Abstract

In the post Second World War period and especially since the beginning of mass tourism in the 1960s, it has become clear that the relationship between tourism and the environment has become unbalanced. Tourism has become a major cause of environmental damage to the environment rather than a force for enhancement and protection in the past 50 years.
