EFFECT OF CULTURE…..in tourism
Positive impact:
1- Reasonable foreign currency income for the state.
2- Slight development of tourism infrastructure.
3- Marginal increase in employment levels in industries related to the travel sector- hospitality, travel agencies and tour operators, transportation etc.
4- Sustainance of domestic airlines, charters and to some extent, shipping, to some degree.
5- Better awareness of foreign cultures and traditions, needs of tourists etc.
Negative impact-
1- Sex tourism, with aged foreigners flocking to some of the countries seeking young women as partners. Others come to indulge in pedophile activities.
2- Negligence of environmental considerations in some cases by both, foreign nationals and locals.
3- Some of the governments hurry to attract foreign tourists without the existence of a proper tourism infrastructure.
