It is more and more popular for tourists to visit remote places and communities. Although there will be some drawbacks, it can bring positive developments for local people and environment.
It is true that the development of tourism in remote area will cause the pollution in environment and disruption for locals. The more tourists there are, the more waste will be produced. Some plastic rubbish thrown by visitors cannot be broken down in natural environment. Moreover, visitors’ coming will change local people’s lifestyle dramatically. However, the positive development to local people and environment will outweigh the negative one in this situation.
The flourish of tourism means more revenues for local people and more job opportunities. This enables villagers to improve their living standards. For example, the poor could buy more delicious and valuable food and some young people no longer have to leave their hometowns to seek employment and earn money in faraway places to support their families. They can find a well-paid job in the hometowns and have more opportunities to company with family. Besides, the prosperity of tourism enables local people to value their culture and publicise it.
Beyond the benefits for local people, it brings substantial advantages to environment. Before the flourish of tourism, the roads and the facilities in remote areas are in poor conditions. As the result, when governments gain the revenue from tourism, they will renovate road surfaces and invest in infrastructure, such as adding rubbish bins and building residential buildings. Also, they have more money to protect wild animals and valuable mountains and trees.
In conclusion, more people have a trip to rural area not only do they benefit local people but also benefit local area.
