country or an area is attractive and good weather is guaranteed.That money could be used wisely,like building new sightseeings or renovate the old ones. However, it brings us not only benefits, but also dangers. Some tourists don't respect the places they visit and they dump trash or vandalise.There is also a danger of overcrowding and epidemics. The most popular places to which people travel are mountains, seasides or warm countries. The advantage of tourism is the mutual cooperation of the tourists and people who are working in this business. I have traveld into two countries :Finland and Latvia.Both trips was class trips.In the future i would like to visit Italy and Scottland.Also i would like to take a trip to south-estonia,because i have never been there.
They make an effort to learn some of the language and speak to locals to find out about the history, traditions and customs of the country. They do this not because they feel like they have to, but because they care and want to.

They love to talk about different ways of life and share stories and experiences. The majority of Sinai's Bedouin now depend on tourism to sustain an income for their families. 5. Bedouin Weddings Bedouin weddings are usually held during a full moon, and are an excellent way to experience this unique culture. The weddings can last from 2 - 5 days with most of the celebrating happening during the night time. Much of the celebrating is done in the family homes.
