Most of the world’s poor live in countries where tourism is a growth industry. The issue is that tourism does not benefit the poor. How can the income generated by tourism benefit the poor? And how can we ensure that tourism does not destroy traditional culture and ways of life?
Many economic experts assert that
tourism
does not benefit the poor even though most of the world's
poor live in countries where Change the noun form
worlds
world
tourism
is a growth industry. I would like to explain why tourism
does not benefit the poor, how income that can benefit the poor can be generated, and how to prevent tourism
from destroying traditional culture
and ways of life.
First
of all, many experts say that the reason why tourism
does not help the poor is that most of the money
which comes from tourism
goes to the rich. People who have sufficient money
can develop attractions that are worth going to like a botanical garden, a zoo, and so on. In contrast
, poor people are just staff who work there, receiving low wages. Therefore
, the poor cannot make much money
from tourism
.
Therefore
, tourism
that benefits the poor should be in some places like a market
. For example
, tourists buy products like handicrafts, souvenirs, or traditional goods in a store in the market
, then
that money
will go directly to the store owner. It can directly help them. Therefore
promoting some sites which are relevant places to the poor like a market
and making tourists spend money
there may help directly. Moreover
, it is also
important to prevent tourism
from destroying traditional culture
. In addition
to promoting this
market
, they can also
promote experiencing their lifestyle and traditional culture
through tours, such
as trying on their traditional clothes or sleeping in their traditional house. This
kind of tourism
can help them to make money
without destroying their own cultures.
To sum up, tourism
does not help the poor because most of the money
made from tourism
goes to the rich. Promoting some sites like a market
that is
relevant to the poor directly and allowing them to make money
can be a solution. Also
, tourism
can include experiencing their traditional culture
and lifestyle not to destroy their own cultures.Submitted by gaingloryb on
