Tourism has emerged as one of the biggest industries of this decade, but its disadvantages cannot be overlooked. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

#tourism #industries #decade
It is often argued that
tourism
 has climbed to the top of the industries in
this
 decade, but its downsides cannot be ignored.
Although
 I personally disagree that the
disadvantages
 of
tourism
 cannot be overlooked because for some countries
tourism
 Is their biggest money grabber. For a
country
 like
Thailand
 where
tourism
 is our biggest income, the advantages definitely outweigh the
disadvantages
 so it can be overlooked. If one day, tourists suddenly decided not to come to
Thailand
 anymore the
country
 will suffer a fatal blow financially. Take the Coronavirus pandemic ,
for example
,
Thailand
's GDP dropped around 5-10% because there are no tourists not only did it affect the GDP but natives and merchants were
also
 affected as well because travellers are their main source of income as soon as they stop
coming
Add the preposition
tocoming
show examples
 their income stopped as well. Some even lost their jobs because the business suffer a loss and had to reduce the number. Most of
Thailand
's major cities are based on
tourism
 as well ,especially Phuket and Pattaya. Imagine these two cities without travellers, hotel industries and restaurants will suffer a great loss because the majority of their customers are foreigners and it will cause tons of hotels to go bankrupt which will
further
 affect the whole
country
's economy and currency. To conclude, I disagree that the
disadvantages
 of
tourism
 cannot be overlooked. For countries where
tourism
 are their biggest earner like
Thailand
 because it creates job opportunities for its citizen and supports the
country
's economy, It is undeniably better to overlook the
disadvantages
 rather than suffer from financial losses.
