The risk of promoting protected areas to tourists is mostly pollution of common foods and beverages, disturbances in the wildlife, and possible destruction of the landscape. Countries may gain monetary value and global attention from tourism.

They can gain lots of many. For some countries this money is very needed for a states (or a state like thing) local economy. They also can get lots of money to protect said land. The risck is destruction of already fragile ecosytems due to foot traffic.

If protected areas are promoted internationally, more people will be drawn to those areas that aren't used to the culture there. They might knowingly or unknowingly disrespect the area or ruin it somehow idk tourists kinda suck sometimes. They could gain money from more people visiting.

They risk exposing their protected areas to tourists, and potential damage. However, they can also help educate tourists and promote their cultural areas.

Tourists could pollute, damage, and otherwise harm said protected sites. However the draw of tourism money is quite big

They risks are by potentionally tourist harming both lands and wildlife. They could harm the land if it is sacred to those people. They help economically more business have more service and local tourist companies can gain money as well. They might not want to put it under international status because most local businesses want to make profit as well.

Tourists are not raised in the same culture, and they are not raised to respect the same things. but money

Some tourists might want to go find it and mess them up. They can gain more tourism and money. They might not want international attention to that area as they might find it a sacred place.

Those areas may get polluted much more since there will be more people from all over. They would gain much more money.They might not want it under international protection so they can make their own rules and follow their own guidelines.

Tourists are usually messy and drop a lot of trash, and they might destroy valuable historical sites. But at the same time, Tourism is a huge source of revenue across the board

A proposed risk is the pollution that tourists bring, but those tourists also bring a bunch of money! So that’s good

Tourists could bring a lot of moneys that can help the area but they can also bring pollution. I don't really know why they would want to be internationally protected status. Maybe because then it draws more attention and exploitation to that area.

The more Tourists the more risk of that protected area getting polluted or trampled on. Or the regulations could be too much or too little for the place to handle.

countries can gain money from tourists, and improve their parks with it. It can also make it so that people from the same country are more likely to visit it as well due to advertisement. on the other hand there might be people who don't want it to happen and protest it.

Some countries don't want to be prohibited from extracting resources from areas. Tourists can be disrespectful to local culture or the landscape itself (carving names into coral). Leave a Reply. |
