- Impacts categorized by scope (economic, environmental, social, cultural, political), direction (positive or negative), and type (actual vs. perceived).
Types and Scope of Tourism Impacts
- Impacts are not one-dimensional; they can improve or deteriorate conditions (e.g., Boracay example).
- Short-term impacts are reversible, such as littering; irreversible impacts require long recovery, like coral reef damage.
Determinants of Tourism Impacts
- Influenced by the level of economic development, strength of economic linkages, stakeholder capacity, and location.
- Physical and social carrying capacities, technology, tourism volume, and served tourist markets also play key roles.
Tourism Volume and Density
- Tourism Density: Number of tourists relative to the area of the destination.
- Tourism Ratio: Volume of tourists compared to the local population; impacts increase with density and ratio.
Distribution of Tourist Zones
- Governments manage negative effects by concentrating tourism in specific areas, while disseminating benefits through designated development clusters.
Tourist Markets Served
- Categorized as institutionalized (organized mass tourists) or non-institutionalized (explorers).
- Canadian Tourism Commission identifies various explorer types, such as cultural explorers and rejuvenators.
Role of Technology in Tourism
