Thinking about tourism and the Anthropocene raises significant theoretical and practical issues with respect to the agency of tourism and dualities such as human: natural and debates as to whether humans and human systems are separate from or part of ‘natural’ systems. This is not just an academic debate as it frames understandings of the effects of individual and collective actions. However, the present chapter takes the position, undoubtedly not shared by all, that while such debates are integral to theorizations of the Anthropocene and understanding how biodiversity loss may be stemmed, the conscious decisions by human beings that lead to the loss of landscapes and the extinctions of other species demands an understanding of agency that still leads to a separation between the natural and the unnatural, if not humans and the other. Humans and their institutions have the conscious capacity to ‘do other’ and not trash the planet and cause the extinction of other species. Nature (the non-human world) as far as we know does not. Therefore, tourism certainly is a biophysical force. However, fundamentally it is a human or social one that is affected by and in turn affects the environment in which it occurs.
