Coastal Tourism
- "The main conceptual issue of coastal tourism which needs to be solved is the conflict between the benefits tourism provides for the economy as a whole and for the social environment it is operating in, and its heavy impact on the coastal physical environment in terms of urban sprawl, linear urbanisation, pressure on sensitive areas, the production of waste and the fragmentation of habitats, and the social environment, in terms of the loss of social and cultural identity and values." - excerpt from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) publication, Sustainable Coastal Tourism: An Integrated Planning and Management Approach.
