This article only focuses on a few hot tourist destinations, but it then tries to generalize that to the entire world, which is mostly not one giant tourist destination. "The World" is not "eaten" just because Mount Everest is crowded. Tourism is mostly just eating Tourism. On the other hand, tourism accounts for 8% of greenhouse gas emissions. As rates of tourism increase, so will a negative effect on the global environment. And an increase in poorly implemented eco-tourism is hurting vulnerable environments without strong economies to protect them; some examples being the Galapagos and Madagascar. Those parts of the world definitely are being eaten by Tourism, and we should focus more on sustainable tourism to prevent further damage.
