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).

The Government has noticed the environmental impact that tourism poses on the Reef and stepped in to help, by providing a sustainable solution to the issue at hand; a Long Term Sustainability Plan. This plan ensures that certain areas of the reef are protected and looked after. Even though Tourism contributes many negative impacts to the sustainability of the reef it helps keep it alive and running; so in all tourism is a beneficial factor to the Reefs sustainability. A recommendation that could be considered would be for the Australian Government to promote The Great Barrier Reef a lot more then they currently do; make sure international countries are aware of its existence. This way our country will have more and more tourists each peak season and more capitol will be coming into our economy. ( Australian Government, 2014)

Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, stretches over 120km along Queensland’s Southern Coast. The island was first included on the World Heritage list in 1992 because of its rare and outstanding natural features, including its pearl white beaches, colourful sand cliffs and tall rainforests. Although, many people believe that Fraser Island is beginning to become a concern due to the main issue, tourism. Four-wheel drives have a huge impact on the island, churning up sand almost constantly. Tourists have also become very friendly with the dingoes, which leads to several complications.

The primary challenges facing ecotourism management is to achieve a well-balanced progress to proceed towards a profitable and ecologically sustainable industry. For many countries and regions, tourism is seen as one of the major opportunities readily available to for local development, employment and revenue generation. In 2013, Malaysia registered 25.72 million tourist arrivals, which placed Malaysia as the 9th most visited country in the world (ITO,2014).

We talked about the first type which is the economic effect on the local community and the second type that is the social effect on the host community. In this part of our essay we will represent the last kind of effect on the local community by tourism. It is the environment effect on the local community. Tourism has positive and negative aspects in term of its impact on the host community. First point, tourism can help to protect the environment through reinvest some of profits, that generated by tourism, to the preservation of local environment and make it popular destination for holidays. However, it can cause pollution and damage in the environment through overuse of natural resources, such as water supply, beaches and coral reef. It also account for increased pollution through traffic emissions and littering. Additionally, tourist accommodations in general dump waste and sewage into seas and rivers. Second point, it might reduce some problems such as over-fishing by creating another source of employment. According to Tourism Concern, tourism account for more than eight per cent of jobs in the world wide and there are approximately two hundred million people work in the tourism sector on all sides of the world. (Tourism Concern, 2004). As a result a lot of people will abandon works in fishing and deforestations and tend to works in tourism industrialization. On the adverse side, it can harm the environment through polish off grass cover, harmful to wildlife and forests and grave local habitats. (BBC,
