Tourism is encouraged in many countries. Does tourism brings more advantages or disadvantages to a country?

These days, travel has an increasingly vital role to play than ever before, particularly

with

the respects of education and experience. In spite of that, many people argue that due to

tourism

the local natural landscape and people’s lives are being interrupted annoyingly.

Nevertheless

, others hold that in the absence of

tourism

our perspective about the world would be theoretical and impractical as Saint Augustine once said: “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” One argument in favour of

tourism

encouragement is that from an economic standpoint, there would be a significant contribution to the local inhabitants’ source of income as well as the general Gross Domestic Product.

That is

to say, a greater number of tourists would pay a visit to their place, and the local residents would benefit by providing more food and services to meet the increased demand. As the result,

this

expansion would have a positive domino effect on

such

other supporting industries as transport and hospitality and

accordingly

the whole economic growth. As far as culture and politics are concerned, it is believed that

tourism

promotion is regarded as a practical tool for the government to promote its country’s value and cultural identity.

For instance

, Vietnam had remained less well-known globally until Ha Long Bay, a popular and charming bay in the

Tonkin, Gulf

of Vietnam, was recognized as a world heritage.

Consequently

, in some way, Vietnam is associated with a rich and diverse country in culture with numerous islands and crystal clear sea water.

On the other hand

, some opponents point out that

tourism over

tourism, over

-development would pose a threat to the local ecological system. Some researchers

that thousands of species are on the verge of extinction due to the fact that more and more buildings, houses and other facilities are being constructed at a rapid rate to supply the growing demand.

This

, in turn, would deprive the wildlife from food and living space or lead to the capture of them for food and entertainment.

Furthermore

, in the aspect of health, there is a risk of transmitting external diseases

the local country. Take the virus corona pandemic as a typical example. Originating from only Wuhan, China, the virus has swiftly spread all over the globe relentlessly. As a consequence, an enormous number of infected cases and deaths has occurred worldwide so far showing no sign of relief. Taking everything into account, I believe that

although

the local destination would suffer one way or another, with the above-mentioned benefits,

tourism

encouragement is becoming more and more necessary as Thanh Hoang says, “the travel and

tourism

industry, it’s just a huge part of our economy”
