  10. What is “Mass Tourism”? • : the act of visiting a destination with large amounts of people at one time • Often there are tour groups, package deals

  11. The Struggle: • How can tourism be promoted and developed in a way that will sustain the beauty, nature, and culture of this unique place? • Are we just destroying that which we love?

  12. Economic Impact of Mass Tourism Positive Effects • It does bring in a lot of money • Tourism creates jobs • When these locals spend their $$$ on goods and services, it leads to what is known as the "multiplier effect," creating more jobs.

  13. Economic Impact of Mass Tourism Negative Effects • A lot of the money goes overseas to international developers • Government has to spend $$ on tourism infrastructure like highways and visitor centres, maybe that $$ could have better spent elsewhere • Many of the jobs created are low-level, with the higher-end jobs going to non-locals • Tourism can push up local property prices and the cost of goods and services

  14. Social Impact of Mass Tourism Positive Impact • The improvements to infrastructure also benefit the local community. • Tourism encourages the preservation of traditional customs, handicrafts and festivals that might otherwise have been allowed to wane, and it creates civic pride. • Interchanges between hosts and guests create a better cultural understanding and can also help raise global awareness of issues such as poverty and human rights abuses.

  15. Social Impact of Mass Tourism Negative Impact • Crowding, traffic, drugs and alcohol problems, prostitution and increased crime levels can occur. • Tourism can even infringe on human rights, with locals being displaced from their land to make way for new hotels or barred from beaches. • Interaction with tourists can also lead to an erosion of traditional cultures and values (Westernization)

  16. Environmental Impact of Mass Tourism Positive Impact • Tourism helps promote conservation of wildlife and natural resources such as rain forests, as these are now regarded as tourism assets. • It also helps generate funding for maintaining animal preserves from entrance and guide fees.

  17. Environmental Impact of Mass Tourism Negative Impact • Water pollution and water shortages • Too much garbage and not enough space to put it all • Urban sprawl into vulnerable or agricultural land • Devastation of local ecosystems

  18. The Battle for Bali • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNlgFQXWl2A 16:14 • While watching, think about... • What impact is tourism having on Bali’s environment? • What impact is tourism having on Bali’s people?

  19. Of course, the answer is not to attack tourism. Everyone is a tourist at some point in their life. • Rather, we have to: • regulate the sector • return to the traditions of local urban planning • put the rights of residents before those of big business

  20. Effect of Mass Tourism on Other Famous Sites

  21. The Taj Mahal • Its beautiful white marble is yellowing from air pollution • It is completely overrun with tourists

  22. Uluru • Local Aboriginal people consider it sacred and have asked people not to climb it • However tourists have been urinating, leaving trash, and vandalizing the rock face at the top of Uluru for years. • Visitors have also been chipping off stones and defacing culturally significant engravings with name carvings of their own

  23. Barcelona • AirBNBs and tacky souvenir shops are ruining the character of this old beautiful city • Housing prices have skyrocketed • There are anti-mass-tourism protests
