A huge variety of venues depend on tourism due to the number of revenue it provides. Nevertheless, some issues can appear, if this business will not be adjusted at the appropriate time.
ReplyDeleteStarting with the advantages of tourism, I would like to assume that they far outweigh the disadvantages. Firstly, it is closely connected with the economy, especially when it is a world wide known place. Lots of people of different nationalities come to other countries daily to pay and see something famous. Secondly, it is a good source of development for new jobs that are in demand among tourists. A particularly good example here is the infrastructure of restaurants, hotels and tour guides that became very common and profitable.
But nothing in the world is perfect. Here we can also see some problems which have become quite serious. For instance, it is destruction of tourist destinations, development of illegal economic activities, overpopulation. A vast amount of visitors may adversely affect the environment and damage ancient buildings. Additionally, do not forget the political problems that influence the mentality of the country and criminal activities that boil down to petty theft and fraud notably in overcrowded places.
To summarise, my own view of matter is that even though there are a considerable number of drawbacks, I still believe that tourism is one of the most awesome things to do in life. Furthermore, as I mentioned before, it has an extremely positive impact on the country's economy and provides a large number of new jobs for the local people.

On the other hand, industry such as tourism can give drawbacks. From my own experience, I can say that foreign tourists can strongly impact on the area of the provincial. The biggest disadvantage is pollution that is stayed after numerous visits of tourists. Another disadvantage is cultural “battles” between residents and visitors, which are able to give difficulties for authority of the provincial.
