Tourism has become a commercial business, which has obvious benefits to the said economy, the environment and society. Often, the positive economic impacts persuade governments, companies and individuals to get involved with the development of tourism. Tourism creates jobs, both

However, the Travel and Tourism industry has not only some benefits and also drawbacks. Tourism can cause its share of problems such as social dislocation, loss of cultural heritage, ecological degradation, pollution and noise. For instance, much of the corals on Pulau Payar Marine Park, Langkawi, Malaysia were damaged due to mass arrival of tourists as the travel operators has allowed 600 to 700 tourists on the island at a time [4]. One hand, there is a push to bring in tourists dollars but on the other little is done to protect the precious biodiversity which is its main attraction. These problems have been recognized by many involved in tourism and have become

Social effects of tourism have an impact on the society of a certain area and focuses on their wellbeing. We live in a world where people must be able to keep with the modern world in order to survive and obtain an income, forcing a loss in certain traditions and culture. But tourism encourages people in rural areas to keep their traditions and embrace their culture. For example, the arts and crafts made by the Ndebele tribe in South Africa as a symbol of their culture can be sold to tourists.

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Tourist are attracted to Australia to explore the beauty and experience the culture. Although, tourist can change the original culture when trying to experience it! Like many other countries, Australia's culture needs to be protected from the effects of tourism. Tourism has had a negative environmental impact on Australia. Too many buildings and civilization has ruined the natural beaches. Also, much vegetation from the rainforest has been removed for walking trails. Another downside is the sand dunes are being destroyed by motored vehicles. Although, there is a positive affect for tourist. Seeing the world first hand has made people want to protect the Earth and become environmentally friendly.

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

In economic aspect, tourism can boost the economy of the developing countries by receiving tourist spending, the money received can further drive the income of different industries and sectors inside the economy, which can be explained by the Tourism Multiplier Effect (Leuterio, 2007). In fact, not only can tourism create employment in the tertiary sector, but also stimulate growth of the primary and secondary industries. To be precise, tourism in an area encourage the employment related to business supply services and building of hotels. Then, the employees of the tourism industry spend their income on other services in the local area, with increase in tax revenue at the same time. Therefore, improving the earnings of other

From a differing perspective, there are also those who see the presumed economic benefits of globalization and tourism as being less than optimal for communities and individuals living in still-developing and post-colonial regions. Bowen, Zubair, and Altinay quote, “Moreover, Erisman (1983), in the West Indies, extends the notion of economic dependency to cultural dependency, in which the hosts perceive their own culture as subservient to the dominant tourist norms and values, and in which sociocultural integrity is lost.” The prior statement once again suggests that intrinsically, in developing regions, there is an economic dependence on CHT. Due to the economic dependence that exists within these regions, some hosts may feel as though their culture is subdued by dominant forces within tourism and CHT. As mentioned before, culture has the potential to be redefined through tourist norms and expectations.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda.

Tourism culture is often done by someone or a group of people from the place where he or they live somewhere else in order to witness or enjoy the site of old, historical places, museums, traditional rituals, religious ceremonies, art performances, festivals, and more.

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.
