international tourism
International tourism has grown significantly in recent decades due to factors such as increased wealth, paid time off, and improved transportation. While tourism provides economic benefits, it also poses risks to environments and local cultures. Countries employ various strategies to manage tourism's impacts, such as regulating infrastructure development and tourism activities to reduce environmental damage. Ecotourism aims to minimize impacts through low-impact wildlife observation, but not all efforts have proven successful as balanced management requires commitment from governments and tourism operators.
Components of Tourism
Tourism involves people traveling to places outside their usual environment for leisure, business, or other purposes for less than a year. The key factors that influence tourism are accessibility, accommodation, and attractions. Accessibility refers to the transportation options available to reach destinations like air, rail, road, and water. Accommodation includes the lodging available such as hotels, motels, inns, and guesthouses. Attractions are anything that draws people to visit a place like monuments, museums, natural landscapes, and cultural sites. The document discusses each of these factors in more detail.
Introduction to tourism and its impacts
Tourism is the world's largest industry, contributing significantly to global economic development and job creation. While tourism generates wealth and employment, it can also negatively impact the environment and local cultures. The large numbers of visitors can cause overcrowding, pollution, damage to ecosystems, and changes to traditional ways of life. However, tourism also supports conservation efforts and cultural heritage programs when managed sustainably.
Nature based tourism presentation work
This document discusses nature-based tourism in Uganda. It provides examples of nature-based tourism activities in Uganda like gorilla trekking and bird watching. It also discusses the roles and responsibilities of tour guides in nature-based tourism, which include educating tourists, influencing sustainable behavior, and ensuring a quality experience. Effective techniques for tour guides include being knowledgeable, flexible, ensuring professionalism and providing value for money.
Chap5 (tourism impacts)
This document discusses the impacts of tourism from economic, socio-cultural, and environmental perspectives. It outlines both positive and negative impacts in each category. For example, economically tourism can result in job creation but also seasonal fluctuations. Socio-culturally, it can preserve cultural heritage but also lead to loss of authenticity. Environmentally, tourism can raise environmental awareness but also cause pollution, overcrowding, and damage natural habitats if not properly managed. The document also discusses various measures to mitigate tourism's negative impacts, like green initiatives in the hotel, transportation, and cities/towns sectors.
Kenya Tourism
Kenya is a popular tourist destination in East Africa despite being an LEDC. It has many natural attractions that draw visitors, like beaches, mountains, wildlife reserves, and opportunities for safari. Tourism provides economic benefits through foreign income and job creation, but also has social, environmental, and economic disadvantages if not properly managed. The solution is to develop "green tourism" that is environmentally sustainable and involves local communities.
Sustainable tourism in small islands and its challenges to sustainability
The document discusses the challenges of sustainable tourism development in small island destinations. It notes that while islands are popular tourism destinations due to their unique environments and cultures, their small size and fragile ecosystems make them highly vulnerable to negative impacts from tourism. The document then focuses on the example of Lakshadweep islands, India. It outlines the islands' policies for promoting high-value, low-volume ecotourism based on carrying capacity to preserve environmental and cultural heritage while providing economic benefits. Waste disposal and water pollution from tourism are identified as key sustainability issues.

7 Reasons to Visit Antarctica
Antarctica, the frozen continent at the bottom of the world, remains one of the most mysterious and captivating destinations for adventurers and nature enthusiasts. Despite its extreme conditions, visiting Antarctica offers an unparalleled experience unlike any other place on Earth. Here are seven compelling reasons why embarking on a journey to Antarctica should be on everyone’s bucket list.
Expedition ships Introduction.pptx
Expedition ships are smaller vessels that allow for more active exploration of destinations through activities like Zodiac rides and hiking led by naturalists, focusing on wildlife viewing, cultural experiences, and environmental education, in contrast to the larger entertainment-focused cruise ships. Pioneers like Lars-Eric Lindblad helped establish expedition cruising in remote regions like Antarctica starting in the 1960s. Expedition ships continue to evolve with newer vessels incorporating more amenities while maintaining a focus on immersive experiences led by expert guides.
Antarctica
The document discusses Antarctica as the world's last great wilderness. It describes Antarctica as extremely cold, dry, windy, and inaccessible. It is covered in ice and protected by the Antarctic Treaty, which bans mining and designates Antarctica for peace and science. The treaty has been signed by 44 countries representing 80% of the world's population. The document also discusses Antarctic wildlife, climate change research conducted in Antarctica, comparisons to the Arctic, and resources for teaching about Antarctica.
Antarctica 4 Getting Started
This document provides an overview of travel to Antarctica, including key details about the continent and guidelines for visiting responsibly. It discusses that Antarctica can only be visited during the summer months from November to March. Ship-based group tours are the primary means of visiting, with trips costing a minimum of $5000. Guidelines emphasize protecting wildlife, avoiding damage to the environment, and safety in the extreme conditions. The bottom of the document outlines rules for visiting areas, conducting research, handling wildlife, disposing of waste, and preserving the natural landscape.
Antarctica Be Developed
This document discusses differing viewpoints on whether Antarctica should be developed from various interest groups. Fishermen argue development is acceptable for fishing and krill harvesting to address food shortages. Miners believe Antarctica's coal, oil, and metals reserves could fuel global development needs. However, researchers value Antarctica for environmental monitoring and data collection. Conservationists and environmental groups strongly oppose development due to the pristine environment's value and past harms from human activity like waste dumping and oil spills. Overall, opinions differ on whether Antarctica's resources should be utilized or if it should remain protected from economic exploitation and tourism impacts.

1. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, highest, and southernmost continent. It has extreme weather and few permanent residents but amazing scenery and wildlife.
2. Most visitors arrive on organized tours by ship, usually departing from Ushuaia, Argentina. The peak seasons are November to March for trips to the Antarctic Peninsula and January to March for wildlife viewing.
3. Antarctica has a fragile environment and strict regulations to prevent pollution and introduction of invasive species. Proper clothing and preparation are essential given the extreme climate and limited emergency support.
Antarcticalsn1
The document discusses Antarctica, including:
1) Antarctica is a continent located at the South Pole, covering an area 1.5 times the size of the United States. It is very cold, windy, and dry, with temperatures reaching as low as -89.2°C.
2) Only about 1,000 people live in Antarctica at research stations during the summer, with no permanent residents. The Antarctic Treaty governs the continent to protect wildlife and ban military activity and mining.
3) Tourists visit Antarctica between November and March for its unique scenery and wildlife, including penguins, seals, and whales. However, human activity risks disturbing the environment and pollution. There is debate around
Greenland: The New 'IT' Destination
Greenland is promoted as a new top travel destination, known for its vast wilderness areas, colorful villages, and opportunities to see spectacular natural wonders like icebergs and the Northern Lights. Potential itineraries highlighted in the document include trips ranging from 10-18 days exploring different regions of Greenland, with activities like hiking, kayaking, and visiting Inuit communities or historic sites. Planning advice is provided around factors to consider like tour operator experience levels, included amenities, and insurance options when booking a Greenland adventure vacation.
Explore Antarctica
The document appears to be promoting expedition cruises to Antarctica operated by Quark Expeditions. It describes several itineraries ranging from 8-23 days exploring various regions of Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. The cruises offer opportunities to see wildlife like penguins, seals, and whales, visit historic sites, learn from onboard experts, participate in activities like hiking, kayaking, and camping, and cross the Antarctic Circle.
Lsn2s Antarctica
Antarctica is important for several reasons:
1) It stores minerals and resources that may be needed in the future like oil, gold, and coal.
2) It contains 75% of the Earth's fresh water.
3) It reflects heat from the sun, helping to reduce global warming.
There are arguments both for and against developing Antarctica. Those for development say its resources could help address issues like rising oil prices and food shortages. Those against say Antarctica should be preserved as the world's last untouched wilderness and developing it could harm wildlife and the environment. The future of Antarctica is debated between prioritizing protection versus sustainable use of its resources.

Lesson16 casestudy3antarctica
Tourism in Antarctica has grown significantly in recent years due to attractions like penguins and magnificent scenery. However, increased tourism is putting pressure on the fragile Antarctic environment. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) created guidelines to promote responsible tourism, but not all tour operators follow them. There are concerns that without better regulation, issues like pollution, wildlife disruption, and potential ecological disasters from cruise ships could seriously damage Antarctica if visitor numbers continue rising as predicted. Environmentalists worry that without action, Antarctica could be transformed from a nature reserve into an unsustainable tourist destination.

Analea Key Note
This document provides information about Antarctica. It discusses the native wildlife like penguins and seals. It describes the journey via icebreaker ship to Antarctica and notes the extreme cold. It details the geography of Antarctica, which covers over 13 million square kilometers and contains two active volcanoes. It notes that Antarctica is covered by a thick ice sheet up to 4,000 meters deep that would cause the land below to rise by over 700 meters if it melted. The document outlines some of the challenges of living in Antarctica for scientists and station crew, who must protect from sun exposure and carry out various roles to support the station.

Antarctica is located at the South Pole and surrounded by oceans. It has no permanent residents or government. While uninhabited, various countries maintain research stations housing 1,000-5,000 people seasonally. Antarctica has an extremely cold and windy climate, with recorded temperatures as low as -129.3°F. It is home to a diverse array of wildlife including penguins, seals, whales, fish, and birds that have adapted to survive the harsh conditions. Vegetation is limited due to the extreme climate.
Should Antarctica Be Developed?
The document discusses differing viewpoints on whether Antarctica should be developed from various interest groups including fishermen, miners, researchers, tourists, waste disposal experts, military spokespersons, World Wildlife Fund supporters, conservationists, Greenpeace, eco-campaigners, and Antarctic explorers. Each group provides arguments for their perspective, such as fishermen wanting to continue fishing for livelihoods, miners seeing resources to serve world needs, and conservation groups worrying about environmental impacts. Overall, there are mixed views both for and against development in Antarctica depending on the priorities and concerns of each interest group.

National Park Authorities are responsible for planning permissions to protect parks now and for future generations. They grant changes to building and land use or new buildings while ensuring wildlife and landscapes are preserved. They aim to meet the needs of those living and working in parks now while safeguarding them for the future.
Energy, Globalisation and Global Warming
This document discusses the social, environmental, and economic impacts of an unspecified use. It also examines how carbon dioxide causes global warming and poses questions about global warming and rising CO2 levels. Specifically, it addresses how the use can increase quality of life but also lung diseases. Environmentally, it can cause smog and rising CO2 levels. Economically, it is limited by fossil fuel supplies. Global warming is linked to rising CO2 and is causing sea level rise, habitat destruction, and rising fuel costs. Ice cores can reveal past CO2 levels and temperature and CO2 are correlated.
Sustainable tourism
International travel increased 4% between 2010 and 2011, with 980 million travelers, and is projected to reach 1.5 billion travelers by 2020. Sustainable tourism aims to minimize negative impacts on the environment and local communities while maximizing benefits. It involves responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves local well-being. Ecotourism is a form of sustainable tourism that specifically focuses on visiting fragile, pristine, and usually protected areas and emphasizing environmental and cultural learning. The presentation examines sustainable tourism practices in Kenya through case studies of lodges, villages, and conservation groups that empower local communities, generate local employment and business, and protect cultural heritage and the natural environment.

This powerpoint presentation discusses fossil fuels and energy usage around the world. It explores what fossil fuels are, how they are used differently worldwide, and provides data on energy consumption in various countries. The main sources of energy discussed are oil, gas, and coal, which are non-renewable fossil fuels derived from ancient organic remains. The presentation examines how fossil fuels are used for electricity, heating homes and making goods, and fuel for transportation. Country-level data shows energy usage varies significantly, with Australia, France, the UK and USA using the most, and Bangladesh, Kenya and India using the least.
Crime and target hardening
A computer expert was jailed after hacking into victims' webcams and accessing personal data and photographs by sending out millions of virus-infected emails. The article discusses how Matthew Anderson was able to access private information through malware that allowed him to view webcams and steal files after distributing large numbers of infected emails. His actions demonstrate how cybercrime can enable access to personal devices and data without consent when malware is used to compromise systems at a large scale.
Supervolcanoes
I live by the volcano because....
Volcanoes can cause deadly hazards such as pyroclastic flows that move at 200km/h and contain poisonous gases and rocks. Ash clouds from eruptions can lead to suffocation and building collapses, while volcanic bombs and lava can destroy buildings and crops. Poisonous gases like carbon monoxide and sulfur can cause acid rain. Supervolcanic eruptions eject over 1,000 cubic km of material and form caldera depressions, with the last one occurring 74,000 years ago in Indonesia. Yellowstone sits over a hotspot and has experienced enormous eruptions in the past forming calderas.

Extreme tourism
- 1. Extreme tourism niche tourism involving travel to dangerous places participation in dangerous events "adrenaline rush" caused by an element of risk
- 2. What is extreme tourism? • What are extreme environments? • Create a case study on Antarctica • Explore what can be done to reduce the impacts on Antarctica
- 4. -40"C to -70'C in the coldest month -1 5'C to -35"C in the warmest month nearest landmass is South America, which is over 620 miles from the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. organised through the legal framework of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959- 43 nations involved! The population varies from fewer than 1,000 in winter to over 50,000 in summer: 5,000 scientists from 27 of the countries party to the Surface area: 14 million Antarctic Treaty, plus tourists square miles
- 5. Why go there? • picturesque and wildlife rich areas of Antarctica • Courting season for penguins and seabirds - see spectacular courtship rituals. • Seals visible on fast ice. • Spring wildflowers in the Falklands and South Georgia. • Elephant and fur seals establish their breeding territories • Winter pack ice is starting to melt and break up. The scenery is white, clean and pristine with pack ice and giant icebergs ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: http://www.coolantarctica.com/Travel/antarcti ca_travel_home.htm
- 8. Who goes to Antarctica? This includes cruises! (not the scientists working on the 50 research stations!)
- 9. Colour code these into Social, Impacts? Enviro and Econ Tourists often arrive on the island by cruise ship… The nesting sites for penguins are near to tourist attractions • Animals becoming stressed because of the crowds of people causing them to abandon eggs or their young • Cruise ships have struck icebergs causing oil spills which damages the environment and poisons the wildlife • Tourists need services to be provided for them such as toilets, equipment hire shops etc.. which changes the use of the land from the natural environment to buildings.
- 10. Tourism managed? All tour operators that take tourists to Antarctica must be a member of IAATO which makes sure they stick to certain rules to protect the environment and the wildlife: • Tourist ships must get rid of their waste far away from the coast of Antarctica to reduce the risk of pollution • Visitors are not allowed to go to Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) to protect wildlife from being disturbed • A permit must be gained before a company can allow tourists to take part in any adventure activities to reduce damage to the environment from unsafe or damaging activities • No ships carrying more than 500 people are allowed near Antarctica
