Tourism is an important industry which has developed the economies of countries in many parts of the world. What effect has tourism had on local communities?

Tourism

is a global trend, becoming one of the fastest growing and the largest economic sectors on the

world

level, contributing to the

development

and prosperity of nations.

However

, like other industries,

tourism

has its good and bad sides.

Firstly

,

touristry

a region marked off for administrative or other purposes

territory

has become an indispensable need in the cultural and social life in many countries. It is considered as one of the important economic sectors in many developing industrial countries. Travelling networks have been established in most countries of the

world

. Since

then

,

tourism

has gradually given a key to the national economy.

Secondly

,

tourism

is a free means of advertisement for the country. Culture plays a decisive role in the relationships between individuals and communities.Through

tourism

, the culture of each country is introduced, promoted and more conditions for exchange and advancement. It can be affirmed that culture is a human resource, a treasure, a setting and an attractive motivation for

tourism

improvement.The

development

of international

tourism

also

has important implications for strengthening international economic relations

such

as combining exchange contracts between countries and international organizations for

tourism

.

In addition

,

tourism

also

creates opportunities for employment. In today's fierce

world

, underemployment is a difficult problem for many governments. According to statistics released by UNWTO, the

tourism

industry has created about 10% of jobs in the

world

. Through the chain of

tourism

services,

tourism

provides opportunities for women, youth and rural communities in many different roles, contributing to the creation of a more equal and inclusive society.

Moreover

,

tourism

creates jobs in rural and remote areas, not only directly, but

also

indirectly through the conservation and restoration of traditional production activities.

Furthermore

,

tourism

can help raise funds to build some public facilities or invest in poor children. When tourists pay for travelling fees, the more tourists in a controlled area, the more money gets for things like education, policy, and maintenance of national wilderness areas.

Although

the benefits of

tourism

are undeniable, it still has many negative impacts on the local communities, due to the rapid growth in the absence of treatment facilities, people's awareness is still limited.

This

leads to an increase in pressure on the environment. In many areas, because of the sharp growth of

tourism

activities beyond the management capacity, the pressures on the natural resources and the habitat have been created, causing local pollution and the risk of degradation.

Besides

,

tourism

activities increase the pressure on domestic waste, especially in tourist centres, increasing the risk of environmental pollution of soil and water.

For example

, at Huong Pagoda in the festive season, the average amount of waste is 4 to 5 tons / day but the collection volume is only about 80%.

Also

, ecosystems and

environment

Suggestion

the environment

have been very sensitive and vulnerable to the pressure of

tourism

evolution. Unreasonable

tourism

development

results in natural resources

such

as coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves; fisheries and other creatures on the islands may be changed. Many unique landscapes, ecosystems, especially in coastal areas, islands, nature reserves, national parks have been reduced with the

development

of new tourist areas.

Although

it is considered a "smokeless industry",

tourism

can pollute the gas through the exhaust of motor vehicles and boats, especially on the main traffic routes, causing damage to plants, wildlife, and limestone and concrete structures.

Next

,

tourism

activities

also

cause negative impacts on cultural and social life in some areas. The traditional cultural ​​of many communities in the high mountainous areas are

unique

Suggestion

uniquely

but easy to change when contact with foreign cultures. Conflict arises when developing

tourism

or contrasting lifestyle. Cultural, historical and archaeological sites are often built with easily destroyed materials. These heritage sites are easily degraded when

further

affected by tourists and the committee do not have protective measures. To conclude,

tourism

has brought a lot of great benefits to local communities and the country's economy, but the reality shows that

tourism

development

often comes with negative impacts on the environment and culture.

Therefore

, in the process of developing

tourism

, it is necessary to offer solutions

on

Suggestion

to

environmental problems as well as unique cultures, so that people can enjoy the long-term benefits that

tourism

brings.
