“Effects of Tourism on Southeast Asia” examines the promises and pitfalls of tourism across the region. By weighing its economic contributions against challenges like overtourism and the erosion of cultural authenticity, the presentation offers a balanced view of tourism’s complex impact. Ultimately, the project urges young activists and audiences to consider how cultural heritage and the environment can be safeguarded while still welcoming the benefits of tourism. What does sustainable tourism look like in practice, and how can Southeast Asia pursue growth without losing its identity?
