The costs of international travel are decreasing and tourism is growing. Do you believe that the advantages of increasing tourism outweigh its disadvantages?

In recent decades, many various factors have made international travel easier and many countries have,

industries into key sectors of their economies. While it is clear that

tourism

brings obvious benefits to the countries that host

tourists

Use synonyms

, I still believe that it may bring more important disadvantages as well. On the one hand, I concede that there are some benefits that

tourism

brings to a

country

Use synonyms

.

First

,

tourism

creates many job places for those who are unemployed. Obviously, a thriving tourist industry implies an increasing need for a variety of services

such

as hotels, transport, restaurants, and entertainment.

This

results in a considerable number of jobs being created for people who lack a college education, thereby having more people be hired.

Furthermore

,

tourism

is a "green" industry that, unlike factories, generates a low level of pollution. In fact, because beautiful natural landscapes are often places that

tourists

come to see, a

country

will often be sure to maintain the landscape in order to keep it attractive for

tourists

.

This

of course leads to the protection of natural monuments.

However

Linking Words

, despite the benefits, I feel that there are more significant aspects of

tourism

that may prove harmful to a

country

Use synonyms

. One of them is that it still is a

country

that may suffer from the loss of its traditional culture.

This

is caused by people in a

country

changing their lifestyle, customs, and language in order to more effectively serve visitors or because they become influenced by foreign countries.

This

can cause stress in a traditional society and could even lead to animosity towards

tourists

.

In addition

, the crime rate can increase. Because

tourists

often carry expensive objects like cameras and are unaware of their surroundings, they make good targets for theft. Crime

also

increases

as a result

of the increases in drugs and prostitution that caters to some vacationers. In conclusion,

although

global

tourism

is greatly beneficial to an economy and environment of a

country

Use synonyms

, it can be detrimental in the case of crime rate and loss of tradition.

Therefore

Linking Words

, I think that the drawbacks of

tourism

outweigh its advantages.
