Among the most recent proposals to expand tourism in world heritage sites, something that we have talked a fair amount in this class are helicopter canyoning and cabins in parts of tasmania that are not easily accessible by foot or land transport. The minister for parks and heritage has said that he wants to make tasmania the tourism capital of the world, which, in this case, means going into areas that have historically been closed off to tourist development. What does everyone think about this? Some of the concerns that have been brought of relate to waste resulting from tourist activities. What are some of the other issues that everyone forsees if these plans start to materialize, even if carried out very conservatively?

Helicopter tours would be great in that you avoid damage to the environment from people. However, CO2 emissions are something to keep in mind.
