I’m not qualified to speak on the birds, but I do think most tourism is just consumerism in a different location. I think the negative impact varies so much person to person and trip to trip, but especially with airplane emissions, I think modern tourism is a problem.

The brainwashing is real. I often find myself thinking "I need to buy something from the gift shop to remember this moment," but then I'm like, "what the fuck is wrong with me?! I took pictures!"
