Prompt: Nowdays many people travel to foreign countries for pleasure . Some belive this travel has a negative impact on the countries travelled to . Ċ To what extent do you agree or disagree

Some people feel that travelling abroad for pleasure , which has now become a trend , will have negative consequences on host countries . I completely agree that a large number of tourists is often unbeneficial for countries travelled to. This essay will discuss how tourists are a potential risk for locations they visit and how economies should not depend on money from tourists trade . Ċ Firstly , having a large tourist trade can adversely affect the environment by causing pollution . Many visitors are not respectful and purposely cause damage , which can lead to the destruction of nature or historical places . Also , tourists can influence and change the local culture and this can lead to a loss of identity . A prime example can be Durres , a city of Albania , whose coast was totally polluted by tourists . A large number of visitors required extra accommodation that led to the construction of new buildings which changed the city's view drastically. Ċ Another point to discuss is that for many countries tourism makes up a large proportion of national income . It has the power to boost the economy but this does not always benefit the local communities . Besides, is very dangerous for all countries to depend on these incomes as it makes economies vulnerable is the case of a global crisis . For instance , Mycono's economy, which is maintained mostly by tourism , decreased by 70% due to Covid 19 . This is reflected in communities well-being as almost all locals were employed in this sector . Ċ In conclusion , tourism can bring environmental problems and can damage the economy in the long terms if it is considerably depended on its income .
