Question

which one of the following is not necessarily a reason for increased levels of tourism in recent decades?
○ increased environmental consciousness
○ leisure and recreation are now viewed as a basic human right
○ increased leisure time
○ increased urbanization
○ liberalization of international relations

Explanation:

Increased environmental consciousness might lead to more sustainable tourism but doesn't directly and necessarily cause an increase in the overall levels of tourism. Leisure being a human - right, more leisure time, urbanization (which can lead to more disposable income and desire for travel), and liberalization of international relations all directly contribute to increased tourism levels.

Answer:

increased environmental consciousness
