Thanks to low-cost airlines, many people can travel abroad. What advantages and disadvantages do tourists bring to the countries they visit?

#thanks #airlines #people #travel #tourists #countries #visit
The advanced technology in machines and navigating systems has affected the price of aeroplane tickets. These days, many airlines offer low-cost tickets, and
thus
; many
people
 can travel anywhere in the globe. There are some benefits
as well as
 negative effects of
this
 massive
tourism
.
One
 of the most advantageous effects of an increase in
visitors
 for
one
 country would be the economic value. With many local and international
tourists
 coming to visit, it will definitely help to improve the economy of local residents. These
tourists
 will need accommodation, food, transportation and entertainment, which could be provided by the local businesses.
In addition
,
visitors
 with their various cultural backgrounds may allow for cultural change and diffusion to happen, which may enrich the local culture. Another benefit that foreign
tourists
 may bring is that the local
people
 and even children may learn other languages, especially English, as many
tourists
 at least use English to communicate.
However
, massive
tourism
 is not without negative effects. As evident in many tourist attractions in Indonesia, many irresponsible
visitors
 left their trash behind and do not try to keep the environment safe. Local authorities should pay more attention to
this
 trash problem as it can be dangerous for our environment in the long term. On top of that, a few
visitors
 seem to not respect the local culture.
For example
, a few months ago, a video went viral showing two
visitors
 arguing with the local authority as they can not enter areas in Bali where
people
 were doing Nyepi. Nyepi is a religious practice of Balinese where no
one
 is allowed to do any activity except for the Cakalang, which are local
people
 assigned to keep the area safe and soundly. In conclusion, improved economy and cultural diffusion are some of the benefits of
tourism
,
whereas
 danger to the environment could be
one
 of the downsides of
tourism
.
