On the other hand, it is considered that hosting an event might attract a huge number of visitors come to that country. Although, there are the minority of travellers who are lack of responsibility to preserve the environment, particularly in places that are not their motherland. This is a result of people who do not concerned about the consequences of what they did and having a low discipline.
