Tourism today creates a variety of problems, such as pollution due to flights, traffic congestion and water pollution. Do you think that governments should impose extra taxes on flights or accommodation to restrict today's tourism industry?

It has become a serious trend that expanding tourism contributes to various problems including pollution and traffic congestion. Some

by the government. I partially support
this
view, for the growing threat to the environment regardless of
taxes
restricting economic activities. On the one hand, higher
taxes
should be imposed on accommodation and
flights
since an increase in harmful gas emitted from
flights
destroys the environment at an accelerating speed.

On the other hand
