 Pollution
Tourist transportation contribute to severe local air
pollution in remote areas like Ajanta and Ellora
temples.

In areas with high concentrations of tourist activities

and mountain areas of the Himalayas and Darjeeling,
trekking tourists generate a great deal of waste.

Tourists on expedition leave behind their garbage,

oxygen cylinders and even camping equipment.

Sewage runoff - serious damage to coral reefs

Examples : coastal areas of Goa,
Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, etc.
