McKinsey & Company, Tourism brings prosperity but also challenges like overcrowding and environmental harm. As destinations face rising visitor numbers, careful planning becomes crucial. By assessing risks and balancing cultural preservation with economic benefits, destinations can thrive sustainably. It's about protecting heritage, managing growth, and enhancing visitor experiences responsibly. McKinsey's approach highlights these complexities, urging stakeholders to collaborate for long-term sustainability. Let's ensure tourism enriches both locals and visitors, respecting cultures and environments alike. This proactive strategy ensures destinations not only survive but flourish amid global travel demands, fostering a harmonious balance for all involved.

Tourism's impact is profound, bringing both opportunities and challenges.

Tourism often puts pressure on natural resources through over-consumption, often in places where resources are already scarce. Tourism puts enormous stress on local land use, and can lead to soil erosion, increased pollution, natural habitat loss, and more pressure on endangered species.
