Nowadays, the

tourism

industry

plays a fundamental role in the global economy. Many countries' economies are based on

I will examine the advantages and the

disadvantages

of

this

industry

and I will

also

provide some examples. On the one hand,

tourism

is an amazing

industry

that brings several advantages to countries visited and to

tourists

too.

Firstly

, it can improve the local economy of an area, because

tourists

will use local services like bike renting, eating in local restaurants and buying some souvenirs, and all of these actions contribute to increasing job opportunities for locals.

Secondly

, by the meeting between

tourists

and locals, it is possible to spread knowledge and different cultures, because each party can learn from the other one.

For instance

, when someone decides to visit remote Africa, he brings knowledge to local people who live in the

third

world and

this

can help them to build a better community, by using

this

new information.

On the other hand

,

tourism

has two main

disadvantages

: environmental problems and disrespect towards local populations.

To begin

with, many studies report that when a destination starts to become popular among travellers, it starts his decline.

This

is due to the fact that

tourists

can be a serious problem for local environments

because they create more garbage and ruins attractions.

For instance

, in order to fix

this

situation, Venezia, the famous Italian city, started to apply a maximum number of visitors per day, and by doing that, it can control better the actions of

tourists

.

In addition

, visitors in many cases do not respect locals,

this

happens often when it comes to rural areas in Africa, Asia or South America, where people have completely different traditions from the rest of the world. Many times, visitors do not understand these differences and they end up acting in a disrespectful way. To conclude, despite the

tourism

industry

can bring some

disadvantages

like pollution and problems among

tourists

and native individuals, in my

opinion

the advantages outweigh the

disadvantages

because

this

industry

is one of the biggest in the world and every year give the opportunity to work for millions of people and

also

because it allows the meeting among different cultures.
