International travel is becoming cheaper and cheaper, and more countries are now opening their doors to foreign visitors. Do you think that the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

#travel #countries #doors #visitors #trend
Nowadays, travelling around the world is becoming more and more popular because of the low prices.
However
, in my opinion, there are more cons than pros of
tourism
.
For instance
, the
pollution
 is getting worse, the culture slowly disappears and the people in the tourist branch have long working days for a bad salary. I will now explain my arguments in detail in the following paragraphs. To start with
pollution
,
pollution
 has a big effect on our life quality. Touriststourists travel often by plane or car to their destination. When they enter the country, they often hire a taxi or drive around to go to tourist attractions.
Subsequently
, they make a mess at the places they visit.
For example
, the popular city of Rome was ultra-clean during the pandemic.
Tourists
 ensure
pollution
 by their way of behaving. Another reason is that
tourists
 have a big effect on the culture of a society.
For example
, in almost all of the retail shops in Amsterdam, English is the native language. It is beginning to look like the residents are becoming the new
tourists
 in their own country. Proponents argue that because of
tourists
 there are a lot of jobs. I have to agree with that,
however
, the employees have to work long days and do not get paid well. The money goes to the owners of the company who make a big profit. Unfortunately,
tourism
 generally benefits the people who already live

wealthy life.
To conclude
, the advantages of
tourism
 do not outweigh the disadvantages. The
pollution
 is increasing, the culture will slowly disappear and
tourism
 does not benefit the local people.
