Although

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

and nature. In my opinion, the drawbacks of
tourism

outweigh its benefits due to the impact of
tourism

on the depletion of natural
resources
Use synonyms
through overconsumption as well as pollution, and waste problems.
First
Linking Words
of all,
tourism

puts enormous stress on local natural
resources
Use synonyms
through over consumption, often noticeable in places where

are already scarce.
For instance

has caused local

Similarly

,
tourism

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

Therefore

, tourists can increase the use of

and public services making problems for local

. 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

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

and causing pollution that has impacted both wildlife and people.
