New trends in the tourism industry will be determined by … environmental disaster.

People visit certain places because they are convinced that they will change and want to see such as are now. There is increased interest in the “attractions” such as threatened polar bears or endangered tropical forests.

Tourism of environmental disaster, started about two years ago, is about to become an important source of income to this sector.

More wealthy and concerned about the environment clients choose destinations which will allow them to see glaciers in the Antarctic, the snow of Kilimandzharo or the Australian coral barrier reef - all exposed to the danger of global warming.

Trips in Africa, called “life into the wild,” have increasing success.

Changes in the environment affect more and more the choice of destinations. People want to visit these places before they disappear.

Journeys to Antarctica and its glaciers are about to become a classic in the genre. Last season there were 46 000 tourists, twice more than five years ago.

Antarctica impresses with its immensity, remoteness, the purity and unique fauna - penguins, seals and whales.

The trend promises to continue in the same spirit, because the leading world economies are not achieving consensus on measures to prevent negative climate change on the planet.

This omission can be successful only for tour operators and souvenir shops on the ice continent.
