Honeypots are frequently used by cities or countries to manage their tourism industry. The use of honeypots can protect fragile land away from major cities while satisfying tourists. One such example is the construction of local parks to prevent tourists from damaging more valuable ecosystems farther from their main destination. Honeypots have the added benefit of concentrating a large number of income-generating visitors in one place, thus developing that area, and in turn making the area more appealing to tourists.<ref>{{cite book |title=Recreational Tourism |last=Ryan |first=Chris |authorlink=Chris Ryan |coauthors= |year=1991 |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page=116 |pages=227 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=O74OAAAAQAAJ&dq=honeypot+tourism|accessdate=18 July 2009}}</ref> However, honeypots can suffer from problems of [[overcrowding]], including litter, crime, and strain on facilities and transport networks.<ref name=tiscali/>.
