International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. What is your opinion about this issue?

Many people are considering travelling as one of the things to do in their bucket lists, and

as a result

international travel has been on the increase lately.

This

has had various advantages and disadvantages to the local countries and communities. In my opinion, an influx of tourists does more good than harm to the local citizens for the following reasons.

Firstly

, more foreigners travelling to a region would mean more circulation of money.

In other words

, foreigners will be purchasing things

such

as food, clothes, and souve

niers whic

something of sentimental value

souvenirs

souvenir

h will ultimately benefit the local traders and shop owners in the form of higher profits. One of my uncles,

for example

, who owns a boutique, earns double the profits in December since it is the holiday season when compared to off-season months like in March.

This

is why, I strongly believe that tourism is a great opportunity for the local companies and citizens.

Secondly

, a region's people get to meet people from all over the world in the name of tourism. To be specific, natives can learn and gain awareness about things like another

country

's language, food and national attire through tourists. One of my best friends,

for example

, is from Scandanavia whom had I met in a local coffee shop when she was visiting my home state. I learnt various things about Scandanavia, and it was so fascinating that I have decided to visit the

country

next

month during my winter holidays. In my opinion, tourists teach so many things through their visit that can leave a positive long lasting impact in the natives' lives. In conclusion, it is my firm belief that travellers income to a

country

is more advantageous to the local community. They bring in more trade and t

hereby, mor

Accept comma addition

and, thereby

e earnings for the local businesses.

In addition

to it, local people

also

get the opportunity to learn about the visitor's

country

during their visit.
