Today more and more tourists are visiting places where conditions are difficult, such as Sahara desert or the Antarctic. What are the benefits and disadvantages for tourists who visit such places?

The technological advances that have taken place in the

last

two centuries have made the World a global village. People seamlessly communicate with their friends and colleagues on the other side of the planet and it hardly takes less than 24 hours to reach any part of the World.

Such

is the growth in telecommunication and transportation industries. With the range of options available

people today, everybody wants to maximize his or her experience in

life

, especially through travel.

This

explains why more and more people are heading to exotic locations like Sahara desert and Antarctic.

Firstly

, I will explain the benefits of travel to places with a harsh environment. The Tourism industry has not only improved access to famous places like Vatican City, London or Paris, but

also

opened up the gates to places like

the Sahara

and Antarctic, where conditions are pretty difficult and were previously beyond the reach of normal travellers. More and more tourists

are now preferring

to go to

such

places primarily seeking thrill and adventure. The primary benefit for people who travel to

such

exotic locations is the exposure to something brand new. Many visitors, after

such

trips, claim that the trip has completely changed their outlook on

life

and that they see things from a different perspective now.

For example

, for an individual who has led all his

life

in the safety of the concrete jungle throughout his

life

, a visit to the deep jungles of

without fire or food or bathroom, can enlighten him on the various comforts that he is taking for granted.

help in improving the creative ability of people.

On the other hand

, not many people can claim having enjoyed a beautiful experience that they can treasure for

life

. Many face injuries, even death, in

such

harsh climates.

For instance

, a frost bite from Antarctic can

last

for several months before healing completely. In

such

cases, the

place.

and emergency services may be very minimal to none in these locations.

Also

, with the growing crowd to remote places on the Earth, the environment and fragile ecosystem at these locations face a threat.

For example

, at Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the World, volunteers had to conduct an environmental

clean-up

a very large profit

drive recently to clear the plastic products left behind by the large number of tourists. If

such

places lose their nature, the future generations will not have access to them going forward. In conclusion, while there are different benefits like adventure and retreat from visiting places like Sahara desert or

Antarctic

Suggestion

the Antarctic

or Mount Everest, people should consider the risk that they are taking for themselves and for the environment in the process. Governments and public should strive to achieve a balance between accessing and protecting the ethos of these places.
