A lot of places in the world rely on tourism as a main source of income. Unfortunately, tourism can also be a source of problems if it is not well-managed. What are the advantages and disadvantages of tourism in the modern world? Do you think that the benefits of tourism outweigh its drawbacks?
In the modern era, whether
tourism
is a contributor to a nation's development remains a contentious topic surrounding many arguments. In the following paragraphs, I intend to delve into the advantages and disadvantages of this
controversial issue, and a concrete answer is given below in subsequent paragraphs.
On the one hand, it is believed by many that tourists bring various benefits with them. To begin
, developing nationalities such
as Mexico and Thailand mainly depend on tourism
for economic growth. Furthermore
, due to
a scarcity of jobs in less populated regions, natives survive because of the expenditures made by people
on attractions and food. To illustrate, Mexico was declared bankrupt by the United Nations Organization in 2006 due to
the country's debt. Since then
, it has flourished in all aspects, such
as GDP, and the reputation of diversity is on the rise. Furthermore
, the citizens get to learn the cultures and traditions of other nationalities, and tourism
affects tourism
in a positive way.
On the contrary
, various schools of thought suggest that tourism
is a disguise for the modern world and brings many disadvantages to society. To commence, if not tackled in the right way, the communist parties and other religions from other parts of the globe can dominate the population which can have detrimental effects on the people
residing in a country. Also
, conflicts and riots are common in nations that attract a lot of visitors. To illustrate, Sweden, a democratic country where people
can freely express their thoughts, is a home for the LGBTQ community. However
, due to
the lack of repression of thought expressions, people
frequently protest, resulting in riots that have a direct impact on the reputation of a nation.
To conclude
, tourism
has facilitated many things, enriching people
's lives. Hence
, I believe that disadvantages are negligible in comparison to advantages.Submitted by harshveermangat141 on
