In terms of negative impacts, the communities identified that
Odysseia-In, and tourism generally, posed a risk in terms of the:
• Rapid modernisation of local culture
• Environmental impacts, in particular litter and footpath erosion
• Arrival of outside entrepreneurs who might develop inappropriate
tourism infrastructure and/or take business away from local businesses
and/or not ‘fit in’
• Internal conflict caused by the unequal distribution of the benefits
from tourism within the communities.
