Summary
Tourism on Ilha Grande, Brazil, has rapidly expanded since the 1980s, leading to significant socioenvironmental impacts. The study highlights a mismatch between increasing tourist numbers and the island's infrastructure capacity, resulting in negative environmental consequences. Additionally, it identifies limited environmental education, low community organization among locals, and cultural clashes due to interactions with tourists. The research suggests that empowering local communities could mitigate these issues by involving them in infrastructure development, environmental education, and cross-cultural engagement while preserving their authenticity.
