Tourism can actually HELP the environment, in some cases. These include.

Tourism can cause 'anchoring' which is defined as local sea life attaching to man-made structures and thereby increasing coral reefs.

Tourism can turn an element of nature into a revenue-generating attraction...thus causing local communities to want to protect their valuable resource.

Raise awareness and appreciation for a natural area/attraction; therefore increasing the desire within people to save it.

Tax revenue can generate financial support for the preservation of delicate ecosystems.

Tourism is a comparatively 'cleaner' industry than others such as mining, factories, etc.

When tourism allows a government to receive tax-generated funding and raises the local standard of life, public money can finally go to beautification, revitalization, and protection of local environmental areas.
