Environmental ImpactWhile nature-based tourism provides substantial incentive for environmental preservation, numerous negative environmental impacts result from the unmanaged influx of visitors in an area. Without proper infrastructure, litter and other types of pollution worsen--eateries opened to accommodate tourists have no way to dispose of waste properly, and resorts and hotels are known to release untreated sewage into waterways. If visitors are not educated about beneficial environmental practices, they can cause habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity. Freshwater shortages are also common in areas with increased tourism and minimal management practices. Patronize vendors who emphasize environmentally conscious practices, and avoid areas know for over-tourism or marked environmental degradation.
