Although

the

tourism

industry has brought lots of profits for many countries around the world, we should not deny its negative effect on local

residents

and nature. In my opinion, the drawbacks of

tourism

outweigh its benefits due to the impact of

tourism

on the depletion of natural

resources

through overconsumption as well as pollution, and waste problems.

First

of all,

tourism

puts enormous stress on local natural

resources

through over consumption, often noticeable in places where

resources

are already scarce.

For instance

, water consumption during summertime in a hot area like Huwai

,

has caused local

residents

to have hours without water.

Similarly

,

tourism

has caused a 20 per cent increase in the public transport system

for instance

in Vancouver, causing Vancouverites to have a hard time to get to work, especially during rush hours.

Therefore

, tourists can increase the use of

resources

and public services making problems for local

residents

. Another negative impact of

tourism

is by increasing air and soil pollution. Every year, millions of tourists travel around the world using commercial planes or cars as the main means of transport.

This

has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of global greenhouse emissions that can contribute to the overall global warming of our planet earth. At the same time, they produce tons of wastes

that is

directly dumped into the environment putting natural habitat endanger. For ,instance the number of plastic wastes on Miami beach in 2018 reported killing thousands of dolphins in that area. As can be seen, visitors can, directly and indirectly, affect our planet. In conclusion, some might argue with me saying that tourists bring lots of financial profits to countries and make lots of job opportunities for local

residents

. My view is that the

tourism

industry has ruined natural habitat and put the majority of people under pressure by emptying our irreversible

resources

and causing pollution that has impacted both wildlife and people.
