IB Geography E.4 Managing Tourism and Sport for the Future Key Definitions

Definition

Diaspora Tourism

Diaspora tourism involves individuals traveling to their ancestral homelands.

Definition

Eco-tourism

Eco-tourism focuses on sustainable travel to natural areas.

Definition

Over-Tourism

Over-tourism occurs when the number of visitors exceeds a destinations carrying capacity to manage them sustainably, leading to negative impacts on the environment, local communities, and the tourism experience itself.

There are three main types of carrying capacity:

Physical Carrying Capacity: The measure of absolute space, for example the number of spaces within a car park, number of hotel rooms
Environmental Carrying Capacity: The level of use that an environment can sustain before long-term environmental damage occurs
Perceptual Carrying Capacity: The level of crowding that a tourist (or local community) tolerates before deciding the location is too full

Definition

Sustainable Tourism

Sustainable tourism is a form of travel that minimizes negative impacts on the environment and local cultures while maximizing economic benefits for host communities.
