Antarctica belongs to the people of the world. In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, the entire continent is formally designated “a natural reserve, devoted to peace and science”.
Antarctica's remoteness and isolation offer science a unique opportunity to understand our world. Part of Antarctica's value as a natural laboratory lies in the fact that its communities of animals and plants consist of only a few species living in simple relationships. This makes the Antarctic a perfect place to study how ecosystems work. However, more and more people are travelling to the continent, most of them on ships. Scientific evidence has shown that there is a direct link between numbers of people visiting a remote area and the numbers of non-native species introduced into both marine and terrestrial ecosystems in Antarctica. According to Antarctic experts it is crucial that important new measures be taken to protect Antarctica, “the world's last great wilderness,” from invasive non-native species. It is of vital importance that scientists identify which areas of Antarctica are most vulnerable. Scientists and policy makers insist that vessels exchange any ballast water before arriving in Antarctic waters. It is imperative that a code of conduct for land-based activities be developed. All visitors, including tourists and scientists, are expected to follow a set of standards.
Commercial Antarctic tourism dates back to the late 1960s and there has been rapid growth since the late 1980s. This has led to a wide range of tourist and adventure activities. The International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators established in 1991 demands that tourist companies promote safe and environmentally responsible private-sector travel to the Antarctic.
