    • Social Representations Theory explains how knowledge about tourism impacts is constructed.
    • Limited understanding leads to inequity; elites benefit disproportionately while the poor face negative impacts.

    Environmental Issues in Tourism

    • Environmental Discrimination: Results from policies that create disproportionate effects on vulnerable communities.
    • Environmental Racism: Refers to policies that adversely affect individuals based on race or ethnicity.

    Tourism Policy and Development

    • Tourism policy outlines the development framework and prioritization within the overall development strategy.
    • Major development strategy includes the establishment of Tourism Enterprise Zones (TEZ).
    • TEZ requires 5 hectares for ordinary zones and 50 hectares for flagship zones.

    Definitions and Determinants of Tourism Impacts

    • Tourism Impact: Changes induced by tourism-related policies, establishments, and behaviors.
    • 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

    • Technology has the potential to modify the environmental impacts of tourism, offering solutions to mitigate adverse effects.
