Tourism is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue to many countries, but its disadvantages should not be overlooked. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is commonly seen that revenue from tourism account for the biggest parts of total amount in a country per year. However, some people say that tourism more have drawbacks than benefits. I strongly agree with this opinion as I think that drawbacks of tourism are greater than benefits of it.
First of all, visit of tourists are likely to ruin the natural environment. These days, government and many local institutions aim to money from travelers so that they attract tourism industries in various of fields like accommodation, lesiure sports and so on. In addition, they build the facilities for tourists in forest or in front of sea even on the top of a mountain in order to give a nice view. Due to this excessive construction, natural areas as well as wildlife habitat spoil and destroy. Moreover, the garbage throwed from travelers lead to contaminate. For example, a village in the Philippines, the region experienced to close during a few months because, visitors induced a substantial amount of rubbish.
Secondly, the influx of visitors occurs negative effect to a local. In many countries, there are a lot of special culture like custom and eating habit. People who inhabit the local should protect their own culture through a continuous attention. However, if travelers who have their countries’ culture are more and more increase to government or local companies’ profit, residents lose local tradition or habit. Furthermore, a great deal of wear and tear on cultural heritage owing to vandalism and graffiti on cultural facilities.
In conclusion, tourism drive a local or country at risk. Thus, it should not be a major source of income.
