As travel become more common, people get used to the popular tourist sites, and start searching for areas that are off the beaten path. Consequently, they get to explore new areas instead of visiting the same places repeatedly; however, they occasionally disrupt the native environment and society. I believe this trend benefits everyone if there are some regulation added to it.
When tourist visit new areas, they generate new income for the local people. Furthermore, the money generated from them can be used to support the environment. This is because visitors pay for various services provided by the locals, such as places to stay, means of transportation, and market providing goods. Similarly, the money that the tourist sites collect will be used to help the environment and wildlife. For instance, in Ethiopia tourism is the main source of income for organizations that preserve wildlife in the country.
With that being said, if these tours lack a proper managment, visitors could disrupt the lives of people living in this areas, as well as damage the natural environment. Remote regions lack the facilities that exist in popular tourist destinations, thus travelers are more likely to brake local rules, such as wearing inapproprate clothing, going to restricted areas, and damaging historic buildings. In these cases it is better if they do not visit this areas.
In conclusion, I think tourists going to new places is beneficial to the natives because it creates a varity of opportunities for them, and it gives travelers another place they can explore. However, there needs to be an authority that manages this activities to protect the local environment and people.
