摘要:The tourism industry has a dual relationship with the environment but has for many years claimed to be a “smokeless industry”. In fact,accommodation facilities interact with their environments during every stage of their life cycle,often negatively. Resorts are frequently developed in pristine and fragile ecosystems with little or no consideration for the local natural or cultural environment. Many of the services offered by these establishments require the consumption of substantial quantities of energy,water and non-durable products. The resource-use efficiency of the many end-users in such facilities is frequently low,and the resulting environmental impacts are of significant magnitude.
