tourism has increased so much over the last 50 years that it is having a mainly negative impact on local habitants 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.
It is constantly discussed in society the positive and negative aspects of
tourism
on local residents' ecosystem and economy. The paragraphs below will discuss both points of view and, then
, give my own perspective.
To begin
with, there are two possible advantages of encouraging tourism
in places. First of all, it foments the local market, increasing the purchase value of the merchandise and, consequently
, improving companies' income. For instance
, tapioca is a traditional Brazilian food and is affordable to buy in supermarkets. However
, its value augments in touristic hotspots. Another motive to explain the government investments to amplify tourism
is the incentive for enterprises to renovate and modernize their structures, thus
, justifying the price readjustment from their improvements in ambience and infrastructure.
In stark contrast, some drawbacks are also
noticed with the increased touristic movement. A well-known outcome discussed among urbanists is the gentrification process. More specifically, local natives whose wages are not enough to follow the readjusted prices are forced to move out of these centres to live in farther venues, giving place to those who can afford to pay for it, which is unfair. Moreover
, another problem caused by tourists visiting is environmental damage. As a consequence
of companies' production and individual consumption, more trash is produced proportionally, which combined with an improper destination, accumulates in the ecosystem.
To conclude
, tourism
has its merits and demerits. Although
, in my opinion, a balance should be aimed and reached to control local prices, and environmental damage and still encourage visiting by foreigners. Therefore
, both local residents, tourists and the ecosystem would be benefited
