The literature on the carrying capacity distinguishes between biological or ecological carrying capacity is the maximum population of a species that can be supported by a habitat area without damaging the area reducing its future capacity to support the species. In relation to the concept of the sustainability, the growth limits and carrying capacity of the destination including physical impact on the area, both from the environmental and experiential point of view must be considered.
