In this rapidly evolving world, humans have seized more opportunities to explore the beauty of the planet, and such places on which they have never set foot. Gradually, these untamed destinations receive more and more people’s arrivals for multiple purposes. Regarding the merits and demerits of this global development, I strongly believe that the downsides are superior.
On the one hand, the capacity for traveling to natural spots is undoubtedly beneficial to some extent. Compared to a minority of travelers in the past who were able to discover these places, opportunities are available for a wide range of the demography nowadays to grasp; it is no longer the era when people merely witnessed the utmost beauty of nature through photographs, and citizens of modern time get the chance to observe the landscape directly bare-eye, meticulously exploring various aspects of the places, hence enhancing their knowledge of the world. Additionally, with the rapid pace of humans’ development, there is likely to be residents at these remote destinations, especially at the time when inner lands are becoming unable to bear an enormous population.
On the other hand, such a revolution also comes with problems to be concerned about. As remote-nature tourism, along with other industrialized activities commence to thrive, these destinations simultaneously face the dreadful threats of being spoiled: to promote the tourism industry, there is a high likelihood that changes to the lands will be made for recreational services; therefore, the regions are no longer kept pristine, falling into poor conditions. Remarkably, were these spots to be intact, under no circumstances would the balance of the ecosystem be influenced; ice-melting leads to rising sea altitudes, resulting in severe natural catastrophes which cause millions of deaths annually. Moreover, since people have already been facing untangled problems, attempts at nature explorations should instead be made in other aspects to overcome the issues.
In conclusion, it is undeniable that this development is conducive to humans; nevertheless, I contend that the threats of this can lurk around and progressively harm the natural environment.
