Tourism and Environment

This document discusses the negative environmental impacts of tourism on holy places and pilgrimage centers in India. Large numbers of visitors lead to problems like overcrowding, air and noise pollution, and improper waste management. Specifically, about 800 million tons of flower waste is thrown into local water bodies from temples each year. There is also no proper management of general garbage, which is often dumped in rivers. Potential solutions proposed include appointing local workers for daily cleaning, providing more sanitation facilities, implementing strict anti-littering rules, and designing an app for tourists to report environmental issues.
