numerous drawbacks that can arise.
To begin
with, the primary reason for developing
tourism
in a country is due to the economic benefits that it brings. A well-developed
tourism
industry creates a lot of new businesses and jobs for local people, and an influx of money from foreign
tourists
.
In addition
to
this
, promoting international
tourism
can help to improve international relations with other
countries
, and to share a country’s customs and culture with people all around the world.

For example

this
creates mountains of plastic waste every year. Many developing
countries
do not have appropriate recycling facilities and do not know how to deal with the waste, and
therefore
, it commonly ends up littered throughout the countryside, rivers, seas, beaches and oceans. In conclusion, I would have to say that expanding the
tourism
industry in a country is a positive development if it is properly managed, and the environmental and cultural impacts are closely monitored and minimised
thus
