NEGATIVE EFFECT OF TOURISM

Tourism can bring many economic and social

benefits, particularly in rural areas and developing countries, but tourism is also associated with negative effects. Tourism can only be sustainable if it is carefully managed so that potential negative effects on the host community and the environment are not permitted to outweigh the financial benefits.

 2. Social Effects -- Negative -Visitor behaviour can have a detrimental

effect on the quality of life of the host community. For example, crowding and congestion, drugs and alcohol problems, prostitution and increased crime levels can occur. Tourism can even infringe on human rights, with locals being displaced from their land to make way for new hotels or barred from beaches. Interaction with tourists can also lead to an erosion of traditional cultures and values.

 3. Environmental Effects Negative

-Tourism poses a threat to a region's natural and cultural resources, such as water supply, beaches, coral reefs and heritage sites, through overuse. It also causes increased pollution through traffic emissions, littering, increased sewage production and noise.

 4. Cultural Effects

-"Culture" is one of the chief consumables of tourism, and experiencing unusual cultures can be educational for the visitor and highly profitable for the community. But tourism is a necessarily invasive process that thrusts traditional communities into the modern world, threatening their distinct lifestyles and cultural products.

 5. Political Effects

-Travel is touted as a means to close gaps between peoples, cultures and religions, but the extreme differences of wealth and lifestyle between locals and tourists in some areas can cause resentment.

 The Negative Impacts of Tourism can leads

* inflation

* leakage * infrastructure and incidental cost * economic dependence

*Inflation -can rise in general level of prices or a fall in the purchasing power of money. Therefore, tourism can increase the value or price of land, building etc. *Leakage - the high proportion of the money spent by tourists that leaves the country. Thus, leakage can cause in 3 different ways such as: 1. tourist purchase of goods and services that have been imported. 2. hotels and other tourism related businesses and organization import goods/foods as the local product are not available or not up to the required standards 3. profits are repatriated by foreign owners of hotels and other services.

*Economic dependence - Counties who rely heavily on tourism industry can be dangerous, this can lead the tourism to changes overnight because of the natural disaster, terrorism, changing consumer taste and economic recession in the source of the country

Negative effect of Tourism

Negative impacts from tourism occur when the level

of visitor use is greater than the environment's ability to cope with this use within the acceptable limits of change. Uncontrolled conventional tourism poses potential threats to many natural areas around the world. It can put enormous pressure on an area and lead to impacts such as soil erosion, increased pollution, discharges into the sea, natural habitat loss, increased pressure on endangered species and heightened vulnerability to forest fires. It often puts a strain on water resources, and it can force local populations to compete for the use of critical resources.
