Why is the term 'honeypot' somtimes used in connection with national parks? |
A Honeypot is a small area which attracts large numbers of visitors, e.g. Lulworth Cove in Dorset. Most have beautiful scenery or historic importance. There are many positive and negative attributes of honeypots. Positive attributes could be that it brings money to the town, provides jobs, and makes the town famous. Negative attributes could be that the town suffers from overcrowding, everything in the town becomes expensive, the beautiful area becomes spoilt, lots of litter is dropped, traffic congestion, pollution and footpath erosion. A honeypot, especially those in national parks, can cause conflict between people with different views. Some argue that tourists are destroying the town, and others say that they are building it up. Examples of honeypot sites near where I live, in south-west London, are Hampton Court Palace and Kew Gardens
