economic and socio-cultural dimensions of the growth of tourism, plays a major role in

P1. Adverse impacts of travel and tourism that have driven the need for sustainable tourism
development
Tourism brings development to the country by drawing various tourists, which enhances
direct foreign investment. Yet there are at the same time several detrimental effects that can
impact the climate and become a obstacle to sustainable tourist operations. Some impacts which
affect the tourism and travel industry are described below:
Scarce resources: Natural resources are finite, but people's desires are limitless, serving as
a huge risk to the tourism industry to meet the needs of each and every tourist. Similarly, it
requires large amounts of water to meet tourism expectations in terms of operating the hotels and
swimming pool facilities. Topdeck Travel agency make sure that, they will satisfy all the need of
clients but after analysing resources which required.
Physical destruction of an environment Travel and tourism sector can influence the
stable equilibrium within the ecosystem as tourism industry functions with the goal of gaining
immense amount of revenue and productivity (Ali and Frew, 2013). This contributed industry to
take out its operation in desirable area to attract people as most resources are built close to
beaches or core forest vicinity that can lead to issues such as pollution, desertification chances,
