Managing Tourism - Quotas & Tourism Hubs
Quotas and Tourism Hubs
Quotas and Tourism Hubs
Introducing quotas to a tourist destination, and designating certain areas as tourism hubs are both ways to manage tourism and reduce the negative impacts.


Quotas (limiting numbers)
Quotas (limiting numbers)
- E.g. Antarctica does not allow ships carrying more than 500 people to land.
- No more than 100 people may leave the ship at any given time.
- There can’t be 2 ships landing at the same place at the same time, so that environmental damage is limited.
- The island of St Helena in the South Atlantic has only one public flight a week which can take 76 passengers (some residents and some tourists) to limit tourist numbers.


Tourism hubs
Tourism hubs
- This is where a country blocks tourism from happening in most places but allows one location to be taken over by tourism (e.g. Benidorm in Spain).
- This means that the majority of the country will be left undamaged.
