They purchase items which are uniquely available at those places. For example, many people come to Indonesia, especially Yogyakarta, where they produce a huge amount of handmade batik. These batiks can only be found in Yogyakarta and are considered special because those clothes are one of a kind and it is one of the national uniforms.
On the other hand, a huge amount of people coming to one country can make the surroundings dirty. Every country has their own policies and some places have their unique rules that maybe considered normal in other nations.

In South Korea, for instance, they have a system that requires them to sort the waste into several kinds using different colors of trash bag. This regulation is made to ensure the hygiene of the surroundings and has to be followed by everyone who is staying there.
In conclusion, the main benefits of having many people visiting the country for holiday exceeded the drawbacks because they can contribute to the state’s income despite dealing with some environmental problems.
