Tourism does have its downside and the major impact is seen on the environment. The use of various modes of travel and transport used by the tourists causes all types of pollution.

It is observed that there is more litter at a tourist destination and it may lead to soil or land pollution if that waste is not disposed off properly.

Tourists litter the tourist places as some of them feel that one plastic bag or bottle or a wrapper they throw doesn’t make a difference. Also, some tourists feel that it is the government’s or the local people’s responsibility to keep the city clean. Sometimes there may not be good waste disposal facilities provided by the local government.
