessive instream sand-and-gravel mining causes the degradation of rivers. Depletion of sand in the streambed and along coastal areas causes the deepening of rivers and estuaries, and the enlargement of river mouths and coastal inlets. It may also lead to saline-water intrusion from the nearby sea (Environmental Information System, 2013). In addition, although Sibelco states they try to re-establish the original ecosystem, that occupied the island before they begun mining in the area, the ecosystem and plantation will never be the same as it was. With the stopping of sand mining, there will be no further depletion of the vegetation and the ecosystem will be able to grow safely and restore the natural ecosystem, and places that have not been demolished yet, will be safe from destruction from 2019 and onwards.

Source 4: A few reasons why beach pollution is happening is because Trash and other materials that beaches rivers, bays, estuaries and oceans eventually wash up on our beaches. It includes plastic bags, bottles and cans, cigarette filters, bottle caps, and lids.Any trash that is not thrown away and is just thrown in the beach and is in the sand can eventually go into the beach and make the water dirty.A lot of people just throw the trash in the water because they do not care.Some people are too lazy to go throw it away in the trash can.
One of the key elements of tourism is the quality of the environment, both natural and man-made. Tourism however, can have a negative effect on the environment due to people not caring for the environment because it is not an area where they normally reside, so they do not consider what long-term effects that their temporary actions may have. Tourism that is not regulated or controlled can lead to negative environmental impacts on air, water, soil, vegetation, and wildlife quality and sustainability.
The beach, as mentioned in the introduction, has some coastal and environmental issues. These issues include erosion, removal of vegetation and pollution. Although it may not seem like there are many issues these issues are big. On top of these issues there are social, economic and environmental issues as well.
human doing bad thing to the earth is the theme of the toxic love story. Every time we litter or even throw something away the garbage escapes the landfill and litter the beach.Therefore the beaches are trashed up and dirty.
Like it or not people have a huge impact on the evirment . Alot of the time, the impact is determined to the eviroment. The deetriment that people cause can effect the food we eat and the air we breath.
Ski resorts I just finished writing a paper on the environmental effects of resorts and it is pretty crazy for the worse. Snowboarding and skiing are great recreational sports, but just like everything in the world, they do have effects on the environment which I thought was important for everyone to know: # n fact, winter sports and recreational tourism have very significant negative environmental and cultural impacts. All these things disturb the natural environment.
Coastal Tourism involves tourist products located along Coastal Environments - due to the limited extent of coastal environments they often are amongst the first places to experience tourist congestion for a region.
New Zealand tourism is largely reliant on 'Eco-tourism' so to maintain the tourism industry it is imperative that our environment is conserved. However tourism itself can have negative effects on the environment. The tourism sector must act responsibly in its use of the environment and any use must be sustainable.
The earth is a complex system, which continues to evolve and change. Climate change and global warming are currently popular in the political agenda. But what does “climate” really mean? The difference between weather and climate can be conveyed in a single sentence: “Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.” Based on research of the geologic record, we know that climate change has happened throughout Earth's history and at present, ever-increasing evidence points to the roles that humans play in altering Earth systems. The Earth and its atmosphere receive heat energy from the sun; the atmospheric heat budget of the Earth depends on the balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing radiation from the planet; which has been constant over the last few thousand years. However present evidence seems to suggest that the recent increase in temperature has been brought about by pollution of the atmosphere, in particular the release of huge amounts of carbon dioxide, mostly through Anthropogenic Forcing (human activity) and other various internal and external factors.

Planting trees and certain other herbaceous plants can have a significantly positive impact on the mitigation of soil erosion. Some great plants that are useful when trying to control soil erosion are sage, buckwheat, and oak trees. This will help keep the water from soiling up and another way is that wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common sight at many well-used beaches and rivers around the world. It should be obvious that the trash from these places often ends up in waterways and can cause pollution. Plastics are an especially big issue when it comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways.
The problem with contaminated beaches will soon take effect on everyone. The main causes that pollution creates in the beaches are from heavy rainfall, natural disasters, and plant malfunctions. Government agencies cannot control the weather, but they can control what goes into the water. In the United States, the number one reason why beaches are closed down are due to contamination in the water that may be harmful and are left untreated. The arising problem with the beach is that the industries are producing toxic chemicals and tossing the unwanted waste into the ocean. Also, the public are recklessly throwing their trash out into the streets. A prime example to demonstrate this is, if someone was trying to throw a bottle into a street trashcan but missed, he/she is unlikely to pick up after himself/herself if no one was around to see it. This scenario causes pollution to the sidewalks. When mother nature disasters occur, these waste products will end up in the storm drains and into the sewage system. The overflow of debri from the cities can flow into the rivers and if not preserved, it can flow into the ocean. The rivers will then carry these human caused waste into t...
A very important aspect of tourism is the transport, transport consists of traveling by air, road, railway and sea. The levels of transportation have been rising at an alarming rate due to the increase in population around the world and due to the increase in traveling tourists. With the increase in the number of tourist, this comes with a consequence, as tourism is responsible for the large amount of air transmissions. These emissions, as well as those that provide the tourists with their important needs such as electricity have great and extremely harmful effects on South Africa's environment for example the wildlife, our fertile soils, the purity of the water supplies, it can even harm human lives and effect our crops. With all these important things being harmed we are risking food shortages due to chemicals effecting the crops, which over a long time can be extremely life threa...
