Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in international tourism. Some people think that tourism is beneficial for local communities and should be encouraged. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a steady rise in the growth of the travel
industry
from past times. Few people believe that the tourist
industry
is profitable for the local communities and needs to be pushed. On the positive side tourist
industry
will help in the economic growth of a country.
On the contrary
, it has an appalling effect on the local society. In my opinion, I strongly agree to motivate the
industry
. On the one hand, the Tourist
industry
will help in raising the GDP of a country in so many ways. International
tourism
will help in creating so many new jobs like waiters in the hotels, establishment of new local shops and restaurants etc. In
this
,way it will decrease the unemployment problem in a nation.
Furthermore
, the standard of living of the individuals
also
raises. In India,
for example
, the percentage of contribution by the international
tourism
industry
to economic growth in 2015 is 10% which has been raised to 25% in 2020.
This
clearly explains to us, how International
tourism
will aid in the economic aspects of a country.
On the other hand
, the multi-national travel
industry
will have an appalling effect on the local traditions and culture.
In particular
, The younger generations will be easily attracted to western culture by leaving their customs.
In addition
, they even lose the basic essence of their traditions, customs and local language. A recent study, made by Stanford University students reveals that there is a huge decrease in the number of local languages spoken in Russia in the
last
10 years, and
this
is due to global
tourism
. In conclusion, the inter-continental
tourism
industry
has both advantages and disadvantages, but advantages overweigh the disadvantages.
However
, it is the responsibility of one's own nation to bring the laws or reforms to maintain the equalities of society and develop
tourism
.
