 is affecting their country negatively.
This
 essay tends to discuss why some inhabitants have negative attitudes towards an increase in travelling and

this
 view. There are several justifiable reasons why people think that international travel is a bad thing for their homeland. First and foremost,
due to
 the massive influx of tourists, local people are relocated from their locality to provide more buildings for the
tourism
 industry. Even coastal regions and urban areas are being developed to make enough spaces for tourists. Any development involves interference with nature

Nevertheless

, I strongly believe that it should alleviate their resentment.
