Without mentioning tourism.
We may not be quite the most invasive species, but we are the only one which introduces other invasive species (including molds, bacteria and viruses) everywhere. "It's in our DNA" - or at least in our seminal and œstral juices.
The photo is of Kotor, Montenegro, which my mother and I visited by bus in 1959, when it was a very quiet, small town in Yugoslavia, not far from the Albanian border. Almost at the beginning of the spoliation of the Adriatic, we had taken a ferry from Venice, via Split and Rijeka to Dubrovnik, where the few tourists were German. We had travelled to Venice via the Simplon Tunnel from Paris on a very tired Orient Express, which, I think, didn't chug any farther.
