TITLE: THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TOURISM
Tourism is a type of industry that relies on the willingness or need for
individuals and organizations to visit or move to a certain area. It can often
be very beneficial, but it can also have drawbacks. For example, Tourism
creates jobs in an area and helps the economy grow. It can also lead to
problems such as overcrowding, crime and even pollution. The risks of
tourism have led many people to take an anti-tourist position while some
people are pro-tourist in their ideology.
Tourism is viewed as a profitable industry by nations all over the world.
Third country nations are benefiting from the tourism industry's ability to
readily produce riches. This factor is particularly significant for countries
where tourism is the primary sector. Third-world nations with subpar
infrastructure benefit financially from tourism. The better a nation's internal
growth, the more tourists it will draw and the better off the nation will be. Many
nations rely heavily on tourism as a source of income. Tourism-related
massive influxes of tourists open up new business options for the locals.
Demand for hotels, bars, restaurants, and entertainment is a direct outcome
of tourism. In many countries, it also contributes significantly to the creation of
jobs for the local economy. Tourism surely has its own unique charm due to
its ability to unitepeople of diverse backgrounds, races, and cultural traditions
as well as the understanding it generates, which supports long-lasting
economic, political, and social partnerships. (Mason, 1995). In actuality,
tourism is the main source of income for many beautiful nations and
contributes to economic growth. Tourism can come with a cost, though. A
country may suffer from the tourism industry's impact in many different ways.
Thus, a clear distinction must be made between greeting visitors and the
turmoil they cause.
Next, tourism give some harmful effects of tourism are long-lasting. It is
because tourists harm the ecosystem when they travel to well-known
locations. Tourism raises the number of flights and miles driven by cars, which
increases carbon monoxide emissions inside a nation. Travelers may not
respect and honour local customs as a result of their presence. Tourists
frequently tease locals for breaking the taboo of sobriety in public. The verbal
or unspoken code that the locals hold in high regard will be broken as a result
of this. When visitors appear to love a certain popular lifestyle or tradition,
commercialization of culture has taken place. As a result of the locals'
traditions being sold to visitors for entertainment, their culture has been
exploited. Ocean health may be harmed by tourism. For instance, the
thousands of visitors that go boating and snorkeling each year have damaged
coral bays. The threat from waste, which was already stated, as well as the
opulent development of undeveloped coasts raise concerns for the ocean's
future. (Holden, 2000). In conclusion, the future of the ocean is in jeopardy
due to the threat posed by garbage and the lavish development of
undeveloped coasts. Due to their presence, tourists might not respect and
honour local customs. When people visit well-known areas, it hurts the
ecosystem.
In additional, through tourism, hosts and guests can interact with other
ethnic groups and share cultures. There are many benefits to tourism
because of its ability to unite people of different colours, backgrounds and
traditions. Besides that, respectful conversations can help both parties have
a broader perspective on the world. By putting the money made back into the
nation, tourism and its attractions can expand, starting a beneficial cycle for
the nation. Therefore, being a good tourist is an important first step in being a
respectful traveller, it is important to understand and respect the culture and
people of the country. The success of many economies throughout the world
depends on tourism, understanding created from tourism promotes constant
economic, political, and social relationships with other country. (Ingram,
2020).
On other hand, the negative effects of tourism may significantly
outweigh the positive ones in a nation given the way the sector is currently
managed. Environmental harm should be considered as the first factor. When
there is an excess of human interaction, flora and Wildlife can decline in some
areas or alter their growth and migration habits. Many nations that have
historical sites or natural attractions run the risk of being destroyed. In
addition, the number of people inhabiting an area significantly rises when a
nation has a high level of tourist appeal. Besides that, of how using a car and
flying affects the environment of the nation, carbon monoxide emissions may
rise. (Ingram, 2020)
In summary, the most important are being a respectful tourist is to be
a responsible tourist, Understanding and respecting the local culture and the
people in both large and small. Environmental awareness is very important for
the survival of a nation. Good environment that gives people a chance to live
healthy lives. In order to promote economic growth, a healthy population is
necessary.
The experience acquired opens our minds to a plethora of new ideas,
diversifies concepts, and provides us with the power to be preferred above
many other individuals most of the time. The experience broadens your
horizons, sharpens your thinking, and gives you strength since you will always
be more loved than others. Chatting with those folks and witnessing their way
of life is essential since you will see how they go about their everyday lives.
Meeting new people provides you with the confidence and encouragement to
lead that you have always desired. Meeting new people will also increase your
communication abilities, which will improve your personality in nearly every
manner. Additionally, it may broaden your experiences and make you a more
compelling speaker (Warrior, 2020). In conclusion, by travelling at the same
time, we may study and comprehend different sorts of languages throughout
the world while also learning about the culture of a country or state.
Language is required for all forms of communication, including sign
language and Braille, which allow persons with speech impairments to
communicate. Learning a few words in another language might be
intimidating. If language limitations are an issue but you still want to visit
another country, consider joining a tour group. While wearing money belts,
keeping valuables in hotel safes, and avoiding high-crime areas will help
prevent most travel- related crimes, safety remains a big concern. Tourists
must locate safe housing and learn how to avoid pickpockets and scams.
Thousands, if not millions, of kilometres away from home, and no one knows
what will happen in the next second (Warrior, 2020).
The conclusion is travel, whether it's to a nearby or distant location, will
provide us with an experience that we won't obtain anyplace else in our lives.
While there are various benefits to travelling, it is also necessary to weigh the
drawbacks. When planning a vacation, bear in mind that you should be
prepared to defend yourself from any hazards or threats that may come at any
time or in any location.
Apart from that, traveler is insanely addictive to individuals and
groups. Many people see beautiful things while traveling but they forget about
the negative effects of tourism if they cannot control it. This addiction will
change a person's way of life from the normal life of a person who works. It
interferes with the work process of an individual if he often travels. This effect
will not only be felt by the individual but also by his employer. The insanely
addictive can also result in job career development can also be affected and
not develop if they can't adjust it. Chances of career advancement or
promotion will also be affected due to the frequency with which they travel.
Beside than that, the insanely addictive traveler can result in a lot of expenses
and varies according to the type of adventure thus also contribute to the risk
of being homeless in the countries they visit, possibly due to running out of
capital for travel (Newman, 2019).
Apart from that, the problem that often passes if they travel too long
is that they will feel lonely. This is a problem that often afflicts travelers is that
they will miss their homeland. They also have difficulty in returning to their
homeland due to their infatuation with traveling. The more often they travel,
the more they move away from their hometown and this causes them to stay
on their travels. Besides that, the long and more journey also forces them to
get large funds or capital to continue traveling or traveling even though
traveling is the dream of every human being to visit new places (Newman,
2019). As conclusion, Travel is indeed fun but many travelers are not aware
of the risks they will face if they become addicted in their adventure or travel.
Tourism, both internally and externally, offers the possibility of peace,
both on the inside and outside. No other industry can provide opportunities
as well as global travel and tourism can. Traveling, admiring beauty,
connecting with others, exploring, and contemplating the meaning of life are
deep-seated human needs. We, as humans, have an innate need to explore,
explore the meaning of our lives, connect with others through connections, and
reflect upon the meaning of our lives. Tourism can then be more than it was,
adapting and rebounding to become more responsible, more resilient, and
more beneficial for all. There may be a need to adapt to the new realities of
the industry and to travelers’ changing needs in order to find meaning and
purpose in the travel industry. Providing travelers with opportunities for
connection, peace, reflection, and respite from today's challenges. (Lusby,
2021). As conclusion, the tourism industry is fundamental to the well-being of
humans and can contribute to the wellbeing of our planet as well. As described
in this issue, tourism can create meaning
and well-being for people and planet in many ways. We can reimagine what
tourism can be by enhancing our sense of responsibility and caring for each
other and life, as well as embracing new technologies and innovations in
travel and tourism.
The impact of viruses has profoundly changed industries and lifestyles
around the globe, many industries have had to close, and people have
become frightened about traveling because of the impact of viruses. The virus
had a dramatic effect on the global economy, changing how life was done
around the world. Having been hit by the pandemic, international tourism was
suddenly halted, in addition to the danger it posed to international travel.
There is no doubt that the Pandemic has raised global awareness of the fact
that we are more interconnected than ever before. Through it, we have
become more aware of the fact that threats to mankindor the tourism industry,
whether they are felt locally or globally, affect everyone at some level. The
importance of our inner well-being cannot be overstated. In addition to eating
well, exercising, getting enough sleep, and healing old wounds, we also need
to take care of our physical well-being. (Lusby, 2021). As conclusion, there is
no doubt that traveling has many positive effects on your mind and health. In
addition to stress reduction, self-reinvention, and boosting happiness, it has
many other benefits to offer.
As a matter of fact, traveling can be considered to be an enjoyable
experience on many levels. In addition to inspiring us to explore other
countries, experience new cultures, eat different foods, and meet new people,
the experience evokes a sense of wanderlust where we are inspired to
experience other destinations. Despite how amazing traveling can be, most of
us think we need to wait until we're older to explore a lot of the world. A
destination's international visibility and standing can increase as a result of
tourism, which can lead to economic gains, jobs, investment, and
improvements in travel infrastructure.
