Tourism and stakeholder conflict

Answer

A place with harsh, limiting conditions (very hot, cold, dry or high) and **fragile** ecosystems that recover slowly.

Answer

Any group with an interest in how a place is used — locals/indigenous people, governments, TNCs, tourists, conservationists.

Answer

When different groups want **incompatible** things from the same place (e.g. mining vs protecting wildlife).

Answer

The number of visitors a fragile place can take **before it is damaged**.

Answer

The share of tourist spending that **leaves** the local area (to foreign tour firms/TNCs) instead of benefiting locals.

Answer

When a state asserts control over valuable resources (minerals, water), often clashing with other countries or TNCs.

Answer

**Opportunity** = a benefit (income, jobs, awareness); **challenge** = a cost/pressure (damage, scarce water used, cultural change).

Answer

Their ecosystems are **fragile and slow to recover** — desert crust, tundra and glaciers take decades to heal.

Answer

Driest desert; tourism + **copper/lithium mines** compete for scarce water with indigenous Atacameno communities and wetlands.

Answer

Oil, gas and minerals + cruise/wildlife tourism; drilling disturbs caribou and tundra, splits indigenous Inupiat, and rival nations claim the seabed.

Answer

No residents, so conflict is **tourists/operators vs conservationists**; growing cruise tourism risks pristine wilderness protected by the Antarctic Treaty.

Answer

Named stakeholders + named places at **different scales**, competing viewpoints, a weighing of **relative power**, and a justified judgement.
