Failure to uphold stringent ethical standards, prevent habitat degradation, and effectively manage potential over-tourism in sensitive ecosystems directly diminishes the long-term viability and appeal of destinations. When natural environments are compromised, wildlife populations decline, and the authenticity of animal encounters diminishes, directly deterring environmentally conscious travelers who seek genuine and impactful experiences.
