Scientific Fundamentals and European Institutional and Global Strategies, in the Tourism-Environment- Ambient Relationship

Abstract

This paper wants to make some theoretical remarks on the relationship between tourism and the environment, the positive influences of tourism on the environment, and negative influences of tourism on the environment, and the actions of protection and conservation of the environment and tourist potential. The importance of this reciprocal relationship is reflected in the positive conservation and tourism potential in the rehabilitation of the environment, but not negligible and destructive actions of some tourism activities such as excessive use of environmental elements (water, air, soil, etc..), for recreation and leisure, accompanied by an irrational, often brutal human on the environment and natural resources thereof. To this end, tourism must be in harmony with the environment, population, and culture in place, so that development is done in their profits and not their detriment. There is an imperative need to change the mentality: sustainable tourism, as a form of tourism of the future, must not repeat past errors, or apply actions to protect and conserve the environment, tourism will have a lot to gain.
