The trend of organizing structured tourism into rural communities and areas that are far from civilisation in on the rise. While I do agree that there are some positives associated with this emerging practice. I feel that the negative impact on the people and environment would be far worse.
People nowadays are looking for exciting and new experiences as the digitally connected world already is full of details and videos regarding the famous historic and tourist destinations. Hence the trend is emerging towards exploring remote areas and engaging with distant communities but, if more and more people start to visit such area this can lead to a situation where these tourists are disturbing the native peoples lifestyles. An influx of tourism can also impact the environment in which these communities live for instance when tourism in sub saharan Africa tribes increased new roads and airports were built to accommodate these new tourists which caused many native animal species to fled the nearby areas this not only impacting the ecosystem but also impacted the tribal people negatively as they were heavily dependent on the local flora and fauna for sustenance.
However, Increased tourism does have a positive outcome it brings in much needed attention towards the problems faced by these societies, like when the many tourist saw the destruction that the illegal farming had caused to the tribes in amazon, the outrage from tourists forced the government to enforce stricter punishment and increase surveillance which has shown to have impacted the region positively.
In conclusion, experience tourism is on the rise and if the negative aspects of this trend are not mitigated the inhabitants of these remote areas will suffer.
