International travel is becoming cheaper, and more and more countries open their door to tourists. Do the advantages of increased tourism outweigh its disadvantages?

#travel #countries #door #tourists #tourism
It is true that global
tourism
 has become inexpensive these days, and an increasing number of nations are freely allowing entry of tourists.
While
 there are possible disadvantages associated with
this
 trend, I think that the potential benefits of the growth in
tourism
 outweigh its drawbacks. On the one hand, I accept that there are certain disadvantages related to the
increase
 in
tourism
. First of all, the rise in global travel has resulted in an unprecedented negative effect on the environment of Earth. It has led both to an
increase
 in consumption of precious natural resources and to an
increase
 in pollution levels.
Moreover
,
Due to
 the overcrowded nature of heritage sites, it has become harder to manage them properly.
As a result
, it would harm these valuable historical sites through acts
such
 as littering or graffiti.
On the other hand
, I believe that some benefits are far stronger than the drawbacks mentioned above. First of all, international
tourism
 has brought foreign currency to many Second and Third World countries by flourishing their economies. The growing
tourism
 industry has provided millions of jobs worldwide.
In addition
, owing to
tourism
, people would easily get the opportunity to interact with others by immersing themselves in different cultures and religions.
Therefore
, their understanding grows which promotes a sense of cultural harmony. In conclusion,
although
 there are some downsides to the
increase
 in
tourism
, I ensure that
overall
 it is a positive trend as it has benefitted both the economies and the culture of host nations.
