Over-reliance on (fossil fuel) tourism
"The tourism industry is extremely vulnerable to economic, social, and political changes in either the generating or host countries. Diversification in an economy is a sign of health. If a country, or region within a country, becomes dependent for its economic survival on one industry and that industry fails then the social consequences can be devastating. Overdependence on one or two industries is also often accompanied by underdevelopment within other sectors of the economy such as education, health, and the manufacturing and agricultural industries." >>
