yes it should be banned. travel industry is hugely responsible and contributing to the problem of Global warming and as we today witness the trend ”Tourism of doom” one can clearly see how desperate are the tourists to walk or trample the last beautiful things on earth under their feet. i must add SELFISH.

@Sumitmahajan

Do you think it is because of the travelers that we are witnessing our favorite destinations in the endangered zone?

why do you think they are not? let me explain >> this is an excerpt from WASHINGTONPOST.COM answering your doubts>> ”Traveling in ever-higher numbers on a planet where virtually every new snowmobile, jumbo jet, cruise liner, Winnebago, hot tub and air-conditioned hotel ballroom draws power ultimately from oil, gas or coal. These fuels, once burned, add directly to the CO2 load threatening the very destinations people love to visit.”

I think tourism industry is responsible in selling the travel packages to places where ppl shouldn’t go anymore because beyond the obvious these climate-related changes will have a dire impact on many sectors of the travel and tourism business. So these selfish morons in the travel industry are only trying to cash in the opportunity before we say final goodbye to glaciers and snowlines. Go on ppl squash whatever is left…be the last one to see your loved destinations.

@Inspector
SELFISH that’s the word.

Surely this is an encroachment in areas which woefully is resulting against natural balance. And in tech era whatever we do with the help of technological advancement, adds fuel to the fire e.g. traveling by jet to see the icebergs contributes to global warming, which makes the icebergs melt faster than usual and irony becomes even graver when those who want to see these natural beauties before they finally disappear, unknowingly add to make it the thing of past. Poor chaps who talk too much about global warming and are in hurry because they fear that as long as they will reach the North Pole or Mount Kilimanjaro, ice will altogether be missing but don’t know that they are even a party in that natural filth.

Yup… things’re made worse by the people who make hue and cry against it… tourism industry, hotels , travel industry and frenzy to live in that supreme pleasure…huh making that extinct earlier for you and to the others to see again. and the shit that these travel agencies and the tourists do is an irreparable damage to the ‘mother nature’ whom about even Wordsworth once observed that the real mother can even betray… but mother nature takes every one in its lap, betrays none… but what the children are doing … don’t ask me to let you know.

It’s just the travel industry’s hyped marketing of these places. How many tour operators actually insist that the tourists stay in eco-friendly hotels as a part of the package they offer? If we cannot protect the place, we have no right to contribute to the destruction. If at all one has to visit the place, do so with the awareness of how much you could be actually contributing to the disaster.
