  3. Problems/Issues (2-3 minutes)-Tiff Pollution Economic Issues The increasing growth in the number of visitors has caused management companies to spend more on visitor infrastructure, management and education so they have less and less to spend on the actual conservation. Loss of woods, waters, etc. (Potential solution->increased funding by increased govt budget. They do this by demonstrating the economic significance of the nature tourism industry, which is based largely on parks. Or by direct charges or levies charged to visitors and tour operators where they need to treat them like commercial clients. They need to collect info on the size and geographical, competitive and price structure of this sector.) • Light • Air-Fuels from boats and planes • Land-Trash, beach erosion • Architectural-Hotels on the beaches which creates light pollution • Noise Pollution-Tourists, affects animal habitats
