Today more and more tourists are visiting places where conditions are difficult, such as the Sahara Desert or the Antarctic. What are the benefits and disadvantages for tourists who visit such places?

Lately, a lot more

people

have been interested in exploring regions

such

as the Sahara Desert or the Antarctic, where the environmental conditions aren't ideal. Just like how there are two sides to a coin, visiting

such

places has its own advantages and disadvantages. One

such

advantage is that

tourists

get to experience the environment and the natural habitats,

while

the disadvantage is that,

such

extreme conditions could take a toll on their physical health. On the one hand,

tourists

can get first-hand experiences learning about the local habitat and environment. No matter what they read in books or gain knowledge from watching videos, experiencing it in person is completely different.

Moreover

, they could interact with the locals and learn more about their culture.

For example

, a lot more

people

are going to the Sahara Desert to ride their camels, which is an activity predominantly found in that particular region and nowhere else.

On the other hand

, not many

people

have the capabilities to adapt to extreme conditions.

This

is because their body would not be able to cope with the drastic climate changes.

Hence

, they fall ill. In extreme cases, it could

also

result in death.

For instance

, when 10

people

visited the Antarctic in 2011, 5

tourists

experienced cardiac arrests

due to

blood clots that travelled to the heart. Importantly, the blood clots were caused by the extremely cold climate that they were exposed to. In conclusion,

although

being adventurous can be good in terms of experiencing different cultures and habitats, it can

also

lead to health problems.

Tourists

must know if their body is capable of adapting to extreme climate before taking

further

steps in planning their trip. If not, they must prioritize their body over fun trips.
