Abstract: The large amount of money spent and the great number of travelers depicts the importance of tourism. Tourists travel to and from all areas around both hemispheres searching for a variety of experiences. Tourism industry has developed positively and has increased in different ways, regarding its type or scale. Therefore, tourists and tourism industry develop accordingly and frequently very fast, so as to change trends or other external factors. Tourism, therefore, is an industry of attracting visitors, taking care of their needs and meeting their expectations. The area of environmental ecology, however, is characterized by an attempt to solve many complicating environmental issues. Ecosystems and traditional villages, which are fragile and invaluable are affected by factors as the overexploitation and the misuse of natural resources, the lack of organized area planning, the insufficient urban waste management (uncontrolled urban waste disposal etc.) as well as the lack of respect in the marine ecology (pollution, fishing areas degradation etc).
