- Advantages and Disadvantages of Mass Tourism
- Construction jobs go to locals, more jobs in those buildings are also provided
- Lots of things are imported, increasing the economic leakage of the country
- New facilities may open to locals
- Locals may not be able to afford new facilities put in place for tourists
- Tourists often prefer familiar food do it is imported creating more of a global footprint
- Because things are imported it's cheaper
- The natural environment attracts more tourists (sun and scenery)
- Tourist don't respect the local culture/tradition - semi naked, heads not covered. Tourists bring new problems such as crime and drugs.
- New infrastructure - hotels roads etc
- New development needs more land, local farmers will have to sell their land, less fod production
- Pollution - over development
- Tourism brings more jobs, more reliable wages.
- The jobs may be seasnal so locals will have to find other work during the rest of the year
