This document discusses the impacts of tourism on destinations. It provides the example of Bali in the 1980s, which experienced negative impacts as its exotic culture and beautiful beaches initially attracted many tourists. However, overtourism led to changed culture and dirty beaches, which resulted in fewer tourists visiting. The document stresses that tourism must be managed sustainably to reduce negative impacts and conserve resources for future use, otherwise destinations risk destroying their attractiveness and losing the benefits of tourism. Sustainable tourism involves careful management of resources so they are not depleted and enough remains for future generations. Local communities, visitors, tour operators, and planning authorities all have roles in conserving destinations to ensure sustainable tourism.

impacts
impacts
The place benefits from tourism isn’t it?

NEGATIVE
positive
<
impacts
impacts
The place will be destroyed by tourism
= no longer attractive to tourist
= no more tourist
= NO MORE POSITIVE IMPACTS!

6. Example : Bali in the ‘80s

10. If we don’t reduce
the negative impacts,
we will run out of tourism resources
= unable to benefit
from tourism
in the future
= not sustainable

11. We manage impacts to ensure
that it is sustainable
= enough for future use
so sustainable tourism
= form of tourism where
it doesn’t leave negative impacts
& does not damage local
environment, society and culture
so that there is enough for future use

12. We achieve sustainable tourism
through conservation
= careful management and use of
resources such that the resources will
not be depleted

to ensure sustainable tourism?
