Tourism has seriously damaged fragile ecosystems like the Alps—the winter skiing playground of
Europe—and the trekking areas of the Himalayas. Worldwide, it poses a serious threat to coastal habitats like
dunes, mangrove forests, and coral reefs. It fuels a booming and usually illegal trade in the products of
threatened wildlife, from tortoise-shells and corals to ivories. Its “consumers” inevitably bring their habits
and expectations with them—whether it is hot showers and flush toilets or well-watered greens for golfers. In
the Himalayas, showers for trekkers often mean firewood, which means deforestation. In Hawaii and
Barbados, it was found that each tourist used six and ten times as much water and electricity as a local. In
Goa, villagers forced to walk to wells for their water had to watch helplessly as a pipeline to a new luxury
hotel was built through their land. Over the past decade, golf, because of its appetite for land, water, and
herbicides, has emerged as one of the biggest culprits, so much so that “golf wars” have broken out in parts
of Southeast Asia; campaigners in Japan, one of the chief exponents of golf tourism, have launched an annual
World No Golf Day.
