The Rise in Tourism

The Rise in Tourism

The rise in tourism has occurred for many reasons.My first example is;

over the past few years an increasing amount of people in More

Economically Developed Countries (MED C'S) have much more time and

money to spend. Because of this, more people in MED C'S can spend more

time and money going on holiday. My second example is that transport

has been made much more comfortable, cheaper and quicker to use which

has made more people persuaded to travel, because lots of places in

the world can now be reached easily. My third point is that Tourists

might want to learn about new cultures and other, different life

styles which might increase the amount of tourism. My fourth and final

point is that most holidays come in "package holidays" or "family

packs" which are usually much cheaper, which will persuaded more

people to go on holiday.

There are many positive aspects of tourism.For instance, some Less

Economically Developed Countries (LED C'S) see tourism as a way to

make there country more developed so that they can become a more

economically developed country, this connects to the fact that tourism

can help LED C'S build there education system e.g. money to build

schools, money for teachers, schools, collage or university. Tourism

can help LED C'S medically e.g. hospitals, money for medicine and

treatment, hospital equipment, doctors and nurses and the money to

build hospitals. My second point is that tourism in LED C'S can help

more people get jobs and get more money in the country. Another good

aspect of tourism would be that; local teenagers can become

independent of there families by getting jobs, and providing money for

themselves.

Unfortunately, there are many negative aspects of tourism as well,

which include; tourists may not respect local customs traditions,

which might offend the local people and other people living in that
