Many of the countries believe that international tourism has harmful effects. Why do they think so? What can be done to change their views?

With the inception of Globalization, international

tourism

has increased immensely.

However

, several nations consider global

travel

has adverse effects. In

this

essay, I will try to address the reasons behind

such

belief and ways to bring a paradigm shift.

Firstly

, with the advancement in trade and commerce, global

tourism

has enhanced many folds, which has led to many issues related to illegal immigration, the spread of a pandemic, terrorism etc. The Governments of many countries have faced innumerable incidents of

such

international

travel

and

tourism

issues. It

also

adds to the problems that are face by the locals;

for instance

, refugees from Bangladesh enter into Indian borders never leave, which leads to more pressure on the scarce resources of India.

However

, the countries that believe in the instances mentioned above must

also

consider the merits of international

travel

that takes place these days. As we all know,

tourism

is a critical source of earnings for the economy of any nation. So, we cannot deny

such

a lucrative sector of any economy by only focussing on the problems it creates.

Instead

, the governments can enforce strict laws related to international

travel

.

For instance

, the Government of India can make more stringent border security to ensure control over refugees. In conclusion, we can say that there are specific harmful effects of international

tourism

.

However

, there are solutions to avoid

such

consequences and take the maximum advantage that international

tourism

offers.
