Leisure travel is more widespread and accessible than ever before, but the world faces the growing problem of its unintended consequences. The desire to explore the globe has led to an increase in tourism, with billions of individuals traveling to various destinations, fueling economic growth and infrastructure development. However, it has brought forth many challenges that demand our attention, including the unsustainable consumption of energy, environmental degradation, climate change, and the excessive cost of maintaining tourist hotspots. The high influx of visitors to many destinations has left more than just a negative imprint upon nature, it has also disrupted the daily lives and livelihoods of residents.
