Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: This essay is about the impacts of Mount Everest's mass tourism.
Mountaineering has developed into a breathtaking trend when it comes to adventure tourism. Obviously, there is no other mountain that is more important and unpredictable than Mount Everest. But mountaineering was not accessible to everyone until the 21st century. Over time the popularity, directly connected with the number of tourists, has drastically increased. In 2019 a record number of 381 people were counted while each climber is accompanied by a local guide. Nevertheless, the increasing number of tourists also requires more guides to provide an increased safety level during the entire journey up to the peak. Even if tourism has many advantages and is primarily important for an area's development, the consequences are more devastating than previously assumed.
In terms of tourism, benefits, and drawbacks are always present, directly affecting locals and tourists alike. Unfortunately, Mount Everest is characterized by mass tourism lately. Beautiful locations all over the world have become assembly points for crowds of selfie-taking travelers, elbowing away at one another. It might seem odd to liken an unbearable move in hazardous conditions to the world's most elevated peak with mass tourism, however, that is what the journey to the highest peak of Everest has turned into. But what was the cause that the area is suddenly marked by mass tourism?
