In many countries, international tourism has become an important source of income. However, it also has negative effects. Do the benefits of international tourism outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Tourism
has become a topic of interest over the last
decade with many people choosing to travel a lot during their leisure time. This
has created vast opportunities for countries
that allow guests from other countries
. Though there are few harmful effects from global tourism
, my belief is that it can be neglected when we consider the boost that it provides to a country
.
Firstly
, when there are visitors from developed rich countries
, it will contribute towards uplifting the economy of the host country
. For example
, Sri Lanka experienced a boom in tourism
with the civil war being ended in 2009 and the country
's main source of income included tourism
as well. Moreover
, many other industries such
as construction, telecommunication, etc. also
developed in parallel with tourism
. Furthermore
, it provides a platform for a country
to be globally recognized. This
can improve relationships between countries
around the globe.
However
, there are few areas that international tourism
is damaging once it is allowed in a country
. There can be harmful things such
as drugs that could enter the country
along with tourism
. Such
incidents could damage the internal peace inside the country
. Another problem is that people tend to fully depend on tourism
instead
of developing their skills. As a result
, in a pandemic situation such
as in present, they will face an economical crisis. Hence
, it is important to educate people in the tourism
sector about having a backup plan.
In conclusion, there are both benefits and downfalls of global tourism
inside a country
. Nevertheless
, we should look forward to positives and mitigate negative effects with proper education.Submitted by suga.ek on
