Many international
travel
agencies tend to lower their services price thanks to globalization. While
this
phenomenon can cause some potential problems, I think the benefits are more significant.
On the one hand, there are some defects to international
travel
when the strategy of reducing
travel
costs is implemented.
Firstly
, the cheaper price often makes it easy for international
travel
agencies to draw attention from people.
As a result
. tourist destinations would witness a huge influx of travellers, which could provoke adverse influences on the locations
such
as indiscriminate littering, pollution of air and water, or vandalism. A specific example of
this
could be the Great Wall of China where suffers tourist numbers causing parts falling into disrepair while other parts have been knocked down to give rise to roads or developments to make it easier for tourists to access
this
marvel.
Secondly
, low price sometimes is accompanied by the poor-quality
tourism
services since that international
travel
agencies provide cheap
travel
deals to their clients, but they may be substandard services in reality.
Consequently
, consumers do not reach the desired satisfaction as their expectation, and
such
bad experience could ruin relaxation or leave unpleasant memories for travellers.
On the other hand
, despite many negative impacts, there are tremendous perks as well due to that
tourism
plays a crucial role in the development of the global economy as the fastest-growing industry. One of the biggest benefits of
tourism
is the ability to obtain income through foreign exchange. The money that the countries accumulate in
this
way could
then
be reinvested in public services
such
as education or healthcare to pave the way for a better quality of life in local communities. Another advantage could be that international
tourism
leads to employment creation.
Tourism
generates jobs directly through hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, taxis, and souvenir sales, and indirectly through the supply of goods and services needed by
tourism
-related businesses.
This
is beneficial for governments to minimize the unemployment rate and to enables employees in the sector to satisfy their family needs and eventually contributing to the prosperity and development of the region.
In conclusion, while the benefits associated with the reduction of international
travel
fares could counteract its possible disadvantages, governments and people of each country and each locality should work on managing the protection and conservation of national heritage for the development of sustainable
tourism
around the world.
