Sustainable Tourism in Antarctica: A Case Study of Tourism’s Impact on the Ecosystem of Antarctica
With the development of technology and infrastructure and increasing interest in the polar areas, Antarctic tourism has grown fast in recent years. Antarctica is inevitably facing more difficult and complicated challenges; therefore, some scholars and researchers have a pessimistic view on such rapi...
