"Reil G. Cruz has extensively explored how tourism affects the environment, local communities, and economies. His research indicates that while tourism can be a significant driver of economic growth, it can also lead to negative environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. The social impacts may include cultural dilution and a shift in community dynamics."
