A serious problem at beach resorts in the developing world is water pollution. This often occurs where a proper sewage system has not been installed for tourists, such as at hotels. If untreated water is thrown out into a river or sea then the effluent pollutes the water and even the ground water may be polluted. Some hotels have constructed their outfalls into the swimming areas by the beach, such as at Pattaya Beach Resort in Thailand, where the water became harmful from the adjacent hotel. Health problems can occur from litter, as well as vermin, pollution and visual pollution, if disposal of litter is not managed appropriately.

The air can also be polluted, this can occur from a number of reasons. A major cause is from the increased use of cars, used for the tourists. This can be made worse by the fact

From construction and deforestation, dust and dirt can be thrown up into the air, thus causing irritation to the skin and the respiratory system. Tourists and their vehicles can also cause noise pollution, which can reach levels, which can cause conflicts with the locals.

Deforestation can cause stress on the land, especially with the help of trampling for footpaths. Thus, soil erosion can occur causing destruction of other vegetation and even buildings in severe cases. These tend to occur where the tourism is unplanned and unmanaged, trampling can still occur if there are no footpaths and this can stunt or even kill plant growth. This also causes the destruction of habitats and so affecting the local population of wildlife. Mature trees have also been killed through salt production for hotels: On Mafia island, Tanzania saltwater is boiled to leave salt. However, large areas of trees have been killed from denudation.

Locals often get exasperated with visual pollution, which can occur from tourism. Large and ugly hotels can become a blot on the landscape and even advertising can become intrusive, in such a way for both the residents and the tourists. When Center Parcs proposed a new park at Puxton, it was immediately rejected, due to the fact that as a great dome, it would be an eyesore, as there would be no trees surrounding it, unlike at the park at Elveden Forest in Suffolk.

Dynamite fishing has also been a problem in this area, as this is
