This essay will outline about activity which travel makers can do to decrease demerit effects on local culture and surroundings. Ċ There are several reasons that the existence of tourism can have a negative impact on the environment. Firstly, many buildings including roads, hotels, or parking-place damage natural habitats of animals and plants and spoil the landscape. Afterwards, from cultural perspective, maybe they can loss local traditions like fishing, farming, creating sculpture and many more. It is possible that local inhabitant are forced to work in the tourist industry. Next, tourism may cause increase of nature problems. It is because visitors who came from other cities or countries consider that they do not have to improve the environment. The main point is, the tourist destination do not have any policies or rule, so some holidaymakers tend to neglect the problem of around environment. Ċ In terms of solutions, I believe that the tourist should be responsible to reduce this problem. Every travelers should be given some rule before entering the tourism. So tourist tend more aware during travelling in every destination where they would visit. Next, tourist ability to pay tax rate for the tourism because it can be used to improves or repairs their facilities.
