Mass tourism
styles are spreading all over the world.
The main drawbacks of mass tourism are damage of the
natural environment as visitors often leave a lot of litter in the
countryside. In addition, they prevent local people from living
peaceful and quiet life. Another negative effect of mass tourism is
if the cultures mix too intensely, for instance, old traditions of
local people are destroyed if tourists are changing them by time.
An additional disadvantage of tourism is prices. When the
loacation is popular then all kind of entertainment companies rise
their prices.
Taking everything into consideration, mass tourism has both
advantages and disadvanages. However, it seems that local
communities can benefit so much from it that the threats of mass
tourism seem quite innocent.
