Surely it’s self limiting, as more tourists arrive the attractiveness goes down.
From a sustainability point of view though 10,000 people concentrated in a single tourist complex is better than 100 villages with 100 people each.
- defrost 3y agoIt's not a 100 villages though, is it? It's 2.2 million local residents living a long term largely sustainable life that are being swamped by an additional non resident 13.9 million people per annum.
- Snoozus 3y agoNothing is sustainable about living on the canaries. Energy is largely imported fossile fuel, water comes from desalination via said energy. The banana monocultures are an ecological desaster as well.
- lupusreal 3y agoEconomic sustainability != Environmental sustainability
- chgs 3y agoTourism in general is unsustainable but mass tourism in limited areas is more sustainable per head than spread out tourism
- defrost 3y agoTourism here, as in most places overrun with tourism, isn't advancing by consolidating all prior tourist locations into a single more efficient tourist hotspot, it's proceeding by adding on additional tourist mega plexes.
