Many people believe that international tourism is bad thing for their country. What are the reasons? Solution to change negative attitudes.

Nowadays, the tourism industry is developing with a high rate, which brings a number of benefits for host countries. However, the attitudes of the local towards the global tourism is negative. There are several reasons for this issue, and governments should take steps to change the negative attitudes of the locals.

On the one hand, I can understand why people in host countries often consider international tourism as a cause of serious problems in their countries. Firstly, it may have negative effects on traditional custom and indigenous practices. Because of tourists may be insensitive toward the feelings of local and residents. For instance, some Western holidaymakers wear unsuitable clothes or explode too much skins when they come to visit some scared places in Viet Nam. Consequently, it could lead to negative attitudes and irritation in the local commodities. Secondly, tourists often pollute and litter beauty spots and several famous destinations such Cua Lo beach in Viet Nam, have been spoiled by this lack of respect for the local environment.

On the other hand, several solutions should be applied to change the negative attitudes of the local toward international tourism. To begin with, governments should explain for the local known the benefits of international tourism contributing to the development of local economy. They spend money in shops and restaurants and create jobs in service industries and this aspect should be publicized. For instance, in Viet Nam, the money earning from international tourism accounted for 30 % GDP in 2015. Furthermore, it would be better to enhance the awareness of tourist when they visited another country. Tourists should learn the local tradition as well as the taboo of the host countries, which not only help them avoid cultural conflict and but also establish a closer link with the host communities. As a result, it could lead to greater integration and mutual understanding.

In conclusion, only by addressing the concerns of local people will negative attitudes to international tourism be changed.
