Visitors to Stonehenge
An effective way to study the impact of tourism is to focus upon a specific location that attracts many tourists. Such places where people ‘swarm’ to are sometimes called ‘honeypots’.
Honeypots can be natural features (e.g. Cheddar Gorge, Lake Windermere), historical attractions (e.g. Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey), cultural locations (e.g. Stratford-upon-Avon) or coastal resorts (e.g. Newquay, Tenby). They are often compact in size and therefore can be prone to overcrowding at peak times, such as on bank holidays and during school summer holidays. However, their restricted size can make them convenient to study.
