Summary/Abstract: Various activities in the tourism sector, especially transportation, have a negative impact on the atmospheric complex. The paper aims to research tourism's impact on global carbon dioxide emissions, the generation of photochemical smog, and noise and light pollution. Various tourism industry activities have been identified, as well as tourist transport factors on which the intensity of air pollution depends. To demonstrate the harmful effects, statistical indicators and other results of modern scientific research were used, including the consequences of pollution on the living world. The paper provides current knowledge in the field, highlighting the risks of mass tourism, and the global need for more rational planning of sustainable tourism development.
