Fishing Tourism Science bases Fishing-disrupts the food chain. Seal and penguin numbers would decline. Can stress the wildlife. 99% of Antarctica is ice, so tourists are all using the remaining land for their activities – climbing, walking. Camping. Solution Solution Infrastructure being built – roads, runways and fuel storage. Solution Read the information below and make notes of some of the possible solutions. Visitors to Antarctica want to see penguins, seals and whales in their natural habitat and they want to go to the most picturesque places. They also go to enjoy skiing, walking, climbing and kayaking. Any visitors must now have a permit to step foot on the continent. There are areas called ‘Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) where the wildlife and landscape is protected – visitors are not allowed to enter these sites. Fishing is not banned but fishing boats have to report how much they have caught so that their impact can be assessed. There are strict regulations that scientific bases have, in order to create as little waste as possible to prevent pollution. Sewage and food waste is treated and turned to sludge which is then put into an incinerator (a waste burner).

Quiet Lively Few facilities for tourists Busy Peaceful Mass of hotels Fishing village Over-developed Undeveloped Bars/hotels/clubs Remember the Butler model? Butler’s idea was that most tourist resorts go through a six stage cycle of tourism. He thought that most tourist resorts start on a very small scale and got bigger and bigger until stagnation occurs (becomes inactive). Thinking about Benidorm, can you put the six stages in the correct order on the Butler model above? Spain develops the area, advertises it as a holiday destination. It becomes well-known and popular with tourists. Benidorm is a fishing village with unspoilt, sandy beaches. Visitors stop going because it is busy and overcrowded. Facilities become run down. Spain must decided whether to REJUVENATE or let it go into DECLINE. Local people start to realise that they can make money from tourism and provide facilities for the visitors. Government choose to rejuvenate the resort with new attractions like water parks and theme parks. If the government chose to let it decline the shops and bars would close down and tourists would no longer want to come.

Impact of tourism on Peru Underline key information about the human impact of tourism on Aguas Calientes. Machu Picchu in Peru has 500,000 visitors every year. In the valley below is the tourist town called Aguas Calientes. Because there are so many tourists coming to the area, the town has been over-developed. Hotels have been built on steep hillsides and the forests have been removed to make more land for building. However heavy rainfall has caused landslides which have killed people and destroyed homes. The trees would have soaked up the rainwater and the roots would have held the hillsides together. Around the mountains, large amounts of litter can be seen and rubbish is dumped into the Urubamba river which is used as a water source by people.

The gap between rich and poor countries is widening – this is called the ‘development gap.’ How do we measure development? Development was measured using GNI (Gross National Income) – adding together all the money earned and dividing by the total number of people living in the country. This is not a good method because most of the population could be living in poverty while most of the wealth is with a few people. Human Development Indicators (HDIs) are a better method – using a combination of life expectancy, adult literacy and income you can spend. It is ranked between 0-1. The closer to 1, the more developed the country.
