Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in international tourism. Some people think that tourism is beneficial for local communities and should be encouraged. To what extent do you agree or disagree ?

Due to a remarkable increase in global

tourism

, it is believed by some people that foreign

tourism

brings positive impacts on local people and

thus

ought to be supported. In my opinion, international visitors should not be promoted owing to a

of problematic issues related to

leads to the larger amount of air, soil and water pollution.

Furthermore

, if several landmarks are bustling, natural resources will be

which

Finally

, global tourists have a detrimental impact on traditional customs and indigenous practices of host countries since foreign

because of leading to unsustainable economic growth, having negative impacts on the local environment, and causing friction between locals and tourists.
