Positive And Negative Impacts Of
Tourism On The Environment 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%. |
