Banff, Alberta
Canada is enjoying a tourism boom, but at the expense of some of its most beautiful scenery, according to Responsible Travel. “Visitor numbers in Banff National Park soar during high summer, and the park gets millions of visitors a year, causing stress to local wildlife,” Francis says.
“Earlier this summer a bear lashed out at a hiker while fleeing crowds of tourists at Lake Louise.” Canada’s parks agency has revealed no plans to limit the number of visitors, despite sold-out campsites, and people camping illegally beside Moraine Lake, he added.
