Environment Impacts of Tourism

The Exxon and BP oil spills where the two worst oil spills on record in the world. The effect it had on the environment and the industry as a whole still has ramifications today. Because of these spills, we saw the coast of the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico damaged and still affected today. These businesses should have the responsibility to help the environment and the businesses impacted by the oil spillage. These two million dollar businesses should have the responsibility to fix all the damages and should supplement the tourism industry that sits on the water because of the turmoil they caused. These two oil companies owe everything to the planet because that’s where they make there money from and they should protect the investment they have within our planet. I do not believe that everything is being done to minimize the probability because although there is all these EPA regulations these bigger companies can pay or hide things that smaller companies cannot. We can hold these businesses more accountable by setting more regulations on them and taking more actions towards them as well. By people coming together we can take a stand against big oil business, and make sure they are meeting regulations.
