International travel is becoming cheaper and countries are opening their doors to more and more tourist. Do the advantages of increased tourists outweigh disadvantages?

It is a common belief that global tourism is likely to damage the environment or cultural treasures of

countries

as travelling abroad has become affordable to more people.

However

, there is a more persuasive argument that cheaper travel encourages individuals to experience various cultures and extend their insights through international trips. On the one hand, travellers sometimes ruin the environment or heritage sites by doing outdoor activities or destroying remarkable artefacts. There are a number of cases in which

tourists

not only affect nature,

such

as oceans or mountains, negatively but

also

devastate cultural heritage.

For example

, a large number of corals die every year because of sunscreen which

tourists

apply.

Also

, the government cannot help but spend exponential money renovating culturally important sites.

Nevertheless

, international travel allows

tourists

to experience diverse cultures and meet new people from different

countries

, which leads to extending their viewpoints. Several decades ago, exploring other

countries

was only for the rich.

Therefore

, people, who could not afford flight tickets and tours, had to learn about different cultures through books.

However

, since the global trip has become cheaper and more reasonable, more individuals are able to benefit from travelling abroad.

For instance

, in South Korea, because there are many moderate flight tickets to other

countries

, more Koreans can experience various values and make unforgettable memories. In conclusion,

while

there are some drawbacks of global tourism when it comes to nature and notable locations, it is evident that the advantages of it far outweigh the disadvantages since it gives more

tourists

opportunities to have overseas trips in person.
