What are some of South Asia's natural resources?

What can you do about tourists using natural resources?

• Answer:

  Tourists pollute waterways and oceans, they damage the environment. What we can do about it: By governments putting restrictions on holiday resorts and developers, they can prevent resorts being built on wildlife habitats, and also close down or limit the size of resorts already built on wildlife habitats. There must be no pollution into waterways and oceans. Garbage and sewage must be collected and recycled as much as possible. Tourist movements into natural areas must be limited so the numbers don't do any damage to the environment. Building must blend into the natural environment. There must be no illegal deforestation (eg, cutting down rain-forests to build a golf course). New resorts and gardens must not put too great a demand on water and other natural resources. By governments putting restrictions on holiday resorts and developers, they can prevent resorts being built on wildlife habitats, and also close down or limit the size of resorts already built on wildlife habitats. You can't stop tourists from using natural resources. Trying to do that will end your tourist industry on the spot. People are going to use resources no matter where they are. What you want to do is make accommodations for tourists as green as possible while maintaining enough comfort for tourists to enjoy their stay. Make sure that hotels are using the most energy efficient products, and are built to minimize energy waste. Transportation systems should do the same.
