Comment 03- Talking about tourism, all that glitters is not gold!

Tourism is travelling for pleasure or business and it can be domestic (within the traveller's own country) or international. Many places in the world rely heavily on tourism as a key source of income and employment. But, is tourism harmful?

On the one hand, one of the main advantages of tourism and the reason why it has been promoted so much, especially in developing countries, is that it brings in a lot of money. In addition, tourism provides many jobs because all hotels, bars, shops and restaurants need staff. Moreover, it gives the tourist destinations a chance to show themselves off and raise their profile in the world.

On the other hand, tourism can be harmful, too, because it can often cause environmental damage, such as greenhouse gas emissions from air travel, and lot of waste in popular locations. Tourism contributes to pollution.

In conclusion, tourism could be very important for the development of many countries. However, the increasing tourism activities could damage the environment and cause the value or the nature of different places to be vanished.
