International trips are becoming cheaper and counties open their doors for more and more travellers. I believe that this travel boom has more benefits than disadvantages. There are many advantages, for instance, tourism can lead to such consequences as land clearing, but there are also disadvantages in the mentioned trend and they play a significant role, for instance, the costs and risks have increased, socio-economic and cultural conditions are also changing. In my opinion, the most important advantage is that the boom in the travel industry led to the emergence of millions of new jobs and an increase in economic prosperity in many regions around the world.
