Mass Tourism

Mass tourism refers to the phenomenon where large numbers of people travel to the same destination simultaneously. This often occurs at popular attractions, resorts, and cities. While mass tourism can boost local economies through increased revenue and job creation, it can also lead to overcrowding, environmental degradation, and cultural erosion. Destinations may struggle to accommodate the influx, affecting both visitors' experiences and local residents' quality of life. Sustainable tourism aims to mitigate these issues by promoting responsible travel practices that benefit both tourists and host communities.
