Too Much Tourism?

Synopsis: Examines how tourism affects a community, what its economic benefits are, what damage it can do, and whether tourism can be managed to minimise the problems, using the Lake District as a case study. Looks at problems of overdevelopment, the controversy over power boats on Lake Windermere, heavy road traffic and the possibility of overdependence on tourism.
