Positive And Negative Impacts Of Tourism On The Environment

=> Learn vocabulary for this entry first

Tourism is a flourishing industry that offers both positive and negative effects on a nation. Inbound tourism creates jobs, increasing the flow of money into the economy and contributing to the development of infrastructure such as airports, roads, shops, golf courses, restaurants, and hotels. It also generates revenue by attracting people to visit tourist destinations for vacations, weddings, or cultural celebrations.

 

However, tourism also has negative impacts. It leads to environmental destruction due to sudden events like political upheaval, terrorism, natural disasters, and adverse weather conditions, which can cause significant damage to the environment. The construction of airports, hotels, and pubs often involves cutting down trees, causing animals and birds to lose their shelter.

 

Tourism's expansion leads to overuse of water, habitat loss, and pollution. It fails to provide genuine travel experiences and social benefits, causing depletion of natural resources. Other negative impacts include soil erosion, habitat loss, increased pollution, and stress on threatened species. The tourism industry contributes to 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with transportation accounting for 90%.
