P1 Adverse impact of travel and tourism that have driven require for sustainable tourism
development
Travelling always considered as one of the most important and beautiful thing. It is

negative effects on any place (Eyuboglu and Eyuboglu, 2020). Thus, tourism industries have
power to upheaval communities from poverty but sometimes it can damage their identity as well.
In regards with Topdeck, as they are offering 330 assorted tours within 65 countries. But on the
same side there are few issues that have direct impact on firm's identity. Some of the issues are
mentioned in beneath:
Pressure on the resources of the area:
This is most considerable negative impact of tourism. When people stay in some places,
they commonly use local resources like electricity, water, local food items and vehicle.
Therefore, all these assorted resources used by people at particular place in order to make their
trip successful (Fang, 2020). Thus, by using such kind of elements, firstly they disappear fresh
underground water. As it is already happening in so many cities across the globe. As Europe is
1

famous for large number of destinations so that there are lots of people who visits every day in
order to enjoy their holidays and travel packages as well. Thus, Topdeck provide suitable
destinations for people so that they also enjoy local services of their particular destination. So
that sometimes they directly harm water as they use shower limitless so it rescue the water for
flashing. Sometime, they forgot to close the tape properly. These sorts of issues directly
influence place as well as tourism or travel sector.

them to have good research before visiting a new place. For example: In Bali it is easy to wear
shorts but at the same time it negatively influence local people due to every country has their
own culture. So that some tourist are not able to follow them. Thus, it creates negativity at such
place and decrease identity of travel and tourism sector (Azhar and Fauzan, 2020).
As per the given negative factors this can be said that, travel and tourism industry named
as Topdeck should use different types of safety tools and techniques by which they can save
