Explain negative impacts on a honeypot as a result of tourism

This question is very similar to Q3 about conflicts. Again, we have used the Lake District as a good example.

  • Popular walking areas suffer from erosion.
  • Mountain bikes and horses spoil the landscape by churning up the grass into mud.
  • Speed boats give off noise pollution which annoys other boaters and tourists.
  • Cars cause traffic jams at popular times and make air pollution.
  • There are not enough parking spaces for cars so they have to park in the road and on grass.
  • Tourists park in front of farmers gates - blocking the farmers entrance.
