 Tourism Activities-a Catalyst for Changes in the EnvironmentTodorka Toncheva ()
Ikonomiceski i Sotsialni Alternativi, 2014, issue 4, 144-152 Abstract: Tourism, as so many other human activities, depends on the natural environment, as it gets its basic resources, without which it could not be developed. The natural environment provides water, energy, building resources, mineral resources, food, flora, fauna, landscapes, etc. – resourceswhich themselves generate, create tourism or are fundamental for its development and maintenance of a high level.At the same time the environment is a physical basis of tourism and is the successor of all pollutants (gases, residual water, wastes from different materials) that the tourism industry creates. When tourism activities are developed, ignoring the environment, you can run a process in which environmental factors become limiting factors. That, which refers to all types of tourism, is mostly true for the environmental (natural) and rural tourism. Tourists who practice these types of tourism could be considered consumers of the environment, natural resources and therefore they have high demands for quality and affordability.
