. Some people think that travelling has disadvantages on the country.

Secondly

, travelling increases the level of employment as it creates a variety of new jobs.

In conclusion, while I agree that travelling has some drawbacks, I believe that tourism

benefits the country and any negative effects can be mitigated.
