International travel is becoming cheaper than before, so more and more countries open their doors to tourists. Do the advantages of increased tourism outweigh the disadvantages?
there is a current debate surrounding whether international
tourism
has a negative or positive effect on countries due to
the availability of travelling. personally, I think the advantages of this
trend are eclipsed by its disadvantages.
on the one hand, those who advocate the development of mass tourism
may point to a better interracial understanding and a huge profit. regarding the former, it is true that many people believe in false preconceptions about the tradition and cultures of other countries. therefore
, travelling to these nations helps them to correct their existing prejudices and strengthen their bond with people from all over the world. furthermore
, cross-border tourism
is a major industry that assists the economy of many countries thanks to a large number of foreign tourists
and foreign investments. for example
, in 2019, the significant development of the economy in Vietnam was mainly caused by the trend of international tourism
.
on the other hand
, there is still a myriad of drawbacks of international tourism
that need to be taken into consideration . firstly
, it is worth mentioning that business invests in cross-border tourism
in order to profit from the tourists
, so they are likely to exploit local cultures and customs for their own benefit. entrepreneurs even freeze the traditions of the past to create a fantasy with a view to attracting more tourists
. for instance
, Sapa was regarded as the beauty of nature, but this
landscape has been damaged seriously to fulfil tourists
' desire for exoticism in recent years. moreover
, travellers can unintentionally offend the local values without in-depth knowledge of the local cultures. as a result
. tensions can be created among nations due to
mass tourism
.
in conclusion, despite certain benefits of international travel, I strongly believe that its merits are overshadowed by its demerits. therefore
, governments need to take these problems into account to control mass tourism
in an appropriate way.Submitted by bobong120906 on
