deforestation
83
Transport by air, road, and rail is continuously increasing in response to the rising number of tourists and their greater mobility.
Air pollution
84
To give an indication, the ICAO reported that the number of international air passengers worldwide rose from 88 million in 1972 to 344 million in 1994.
One consequence of this increase in air transport is that tourism now accounts for more than 60% of air travel and is therefore responsible for an important share of air emissions.
