Some people say that tourism has many negative effects on the countries that people travel to. How true is the statement? What can tourists do to reduce the harmful effects of tourism on local cultures and environments?

The role of

tourism

in the world today is widely debated, with some claiming that it is bringing more harm than good to tourist regions. Personally, I totally agree with

this

assertion and I believe that some possible solutions could be taken to minimize the detrimental impacts of

such

activities on local environments. In my opinion, there are a number of potential negatives of

tourism

that should be seriously taken

pollution and the issue of tension during holiday seasons.

Firstly

, when large crowds of people visit untouched part of the world, their stay causes grave pollution for local societies.

For example

, we see

in the litter left at Nha Trang beaches in Vietnam, and in the damage to ecology caused by safari

in Africa.

Furthermore

, there are numerous examples of conflicts between tourists and local cultures, ranging from antisocial

tourism

actually leads to resentment and stressful experiences for either visitors or locals. Turning to possible remedies, one obvious step for every tourist would be to dump waste and litter more responsibly. By doing

, we could hopefully restore the originality of many hundreds of damaged beaches or forests.

Secondly

, attending in various nonprofit environmental campaigns or programs

For instance

should behave in an appropriate way and treat other people from all sorts of life with great respect.

This

will probably result in a better holiday experience for those who might concern. In conclusion, while there are some short term benefits to local areas and environments, the drawbacks seem to be dangerously immeasurable and a series of methods could be applied to reduce those harmful effects.
