TOURISM

Tourism has become one of the most appreciated sources of income for many countries of the world. Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world because it is one of the best ways of earning foreign currency. Despite the many advantages of tourism, there a few disadvantages too as there are always two sides to everything. The few drawbacks highlighted are environmental pollution, cultural and social degradation and economic downturns.
However, tourists cause environmental damage through forest fires, destruction of sand dunes and pollution. Consequently this serves negatively as increased pollution causes public discomfort and also may discourage tourists from further entering the country unstable market (fickle, affected by local and world events, generally highly elastic) environmental destruction (game drives, resorts: golf, ski, beach, desert, world as play ground, SUV.) cultural destruction, (modernization (world mono-culture), freezes culture as performers, loss: language, religion, rituals, material culture.) Culture difference can also cause getting into trouble. Sometimes peoples are so different that it can cost a person his life. After this, tourism undermines culture by commercializing it and this is often connected with increasing litter, graffiti, vandalism and noise - tourists do not always respect traditional cultures, which is sad but true.
