snow requires a large amount of water. The water supply is used in ponds and warehouses located in 
nearby areas. As a result, the ecosystem is disrupted and many negative situations occur.
Nearly 50% of traffic is associated with tourism activities. Air traffic is 2.5% of total carbon 
dioxide emissions. Tourism affects the heat generated by the atmosphere. The amount of carbon 
dioxide released by all transport vehicles is around 75 per cent. Gas emissions from tourism activities 
account for 4.95 percent of total emissions. Air transport plays a major role in creating greenhouse 
effects in the atmosphere. Gas driven by air transport is about 40 percent of global emissions from 
global tourism activities. While it was 594 million international passengers in 1996, it is expected to 
reach 1.6 billion by 2020. If no action is taken to reduce the emission, this increase will create 
significant environmental problems. 
The 5 percent increase in air traffic per year is outside the Kyoto summit. For this reason, airline 
companies and other related agencies have to take joint action. The use of solar energy at Vancouver 
and San Francisco has significantly reduced carbon dioxide content. An important step was taken by 
the use of gas-absorbing paints at the Melbourne airport. Carbon dioxide emissions have dropped by 
28 percent in 2007, while Air France's airline representatives have taken their actions and new 
technologies on Caribbean and Indian flights [7, p.107]. 
The elimination of harmful effects of tourism on ecology is one of the important tasks facing the 
modern tourism sector. From this perspective, the protection and protection of tourism resources is of 
great importance today. In the overall development of the country, the solution of this issue should 
take a leading position, learn the essence of ecological tourism and educate the society. 
Attractive landscape, fresh air, clean beaches, beautiful woods, ice springs - all this is considered 
to be a tourist attraction. With their protection, sustainable development of tourism can be ensured. 
Failure to undermine the culture and nature of countries during touristic travels is governed by the 
Global Tourism Code of Tourism approved by the World Tourism Organization for all mankind. The 
content is of recommendation character and accelerates the development of tourism in the event of its 
implementation. This code was adopted in 1999 at the World Tourism Organization General Assembly 
in San Diego. Tourist activity is a basic document for tourism, composed of 10 items that are useful 
for touristic countries and tourists. The main items of the document is consist of the impact of tourism 
on interpersonal understanding, the individual and collective aspects of tourism, the tourism as part of 
sustainable development, the use and enrichment of cultural heritage, tourism as an activity that 
enhances the well-being of countries and communities, commitments of partners in development of 
tourism, right of participation in tourism, freedom in tourism activity, rights of entrepreneurs in the 
tourism sector, and the application of global ethical laws in tourism. Tourist companies should 
familiarize tourists with tourist ethics in any country and inform them in advance. 
Studies show that diversity of products is used to eliminate the seasonal nature of tourism 
activities. Furthermore, diversification of tourism types in the elimination of employment problems for 
developing countries will stimulate the use of tourism potential. For this purpose, health, culture, 
jungle, yacht, rural and ecotourism come forward. Because of the higher human development rate in 
the developed countries, the older generation is more likely to dominate health and cultural tourism, 
while the middle-income countries prefer the types of tourism, such as yacht and entertainment. 
Leisure time tourism with cultural tourism leads to the protection of historical monuments and national 
wealth. Tourism, which began with the traditional form of 3-S (sea-sand-sun), has become a 3-E 
(exciting-educational-) shape in modern times. As a result, the range of tourist attractions includes 
yacht, golf, rafting, horseback riding, fauna and flora tours, rural tours, paragliding, diving tours, 
mountaineering, faith tourism, bird watching tours, cave, fashion, safari, waterfall, bike, religious 
places belonging to different religions and groups, shopping venues, paint balls, winter sports, 
nostalgic railroad trips, scenic and natural wonders, sightseeing tours have emerged. This diversity is 
increasing day by day. Resource-rich countries can increase their tourism revenues by increasing the 
range of tourism products. 
In parallel with the rapidly evolving growth trends in the tourism sector, the education of the 
participating people who has direct access to the sector (working in tourist companies) or indirect 
(transport, security, etc.) contact with the tourist need to be developed. 
The elimination of negative social side effects and the satisfaction of the local population in the 
development of the tourism sector are also crucial for long-term sustainable development. The
