What are good things about having tourism in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Antarctica is not a tourist destination in the traditional sense. It has no tourist facilities, hotels or airports. A few airlines fly over Antarctica to show you the sights, then fly back to where they came from without landing. At least one company runs mountain climbing expeditions, but they make it clear that you need to be experienced and capable and fit enough to endure the rigours or polar mountaineering. Unless you are engaged in some sort of research with a large government grant, you really have no business being there.

Answer 2

Some negative effects of tourism in Antarctica are chances of pollution, illegal killing of animals, and soil contamination. Other negative effects are discharge of sewage into the sea, and too much vehicular traffic on the ice. The positive effects of tourism includes beautiful sights, scientists discovering vital information about animals, and meeting people from different cultures.

Government and non-government groups must obtain environmental authorisation based on an environmental impact assessment before they can venture to the Antarctic.

Tourist flights and cruises are popular precisely because the continent is so clean. The scenery is spectacular and unlike anywhere else on Earth. However, as tourism increases, so does the possibility of damage to the environment. Those on adventure tours of walking must be very careful to wash their boots before stepping on the Antarctic, to avoid transmitting diseases and bacteria. They are discouraged from stepping onto the fragile vegetation, as it has been found that boot prints on Antarctic moss can literally last for decades.
