TOURISM TO FRAGILE ENVIRONMENTS SHOULD BE LIMITED

It is well known that tourism is a fundamental part of our society as many people live off this job. But tourism is not as good as it seems considering that it creates many environmental issued as well as economical crisis or political instability.

On the one hand, tourism is important because it is a great help to the economy of the country as tourists spend loads of money shopping, eating or sleeping. We can add that tourism attract more visitors so more jobs are created thanks to the hospitality of the country. It doesn't matter if it is a heavenly and unknown location or if it is a very populated city. Each country has its appeal so we can take advantage of it.

On the other hand, there is a negative outcome of mass tourism that afects the fragile environment as we consume more natural resources like water. In addition, many infrastructures such as streets, public transports, squares, airports must be adapted and improved to the quantity of people. As I see it, with the pass of years, landscapes change as more and more buildings must be built.

In conclusion, I feel that there should be limits for the tourist sector considering that there are fragile environments that we have to take care of.
