Describe the advantages and disadvantages of tourism in the modern world. Do you think that benefits of tourism outweigh its drawbacks?

 

It is a known fact that tourism is very crucial for world economy and it is a very important industry of the 21st century. Tourism is a double literally a double-edged sword. This essay will outline the diversities that tourism offers as the main merit and the loss and vandalism of old monuments as the main disadvantage.

India as a nation is a very diverse state with diametrically opposite castes, creeds, races, sexual orientations, socio-economics, physical statistics and ideologies. India is a completely heterogeneous nation state and it is indeed different from almost all the homogeneous countries across the world. There is no particular caste, creed or race in India. For example, every hundred kilometres that we travel in India is a new place altogether. The language, the castes, the beliefs, the customs and the traditions among other things all change. This has resulted in India being known as the most eclectic nation in the world and that India cannot be described but felt. India is an experience and one has to be there to know it. 

On the contrary, inconsiderate tourism has its share of demerits like loss and vandalism coming about from stealing, pilferage and smuggling of historical artifacts and the poor use of tourist sites. Many tourists are very oblivion to the mess and improper use of the premises they visit and are careless and do not respect the heirlooms of these nations. Some even go as far as totally destroying the places of interest without the least worry. For example, there have been frequent reports of classical paintings and national treasures being pilfered and smuggled from exhibitions and museums across the world. As a result, many of these places which would have been otherwise open to the general public have now been reserved for a few and many have shut down their viewing altogether.

In conclusion, tourism is definitely and amazing industry and also an awesome way to get to know people and cultures from across the world. Furthermore, tourism if handled and managed well is a beautiful vocation. However, it has its pros and cons and, in my opinion, I completely believe that the advantages of tourism as a whole far outweighs the disadvantages for it just needs better supervision and foolproof management.
