This essay presents positive and negative sides of the effect of tourism based on my perspectives.
In recent years, tourism become a dominant industry that defines the international scale of the country. Foreign travelers have a power drive a country’s economy positively, because they go all around the world and can be a great option to promote products or a company.

With improvement of the amount of tourists, job opportunities make up a large proportion of the national income and it benefits financially for the government.
