The most polluting human activity is tourism.
- truebosko 11y agoFalse. Sustainable tourism is achievable and can bring good to the places you go.
- titzer 11y agoCan bring good, yes. But mostly that just means money, which may drive clean up, may make some locals wealthy and others poor and/or displaced. It also brings, unfortunately, cultural imperialism and well, Starbucks.
- jacquesm 11y agoIt can, but more often than not it destroys the thing it is all about. See: turtles in Greece, quiet beaches and so on. Nothing like a thundering herd of humans with power gadgets coming in by plane to package holidays centered around hastily constructed hotels and other infrastructure (airports, for instance).

- brent_noorda 11y agoFalse. There is no "sustainable tourism" if it requires you to fly a long distance to get there.
