Abstract

Among the many activities man contributes to environmental damage are tourism activities, carried out irrationally and uncontrolled, in the land. Unlike other negative impacts on the environment of some activities such as agricultural ones – whose effects can be, hopefully, rather limited – tourism can contribute significantly not only to stop the degradation of the natural landscape, but also to protect and conserve the environment by adopting specific, efficient regulations.
