The effects of tourism on the living environment can be beneficially considered in three main groups:
- Those associated with transportation and travel.
- Those who are in contact with the place of residence and accommodation.
- Those that are related to recreational activities.
In itself, significant physical and biological effects on the environment are summarized in each of the groups in Tables 1 to 3. In addition to these primary effects, a high level of secondary effects can also occur as a result of nature tourism. As a clear example, many protected areas are fragmented by roads built for access to services such as firefighting, garbage collection, firewood, etc., or by roads that date back to before the protected area was established. These routes provide access for vehicles and individuals, even if they are not officially available to the public. Such uncontrolled access is significant, especially in remote areas, which usually have very few foresters for proper monitoring. The constant use of these roads by vehicles causes soil erosion and compaction, which prevents the plants from regrowing and increases fungal diseases and the possibility of fire. In some cases, erosion as an uncontrolled threat as a result of vehicle traffic can lead to impassable roads for ambulances. As roads, for example, they will no longer be accessible to firefighters.
