Everybody loves to travel to new and exotic places to explore. Now what travelers don't realize
when we desire to explore other parts of the world, that we are doing good and bad things to the
economy, social, and the environment, especially in many developing areas around the world, but to
keep Tourism up and running it must be carefully maintained from the environment to the financial
areas.
Tourism can be both be a positive and a negative effect, but what tourism creates for communities
around the world are jobs, so that the economy can stay secure and to avoid turbulent to continue to
build mini businesses that are very important to developing areas that are in need for the money to
improve and make extra tax (Simm 1). Now the negative effects of tourism to the economy can be very
indiscriminate because of all of the construction to build a paradise for tourists, the money usually
lands flat on the government and the jobs that are created for the locals are unfortunately seasonal and
are very poorly paid and because of all of the buildings and construction the locals are hit with a
steeped increase on the cost of property, goods, and service. Nevertheless one of the biggest negative
effects on the economy in tourism is that the money produced does not always contribute to locals but

Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
