Our Impact on the Planet.

From beach resort package deals to African adventure holidays, more and more people are spending money on travel. Tourism has become one of the world's largest and fastest-growing industries, creating enormous wealth but also causing serious environmental, cultural and economic problems in destination countries. As tourists increase in numbers and venture into ever more remote locations, such negative effects seem set to get worse - unless urgent action is taken.

This book examines the most pressing issues affecting the industry. Can hotel owners and tour operators be persuaded to stop damaging fragile environments and traditional ways of life? Is it advisable for less developed countries to base their economies on tourism? And how can tourists themselves make more responsible, informed choices? Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.

The environmental strand of the '21st Century Debates' series looks at the impact human development is having on the planet and how this could affect our future. At the dawn of a new millennium, we are consuming more energy and producing more waste than ever before. What are the effects of our consumption on the natural world and how long can it last? This series examines the difficult decisions faced by governments and organisations concerned with these issues and asks what we as individuals can do to help.
