Nowadays, the primary cause of ecological issues is tourism. This is mostly caused by abandoned litter, which may lead to water and air pollution. However, it can be solved by recycling waste and governmental intervention.
Many tourists tend to pollute tourist attractions by throwing garbage in unnecessary places, which may contribute to future environmental problems. There are several reasons to prevent the environmental impact of tourism. First of all, tourist waste can be recycled by non-profit organizations, such as eco-clubs or volunteers. For instance, the Czech Republic has an event, connected with the cleaning of the national park after special occasions every year. Consequently, has a major influence on their environment, so the Czech Republic is considered one of the cleanest countries in the world.
The government can prevent the environmental problems connected with tourism. First and foremost, they have an opportunity to create a law connected with pollution, so people would have a motivation to clean up after themselves. Laws have a good impact on people. For instance, Singapore has very harsh laws. If you throw garbage in the wrong place, you will be obliged to pay a fine. This law raises awareness of people, who come and live in Singapore. People aim to save their money, so they will not pollute their environment. Also, adding this law can make a big contribution to the formation of people’s responsibility for their environment.
To sum up, to prevent the environmental problems caused by tourism we should recycle tourist waste, which may be the cause of pollution. Additionally, the law about cleaning after ourselves can improve the level of our responsibility for our environment and prevent pollution from tourists.
