Mass tourism is one of the largest industries in the world (Hunter, 2002). However, this can lead to many types of pollution, such as noise pollution, air and water pollution, and have a very negative impact on the environment (Marx, 1997). Ecological tourism, on the other hand, can have more positive and less negative impacts. Ecological tourism is growing rapidly in the travel industry (Higgins, 1996). This is probably because it has many advantages. Ecological tourism can be defined as “travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and supports the well-being of local people” (Winson, 2006, p. 8). Promoting eco-tourism will help reduce the amount of pollution, encourage eco-friendly activities that can provide many opportunities, and most importantly, protect our environment. Mass tourism can cause a large amount of pollution due to the large number of tourists traveling by car, bus. , or airplanes, which can produce air and noise pollution (Marx, 1997). Noise pollution from aircraft can have a huge impact on the environment, but gaseous emissions are probably the most significant problem relating to aircraft (Copeland, 1992). Traffic jams are often caused by mass tourism and can also cause more harm than good to the environment. This is called congestion (Marx, 1997). Congestion also occurs in the air and poses a huge threat to air travel as it leads to unnecessary consumption of energy, which increases waste. (Copeland, 1992). This proves that it should be a priority to reduce how often people drive and fly and that they need to be aware of how much energy they use and even waste. Air travel brings a lot of money to the tourism industry due to the use of paper..., BR (1996). The overall structure of the nature tourism industry: ecotourists, tour operators and local businesses.
