(Economic Impacts of Tourism: United Nations Environment Program) The development of the tourism industry could cost the local government as well as local taxpayers a huge amount of money. The government resources being utilized on developing the airport, roads as well as other infrastructure or providing tax breaks for developing the tourism industry could enable the government to minimize their investment in other important sectors like education as also health thereby affecting local development. Further the seasonal nature of the tourism industry leads to economic issues for areas which are seriously dependent on it. The increased demand from tourists for basic services as well as goods could mostly lead to price hikes which could negatively impact the local residents whose income does not enhance in a proportionate manner. The development of the tourism industry and the increase in the demand for real estate which are being linked could bring about a hike in the building costs as well as land values. It could also lead to dominance by people outside the area in the real estate markets as well as in-migration which affects the economic possibilities for the local residents, ultimately disempowering the residents of the area. The poor people who live near the beaches would have to give way for tourism development of setting up beach resorts, hotels, businesses and so on.

2. Positive and negative impacts of the environment on Tourism:

Environmental quality, both natural as well as artificial are indispensable to tourism. but, tourism bears a complex relationship with the environment. It covers a lot of activities which can put an adverse environmental impact. A lot of these impacts are associated with the creation of general...

The negative impacts of tourism have a debilitating effect on the environmental resources on which it is dependent. Conversely tourism has the potential to create beneficial impact on the environment by way of contribution to environmental safeguards and conservation. It is a means to increase consciousness of environmental values and it can act as an instrument to fund protection of natural areas and also raise their economic value.

There exists a dual relationship between tourism and climate change. Judging from one aspect, tourism has an onerous task of minimizing the adverse effect on the environment and therefore on the emission of greenhouse gases that in turn is responsible for climate change. From another aspect, it was identified that changes to the world climate will bear a direct consequence on a lot of tourism destinations that could have long-term allusion, not exclusively for the tourism industry, but also for other economic sectors. We can think of two environments that are crucial for the tourism activities and where tourism is an important constituent in regional and local economies and these are the costal and mountainous areas. For example, coastal tourism appears to bear damage from the majority of impact of climate change such as sea-beach erosion, rising sea levels, sea storms and lower water supply. Similarly, in mountainous areas, consequences of climate change will eventually witness lower demand for winter sports due to shortening of winter season. This will put a long-term effect on winter sports as a whole since younger generation will not get interested in pursuing the sports. Lengthening of summer season as a consequence of global
