Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Tourism plays a significant role in the development of the country's economy and providing job opportunities to locals.

However

, there are certain drawbacks

such

as culture clash and environmental pollution. I disagree, with the statement as it has a lot of advantages over its drawbacks. There are two main primary reasons for tourism must be promoted.

Firstly

, it provides revenue to the country when tourists travel from one place to another, they tend to spend on leisure activities, food, and hospitality which keeps the revenue flowing from one hand to another as it is a good sign to the nation.

Secondly

, it provides job opportunities to local residents

such

as taxi drivers, tourist guides, salesman and waiters in restaurants.

Thirdly

, new firms and organizations have been investing in building hotels. For an instant, an article in Times of Goa showed a drastic increase from 5

lakh

hotels in 2016 to 8

lakh

in 2019.

Although

there are benefits of tourism, it causes tension among locals as they believe that foreign culture might harm their tradition and culture ethics

hence

youngsters might adopt those changes.

Moreover

, a tourist at times wear clothes which are not appropriate to wear at temples and mosque.

Lastly

, because of over-tourism that causes a lot of harm to the environment as tourists tend to pollute the place with plastic which harms animals and aquatic fishes living in
