In recent years,more and more people choose travel to enjoy their lifes.Tourism is now the world's largest industry.There are two sides about tourism--the benefits and the costs.Let us think about this problem.
Firstly,ourism is one of the most effective ways of redistributing wealth, by moving money into local economies from other parts of the country and overseas. It brings income into a community that would otherwise not be earned.Also support community facilities and services that otherwise might not be developed.Not only encourages civic involvement and pride. It's provides cultural exchange between hosts and guests,but also encourages the preservation and celebration of local festivals and cultural events. Facilities and infrastructure developed for tourism can also benefit residents.And it is promote learning of new languages and skills.On the other side tourism attract visitors whose lifestyles and ideas conflict with the community's. An example may be the visitors' use of drugs and alcohol.It whould change individual behaviour and family relationships.
Secondly,fosters conservation and preservation of natural, cultural and historical resources. Tourism encourages community beautification and revitalization. Could be considered a clean industry. But tourism increase litter, noise, and pollution problem happened.And also it'sthreaten specific natural resources such as beaches and coral reefs or historical sites.
However,tourism helps diversify and stabilize the local economy. Provides governments with extra tax revenues.each year through accommodation and restaurant taxes, airport taxes, sales taxes,park entrance fees, employee income tax etc.. Creates local jobs and business opportunities. These include those jobs directly related to tourism (hotel and tour services) and those that indirectly support tourism (such as food production and housing construction). Tourism development of infrastructure (airports, roads, etc.) can cost the local government a great deal of money. And inflate property values and prices of goods and services.
