 Tourists are also directly responsible for a great deal of environmental damage

inflicted on their host countries. From natural habitat loss, reduction in

biodiversity, over-exploited land and water resources, pollution (land and
marine) and coral reef damage, tourism places a great deal of stress on the
natural resources on which it depends.

 Jamaica's tourism product is dependent on the coral reefs and their associated ecosystems such
as seagrass beds and mangroves. These ecosystems are, however, threatened by natural
causes and human behaviour such as coastal pollution, rapid coastal development, over-fishing
and global warming.
 All parties involved (the citizens, the tourism industry and the visitors) have a vested interest in
the management of the environmental resource base and an obligation to do their part to support
this management. If the environment is degraded all parties stand to lose - visitors will fail to
come (or will be willing to pay less) and the countries will lose an important source of economic
benefit. In other words the environment will produce reduced economic, ecological, and amenity
benefits.
