Benefits of Tourism\n  \nThere are a number of benefits of tourism for both the tourist and the host destination.  On a large scale it offers a good alternative to some more destructive industries for generating income both on nationally and privately. \nThe tourism industry encompasses many different areas, so it also creates jobs in many different areas.  With tourism comes hotels, resturants, car rental agencies, tour companies, service stations, souvenier shops, sports equipment rentals, and much more.  All of this creates many different levels of employment for people in a given community. \n\nIn many places the introduction and development of tourism allows local people an opportunity for economic and educational growth that would not otherwise be available.  In addition, it allows both the tourist and the local community  a chance to experience other cultures, which broadens understanding. \n\nIf properly used, tourism generated income can be tremendously beneficial to the host country and it's local communities.  Tourism generated income can be used on a national and local level to better education, improve infrastructure, to fund conservation efforts, and to promote more responsible tourism. \n\n\n\nHarmful Impacts of Tourism\nAlthough tourism can be very beneficial, especially economically, to the host destination, there are many strings attached.  Tourism inevitably brings with it environmental and cultural degradation.  Though these impacts are closely enter twined, here they will be addressed separately. \n\nEnvironmental Impacts of Tourism \n\nTourism has vastly different faces, as different people enjoy different types of vacations.  An allocentric traveler would enjoy backpacking through a distant jungle with little more than the bare necessities while some people prefer a beach front luxury hotel with all the comforts andconveniences of  home. \n\nThe introduction of the "mega resort" has been one of the most economically successful and environmentally destructive additions to the tourism industry.  Large corporate owned resorts, which are usually based in countries other than those in which they exist, rarely give back to the local communities on which they depend and thrive.  More often than not, lower level positions such as maids, cooks, waiters, and bellhops are available to the local residents while upper level and management positions arereserved for corporate immigrants. \n  \nThese resorts take away from smaller scale, locally owned establishments and do not contribute to the local communities in a positive manner.  Large resorts are very rarely environmentally friendly, and in turn do not normally attract an environmentally conscious clientele. \n  \nNot only does heavy construction aid erosion (especially in tropical climates) but essentially, construction and development equals pollution.  Tourist generated pollution comes from things such as rental car exhaust and oil leaks, machinery used to build hotels, commercial airplanes, and airport construction just to name a few (McLaren, 1998). \n  \nTo a greater extent, after the completion of construction, tourists as a group consume a tremendous amount of natural resources and produce an equally tremendous amount of waste.  The influx of tourists into a community creates a transient but permanent population increase (McLaren, 1998).  Two major problems arise from a sudden population increase:  an over consumption of resources, and an over production of waste.  Over consumption causes problems such as water shortages, frequent loss of electricity, and over fishing of local waters.  The over production of waste is an ever-present threat to tourist communities.  this shows itself in the form of water and air pollution, liter, and the frequent overflow of sewage systems.  As a result of these types of waste many places experience loss of potable water, loss of local animal populations, and the spread of disease and infection. \n  \nThe degra

Advantages-you are closer to services.\nDisadvantages-you are closer to everyone else.\n\nI live exactly 15 minutes from a small town. I love where I live, my home is in a peaceful place that I wouldn't trade for living closer to town, at all. There is more crime in town, more noise, more crummy people...etc., etc.  15 minutes is not far at all.

In general, tourist places hit by terror attacks have less tourists - who want to be blown up during vacation. You can see how the number of tourists dropped in Israel and in Egypt.\n\nBut all over the world, the number of tourists in the last year was not less than a year ago.\n\nThe economic importance of tourism is undeniable. According to the World Tourism\nOrganization (WTO), international tourism generated $476 billion in 2000, a figure that accounts\nfor roughly one-tenth of global total tourism revenue, suggesting that, with domestic revenue,\ncurrent total tourism revenue could be as high as five trillion dollars.\n1\nFor many countries in the\ndeveloping world, tourism is a critical source of revenue generation and therefore a major\ncomponent of economic development, a relationship that rewards states when positive\nconditions such as a strong global economy exist. But what happens when negative conditions\nexist, such as terrorism?\nThe impact of terrorism on a state’s economy may be enormous, leading to unemployment,\nhomelessness, deflation, crime and other economic and social ills. According to Adam Blake and\nM. Thea Sinclair, two scholars who have studied the impact of the September 2001 al Qaeda\nstrikes on the U.S. tourism industry, “The contribution of tourism and travel to both\nindustrialized and developing countries is now so great that any downturns in the level of\nactivity in the industry are a cause of concern. The repercussions extend beyond activities\ndirectly associated with tourism, notably airlines, hotels and catering, to sectors that supply\nintermediate or final goods that are purchased by firms and employees in the industry, so that all\nsectors of the economy are affected to a greater or lesser extent.”\n\nSee more at http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:XLJvHMKhuGUJ:sand.miis.edu/research/student_research/Essner_Tourist%2520Terrorism.pdf+tourism+terrorism&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2

Tourism can be the best thing to happen for an area economically. When people travel to a country they need to spend money on hotel rooms, transportation, food, souvenirs, etc. Everywhere they go tourists are spending money. The more tourists there are the more jobs for the locals (cab drivers, sales people, hotel workers, tour guides, etc.). That means more income tax for the government which in turn can be spent on bettering the area (schools, roads, housing, services).

The benefit, as you see, is property ownership rights, apparently.  Singapore is a safe, corruption free country.  You could do worse.

There are no advantages or disadvantages, it's just a short term weather cycle.  It's like asking what's the advantage to rain?  It you're asking, it doesn't influece global warming or any crap like that.

Advantages: Improved crop yield with better nutrition of the food, curing diseases, preventing diseases.\n\nDisadvantages: For crops, the economic reality is that we produce too much food as it is.  America has an ENORMOUS amount of surplus food. Better nutrition? Nice idea but farmers want to grow more, not better.

Not much to go on. Depends on the kind of business.\nYou could offer something free or low cost to tourists. Give out maps of tourist areas. Offer something that they might need or want while touring. Or try turning your business into something of a tourist attraction itself. Make it into a unique/niche store or have something unusual there on the premises.\nApart from that, I'd need more info.

Advantage - People in low paying jobs will make more money.\n\nDisadvantages - Higher labor costs will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.  Increasing wages, costs and prices is the definition of inflation.  The ultimate result is that although wages are higher, buying power will either remain the same or decrease due to higher prices.

It has more disadvantages than advantages, but one of its advantages is the planning of the economy: A clear example of that are the examples of China and Mexico. In Mexico there is a democracy, so the discussion in congress stopped taking measures to attract investment. In China, the economy is centrally planned, so all the reforms needed to attract investment and create jobs were taken very fast, allowing the Chinese economy to grow at rates of 9% while Mexico was stuck.\n\nHowever consider the disadvantages of lack of freedom and that if an inneficient government get to power they can cause more damage.

Sounds like your trying to have someone else do your homework, well, I am bored enough so here goes\n\nTourism is the economic and cultural exchange conducted by foreigners visitors.\n\nPros: Money or economic revenue.\nEconomic Growth.\nFunds and necessitates preservation of cultural and historic sites and artworks.\nMakes a place famous and thus puts it "on the map"\nValidates a culture as rich, interesting, and valued\nOften leads to further economic ties. Business ventures.\nFunds new civic projects.\n\nCons:Exploits natural resources for outsiders.\nCreates a population of local service workers (hotels, restaurants,) who sometimes become second-class to the tourists and dependent on them for a livilyhood.\nObjectivies a group of people for entertainment, amusement or study (like African Bushmen...Masaii Warriors)\nTheft of cultural artifacts (Stonehenge, Tribal Masks, Ancestral Artifacts, Human Remains)\nCreates a stereotyped culture geared toward tourists (Hawai'i)\nProstitution (Your teacher may not like that but I've been to 5 continents and that is a REAL serious problem that should be addressed.)\nDrugs and Crime (Muggings) as well.\nLocals can't afford to live in their own communities (Aspen, Colorado, Providence Town, Mass.)\nSilly Tourists commit cultural faux pas that aggrivate the locals.\n(Although tourism does lead to social exchange and understanding +++)\n\n\nGood Luck with your Homework.
