International tourism has bought enormous benifits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantage of international tourism outweigh the advantage.

The

tourism

industry has seen massive growth worldwide. Today, travelling abroad has become so common that some people travel even for leisure.

This

trend has brought many advantages to the

communities

and their inhabitants.

However

, people are

also

worried about the negative effects that it causes.

This

essay will state why the disadvantages outweigh the advantage. International

tourism

has been a key factor in the economic development of many

communities

around the world. There is no doubt that when

tourists

travel, they spend big amounts of money paying for goods and accommodation. It means that these

communities

will economically benefit from it. Cities and

communities

also

witness improvements in the infrastructure of the roads and facilities when

tourism

is high.

Lastly

, a big part of the incomes that it leaves is invested in the preservation of the environment and the endangered species.

However

, there are some collateral effects

as a result

of the massive growth of international

tourism

. The wildlife animals are often victims of

tourism

.

For instance

, Since the elephants in Indonesia became a trend for

tourists

, they have been working exhaustively and they barely rest.

In addition

, some

tourists

simply do not care about the environment. A lot of studies have shown that cities with a higher number of visitors present a greater rate of contamination in their rivers, lakes and beaches.

Last

but not least, international

tourism

has completely displaced some

communities

as a result

of the high demand.

For instance

, in Venice, Italy, many locals have been forced to move to other neighbour cities because there is no enough space on the island to cope with the massive flow of international

tourists

.

Consequently

, local

communities

are left behind without another choice but to move out. In conclusion, international

tourism

is evidently the biggest economy in some

communities

.

Although

it brings several benefits to individuals and the environment, it

also

creates a lot of harm to them. Perhaps, if in the future, the relevant authorities take care of

this

matter, international

tourism

would overcome all the disadvantages it carries.
