How can the negative impacts of tourism on the UK be reduced?

While it is impossible to stop all the negative aspects of tourism, one can at least curtail them.  First, providing tourists with ample places to get rid of their trash in public places is a good way to reduce litter.  Also, having security in public places helps ensure that the litter finds its proper place.  Certain sites, such as Buckingham Palace or Parliament, should (and do) have visiting hours for tourists.  The government can partner with tour groups in order to provide tour buses from which to see Britain.  This cuts down on foot traffic and the amount of foreigners getting lost.  While imposing a small tax on visitors may help pay for any damage caused by a large group of people coming to its cities, Britain should be careful because it has to compete with other tourist destinations in Europe.  During certain times of the year, Britain will always be crowded with tourists. This should be considered a good thing, as tourism dollars are a source of income for the small businesses of the United Kingdom.
