Although the sale of souvenirs provides an important source of revenue for tourism communities their production has environmental implications largely unbeknownst to the average tourist.
As tourism grows and shopping activity increases, there is added pressure on souvenir producers and retailers to meet the escalating demands of tourists’ souvenir needs.
In turn, this growth can put pressure on the natural environment where souvenirs, or their raw materials, originate (e.g. wood and animal parts).
Wild plants and animals and their derivatives are sold worldwide through hotels and resorts, tourism outlets, and local markets as curiosities (curios) and souvenirs, in both raw and processed form, as trophies, jewelry, art, crafts, and clothing.
For example, the contribution of coral and shell exploitation for the souvenir and/or international trade to coral reef degradation
Wildlife souvenirs could become (more) problematic in the future as tourism grows and the presence of illegal or prohibited items that are infiltrated into souvenir markets continues and/or increases.
