Photography is a profession that needs interesting subjects and scenic venues along with skills. Most wildlife photography consists of regional wildlife that is available in a given region. This makes it difficult to make the pictures look unique each time. As a result, photographers tend to visit the destinations and routes of migratory birds.
This helps the photographers provide a spectrum of birds that are not found and seen easily. This increases the number of travelers looking for bird-watching tours, especially the tours which comprise migratory birds due to their fascination and hence provides an extra range to the Migratory Birds Tourism market.

The declining bird population and their limited habitat are two major obstacles in migratory bird tourism. For a variety of reasons, including sport, recreation, and food, people have engaged in wildlife hunting, which has had catastrophic effects on the ecological balance.
While some nations have enacted laws that forbid or closely regulate hunting, others have not. Illegal acts undermine society, natural resources, and ultimately our entire survival in addition to decimating the avian population.
While hunters help preserve natural ecosystems when they hunt responsibly, they also see how illicit killings damage their image. In some countries, it is still socially acceptable to engage in criminal activity. This may drastically reduce the number of migratory birds, which makes it harder for enthusiasts to enjoy their majesty and elegance.
