Answer 1

The Tragedy of the Commons refers to the overuse of common-pool resources by individuals not recognizing the cumulative impact of their use. A tourism example is the impact of the varied and growing use of a beach area by tourists and locals for recreation and businesses. Too much development, from unplanned snack shacks to restaurants and lodging facilities, can diminish the natural scenery and cleanliness of a waterfront area.

Answer 2

Three reasons why residents are motivated to develop community-based tourism are: 1. this type of tourism enables locals to develop their own businesses; 2. community-based tourism often celebrates and highlights local traditions and crafts; and 3. a community's common-pool natural resources can be protected for future generations through the development of community-based tourism.
