Tourism has increased so much over the last 50 years that it is having a mainly negative impact on local inhabitants and the environment. However, others claim that it is good for the economy. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of tourism and give your own opinion.

has never been easier.

Nevertheless

, individuals have divided opinions about the

tourism

industry and its pluses and drawbacks;

however

, after weighing both sides, I believe that, overall, the advantages outweigh the

disadvantages

. It has been a long-held belief that since we have new people in towns as visitors, there would be an intense use of

resources

;

accordingly

, the more

resources

are used, the more waste, pollution, and emissions there will be, which can cause severe damage to the environment. Another disadvantage of

tourism

is unequal

infrastructure

growth

in particular

cities

, which can cause

further

problems like persuading citizens of less-developed towns to migrate to those developed

cities

due to the ongoing presence of tourists and developed

infrastructure

.

This

phenomenon can exacerbate the problem of overpopulation in

cities

of interest.

Finally

, severe use of

resources

and unequal

growth

of

cities

'

infrastructure

are two primary

disadvantages

. Having stated the

disadvantages

, we should not neglect the advantages of the

tourism

industry, nor should we underestimate its significant contributions.

Tourism

is widely believed to boost the revenue of the economy of countries;

as a result

,

this

may help people have an easier life since they do not have to keep up with inflation and unsecured monetary status. Another plus of

tourism

is that it may plant a sense of cultural exchange between foreigners and citizens, providing locals with diverse points of view, which can help them to think more openly. It,

therefore

, assists citizens in embracing cultural, language, and ethnic diversity, if any.

Hence

, we can take economic

growth

and cultural exchange as benefits of the

tourism

industry. To conclude,

although

I mentioned the severe use of

resources

and its adverse effects on the environment, and unequal

infrastructure

growth

as

disadvantages

of

tourism

, I believe that the advantages of the phenomenon, namely economic development and cultural exchange, outweigh the drawbacks.
