Tourism is becoming increasingly important and a source of income to many countries, but its disadvantages shouldn't be overlooked . to what extent do you agree or disagree

Revenue generated by

tourism

is of no doubt important, as it can help to take care of some aspects of a

country

's budget.

Nevertheless

, it is needful to say that there are some other effects of

tourism

, which may not be so beneficial. There could an increase in the crime rate

as a result

of vacations activities.

Also

, the cost a

country

incurs to set up attraction centres when compared to the revenue it brings may not be so profitable. Any part of the world where excursionist troop in to visit has to make a heavy investment into

such

attractions in order to make them appealing to individuals. Major expenditure is usually embarked upon by the host to develop their monuments so that they can meet up with the necessary standards. A

country

's point of attraction may

initially

be crude; not having the ability to draw individuals to it. It would

therefore

be necessary that these points be developed to make them appealing. Many of these countries, may not have

such

funds, to give their attraction points the face lift needed so they borrow, thereby putting the nation into serious debt, which might take future generations to pay off.

Also

, after investing a huge amount of capital into

tourism

, there is the probability that it won't be as profitable as expected due to other factors which are beyond the nation's control leaving them with little or no return on investment. It is

also

worthy to note that

tourism

has a huge potential of increasing the crime rate in an economy.

First

of all, the credibility of a tourist cannot be completely ascertained.

For instance

, a thief who is trying to escape from his/her

country

of residence

as a result

of the atrocity he/she committed may go to another place under the pretence of vacation, and may continue to perpetuate crime where he/she is being hosted. Thereby causing harm to the

country

.

Also

,

such

foreigners are likely to have a negative influence on the natives, especially the ones with feeble minds, increasing number of criminals a

country

has to deal with. In conclusion, the cons of

tourism

as explained above are not what should be overlooked by any serious

country

.

Although

, it is argued that

tourism

is beneficial in terms of revenue that could be generated from it, the dangers of not putting a check on the negative effects it brings to a nation could be catastrophic
