Nowadays,
places
like the Sahara and Antarctica have gained a lot of popularity among tourists over the past few years. People these days prefer an adventurous trip rather than a relaxed
one
, these
however
come with some disadvantages and consequences.
There are several advantages of visiting
places
like the Sahara and Antarctica,
one
of them being a sense of accomplishment. Not many people dare to visit these
places
because of the obvious dangers, so it would be a great achievement to be
one
of the few to conquer their fears and have extraordinary experiences.
Furthermore
, despite the dangerous situations some of these tourists opt for these excursions, simply for the thrill.
For instance
, Adithya Prakash the first-ever Indian to climb Mount Everest has faced multiple hurdles but his dedication and willpower have helped him achieve the impossible and has given more recognition to his country.
As a result
, examples like
this
motivate other people to discover unknown parts of the world.
Along with
these benefits, there are numerous drawbacks as well.
One
of the main disadvantages would be the destruction of habitats that belong to the local communities and indigenous animals . when
places
like these become more popular tourist companies tend to build more hotels,homestay,and restaurants in order to attract tourists which would result in a boost to the economy but at the cost of disturbing the balance of the ecosystem, In Antarctica,
for example
,
due to
the industrial mining of oil and other metals, many species
such
as sea lions and polar bears have been victims of water pollution
due to
the toxic industrial chemicals.
As a consequence
of these actions, exotic animals are migrating to neighbouring lands in search of a safer space,
however
unfortunately most of them are unable to survive in these unfavourable conditions and would face extinction.
In conclusion, travelling to these
places
has various advantages
such
as a sense of achievement and thrill,
nevertheless
, they come with a fair share of disadvantages including disruption of the ecosystem
