“…For instance, it has been argued that mass tourism activities at the marine site of Scandola, Corsica mean that this UNESCO site is no longer an ecotourism destination due to the dire environmental consequences it has suffered, including on its flagship species. Similarly, this sensitive Mediterranean island's natural heritage has experienced negative environmental impacts (Monti et al, 2018). Tourism-related activity and dramatic ecological effects, such as trampling on beaches, have also contributed to the population crash of species such as sea turtles, which previously sustained breeding populations on Mediterranean islands (Davenport & Davenport, 2006).…”

A prerequisite for ecotourism development is the presence of natural environments, normally exhibited in protected areas, which serve as ecotourism venues. Little attention has been given to Mediterranean islands in terms of ecotourism. In this paper, nine islands in the central Mediterranean region were studied through a case study approach to investigate their potential as ecotourism destinations, taking into account the presence of protected areas and related aspects, including spatial dimensions and quality, to fulfil ecotourists. Larger islands with higher population densities were found to experience habitat fragmentation, and protected areas were thus in some cases relatively small and dispersed. In contrast, smaller, less populated islands were found to be more ideal ecotourism destinations due to limited anthropogenic impact and their capacity to fulfil the expectations of the 'true specialists', also known as 'hard ecotourists'. Quality of ecotourism venues was found to affect ecotourist satisfaction. Ideal ecotourism sites on heavily impacted islands were found on the island periphery, in coastal and marine locations, with marine ecotourism serving as the ideal ecotourism product on such islands.

With the rapid development of Internet information technology, e-commerce transactions are accepted and known by more and more people, and more and more attention is paid by major enterprises. This paper mainly studies the design and implementation of mass tourism data analysis API based on e-commerce platform. The software system of this paper adopts the method of black box testing, which basically covers the main business logic of each functional module. The class and method of task scheduling, monitoring alarm and API gateway service module are tested, which basically covers the logic of class method of these modules. The system performance test is mainly to test the system by recording test script by automatic test tool. In this paper, the system response speed, concurrency and stability index are tested by using the automatic test tool load runner. The data shows that when the number of API requests reaches 4200, there will be a certain number of requests failed to respond to processing. The results show that the system has achieved the design goals in advance and basically completed the requirements listed in the requirements.
