In the competitive relation of tourism and environment, the conflict of these two is
presented as economic and anthropogenic activity trying to predominate over the environment
and one that leads to the degradation of the environment through the thoughtless growth
of activities. As an example we mention some of the most widespread cases of negative
environmental impacts due to the tourist activity:
● reduction in sea quality through marine transport;
● reduction in the quality of aquatic environment from the disposal of sewages, unrefined or
defectively processed;
● reduction in the land quality from the uncontrolled disposal of waste;
● reduction in the geomorphology due to extensive building and creation of infrastructure
networks;
● damage to the flora, fauna and generally in the natural ecosystems from the various land
uses, the loss of natural ecosystems, the exhaustive fishery, the removal of fauna, due to
noise pollution or deforestation;
● exhaustion of available quantity of aquatic potential due to the abrupt and increased
consumption combined with the reduction of permeability of grounds [19].
