Faster planes and flights are making it easier for people to travel more than before. Tourism could be a source of revenue for some countries. Although, it is beneficial, it has some disadvantages, too. Firstly, people who travel a lot as a tourist are in danger of being in contact with so many viruses that affect their health. It is not only make them badly sick but also cause a huge outbreak, once they return to their hometown. I remember several years ago, which a great number of people suffered and also died due to a new, unknown virus named SARS that began in China. It spread quickly in Canada as people who have spent some time in that country came back to Toronto.
Another problem is the increasing of crime rate. Tourists, who are interested to visit the attractive locations in an unfamiliar territory, will carry some valuable items such as cameras, jewelry and cash as well. This makes them an easy prey since they are not familiar with the rules of that society. Besides, the more tourists in some countries, the more serious concern will exist for the government related to the environment. Most of the historical buildings are in danger of being destroyed because of too many visitors. For example, Iran’s Chehel Stoon located in Isfahan, was closed for a while since it was very dangerous to be visited by people.
Overall, tourism industry could be very beneficial for some developing countries. However, it should not be expanded rapidly as its disadvantages outnumber its advantages.
