Negative Impact of Tourism

• Water Quality
• The tourism industry impacts water quality
  through construction and maintenance of tourist
  infrastructure, recreational boating, and certain
  activities of the cruise industry.
• The construction of tourist facilities and
  infrastructure also increases the amount of
  impervious surfaces, which in turn increases the
  amount of polluted runoff reaching waterbodies.

• Air Quality
• Transport by air, road, and rail is continuously
  increasing in response to the rising number of
  tourist activities in India.
• Air pollution from tourist transportation has
  impacts on the global level, especially from
  carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions related to
  transportation energy use and it can lead to
  severe local air pollution.

• Impacts on Wildlife
• Wildlife can be adversely affected by the
  construction and maintenance of tourist
  infrastructure, and by tourist activities.
• Impacts from tourist infrastructure can be
  direct, such as when development in lower
  elevations of mountain resorts restricts the
  migratory range of certain wildlife.
