Attend Aardvark Writing?
Learn This! Written Online Japanese Adult ESL student that lives in Tokyo Japan 11/29/2020 Title: The Challenge to pursue sustainable tourism in the COVID-19 Era Before COVID 19 lockdowns began in March of 2020, global tourism had been increasingly accessible. In fact, over-tourism was surely becoming a growing concern for many nations around the Globe. For instance, the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia with a population of 1 million, is well known as a UNESCO Heritage site that was suffering from extreme over-crowding of tourists before the COVID 19 outbreak. It is well known that Widespread Tourism has caused severe, irreparable damage to Historic sites strained infrastructure and disgruntled the locals. These historic sites are not alone in feeling the negative impact that tourism can bring to historic sites and the natural world. Another example is in Canada, Banff National Park which also experienced a 28% increase in visitors from 2013-2018. As a result at Banff, there was serious traffic congestion, crammed hiking trails and major disruption to delicate ecosystems that supported a diversity of life. Although unintended, COVID-19 played an important role to shut down the global tourism industry and perhaps ironically, gave wildlife, the local environment and local people a much needed break from the crush of tourist visiting the area.
