Abstract
As the world becomes more aware of the environmental impacts of economic development, new industries are sought which generate income without degrading the environment. Tourism is grasped as just such a safe money-spinner, hut tourism in the Mediterranean has shown it has its own environmental hazards.
The desire for entertainment and diversion saw the construction of huge hippodromes which could accommodate up to 300 000 to cheer on horse and chariot races, and closed amphitheaters where shows and athletic contests could hold 50 000 enthralled.
