Efforts have been made to compare the current research and development situation in Australia with some overseas countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
While many documents reveal that Australia has been experiencing an increasingly high level of recreation and tourism use in its environments, only limited studies of environmental impacts of recreation and tourism have been published.
Compared with other developed countries, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States, Australia lags behind in undertaking research in this area.
The results of these limited studies and some observations indicate that the most common recreational and tourist activities (such as bush walking, camping, horse-riding) can, if not well managed, adversely affect the values of Australian natural and semi-natural resources.
Overall, they can affect the vegetation and other recreational sites physically and biologically.
