Physical features or world resources
More then 70% of the planets surface is covered by oceans - almost
no touristic usage
More then 70% of the land surface is covered by mountains - limited
touristic usage
Most intensively used areas for tourism are the coastlines of
the ocean - competing with other uses
Landscape features (lakes, forests) and cities receive high numbers
of tourists especially in temperate climates
Tourism can be described as a 300 years-conquest of all physical
features of the planet, which has by now more or
less ended: All land and even the orbit around earth
has been visited and is open to tourists, only the
deep sea remains to be conquered (with preparations
already under way) by tourism.
