The right to water constitutes one of the most fundamental human rights. Yet for local communities in many countries, this right is being undermined in the name of tourism. While tourists can enjoy several showers a day, swimming pools, golf courses and lush landscaped gardens, neighbouring communities often face severe water shortages. This can exacerbate already extreme conditions of hardship and poverty.
Despite this, after throurough research, nothing seems to be getting done, beside research to help the matter. Granted, there are charities helping thirst and water troubles in Africa, but not the places that are suffering for tourim. Nothing at all is being done, and it's due to selfish showers in hotels.
