Changes brought about by tourism

Do you need this?

In my opinion, there is always two sides to a coin, thus, I will talk about the positive and the negative aspects of tourism which has brought about change in Brazil.

I will start of with the positive points. Tourism, naturally boosts a economy. Brazil which is the eight largest economy in the world, and is a fast growing economy at the same time. An increase in tourism will lead the country to have a better standard of living, which will benefit the locals. Tourism results in creation of jobs, which means a reduction of unemployment rate for Brazil. With the growth of tourism, more people have jobs, there will be less poverty in the country. As Brazil is a country that is rich in culture, a growth in tourism will lead to more tourists being educated by experiencing the culture in Brazil, it is also beneficial for the local community.

Now to move on to the negative aspect. As the catchphrase goes, "the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer" this saying is used to discuss the economic inequality that occurs as a political effect of tourism. The difference in wealth between the locals and the tourist may generate apathy. Culturally, excessive visiting of the tribes may lead to an interruption in their daily activities as well as a dilution of culture.

I believe that when used correctly, tourism can be a powerful tool to boost a country' economy and improve the standard of living of the locals, however, when not monitored properly, can lead to side effects that are harmful for the entire nation.
