Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourist industries. Why is this the case? Is it a positive development?

The tourism industry is being promoted in many countries which have a less developed economy. This process should ultimately lead to many economic benefits, but I believe that this development would have several serious drawbacks in terms of the environment.

On the one hand, this improvement should bring a wide range of advantages to local residents and even the government. First, people from the rest of the world visit cultural or historical attractions in developing nations and this means there are many opportunities for inhabitants. For example, related jobs would rely on visitors, from food and souvenirs to accommodation and travel. With regard to governments, an increase in visitor numbers to important sites and monuments would contribute to the economy of the country with the money they spend on a wide range of goods and services, such as paying money to these sites through the tax system. In other words, economic growth thanks to the tourism industry ensures that more money is available for governments to spend on infrastructure and public services and eventually promote citizens’ standard of life.

Despite the main advantages mentioned above, I believe that there are many major factors in the tourism industry that would lead to environmental damage. Most of developing nations are likely to pose threats to the environment like air pollution and waste due to an increasing number of visitors. In fact, in order to improve tourism, there would need to be a significant increase in the supply of goods and services and more investment in infrastructure such as roading which would increase gas emissions from factories and exhaust fumes from vehicles. Without strict regulations, these countries could produce greater quantities of waste and therefore have a much more devastating effect on the planet. In the long term, the tourism industry in these countries would have a detrimental effect by contaminating the earth and polluting rivers and oceans.

In conclusion, in order to expand tourists and at the same time avoid adverse impacts on the environment, many developing countries should invest fund, human and mostly impose effective management schemes in tourism industries.
