Tourism

Tourism ventures, e.g., scenic spots, restaurants, hotels, and associated infrastructure, e.g., roads, may be undertaken in receiving and spillover systems and may bolster socioeconomic sustainability, but potentially threaten environmental sustainability. Sending systems may also be affected, e.g., by loss of financial capital to the receiving system or by promoting environmental sustainability abroad while neglecting similar systems at home..
