         <description><![CDATA[<div>Writing Exercise<br>.<br>International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there are concerns about the impact on local people and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the benefits?<br>.<br>In my opinion the profits generated from international tourism outweigh the resulting losses. The first advantage is that the area visited is better known by foreign tourists. this is because the area is indirectly promoted by tourists who came before to the next prospective international tourists.<br><br>The second advantage is that the regional income is helped by this international tourism. Some products from the surrounding community that are sold in the tourist area are much in demand by foreign tourists and then used as souvenirs. this increases the opinion of the area.&nbsp;<br><br>Another advantage is that through international tourism it opens up employment opportunities for local residents such as providing accommodation for international tourists by local residents in the area. Apart from that, from international tourism, local residents can also introduce the local environment in the area to international tourists.<br><br>However, of the many advantages that come from international tourism, it is not possible for local residents to avoid the losses caused. these losses may not have much impact on the local residents and the surrounding environment. but if left it will be a problem that threatens the popularity of the tourist area. The resulting losses include the accumulation of waste generated from international tourists who do not comply with regulations. Another disadvantage is the modern influence that affects the environment and local residents.<br><br>In my opinion, these losses can be minimized by local residents by giving advance directions to international tourists and also maintaining the existing environmental conditions so that international tourists can experience the life and the original local environment.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>In my opinion, the advantages outweight the disadvantages, because the benefits obtained by the state and local people are more than the losses obtained, both for local habits and to the environment. Some of the advantages of international tourism. First, it opens up a lot of job opportunities. second, the place is becoming more famous in the world. Third, state income will increase. fourth, local people will have a better life, because of the many jobs.<br><br>Then for the disadvantages obtained from the international tourism are the lifestyle or habits of local people that may slightly change due to the entry of foreign cultures. then tourists can take something that should not be taken at a tourist spot.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We all know that international tourism has a lot of benefits, but there are also disadvantages of international tourism. However, in my opinion, the benefits of international tourism play a huge role either for the local people or the tourists.<br><br>Firstly, international tourism can be the livelihood for the local people. When a country opens a place as an international destination and it becomes famous, there will be enormous foreign tourists coming to that place to have a vacation there. From this situation, local people can operate a restaurant, lodge, and many tourism needs around the destination place.<br><br>Secondly, international tourism also can make the country becomes more famous than before because there will be a lot of foreign tourists coming to that country. Furthermore, this situation also can help the country to increase its national income.&nbsp;<br><br>Thirdly, international tourism is also beneficial for tourists. By traveling abroad, we can develop our knowledge because there will be new knowledge that we can get by traveling. For example, when we travel to a historical place, we can know the background story of that place from the tour guide, and it surely will increase our knowledge too.<br><br>Lastly, by traveling, especially traveling abroad, we can also get enormous experiences. Also, from these experiences, we can learn about something, and it will become a lesson for us.&nbsp;<br><br>From that explanation, we can sum up that the advantages of international tourism outweigh the disadvantages. However, as tourists, we also should realize that we must aware of the environment of the destination place. It can be done by throwing rubbish into the dustbin, do not harm the flora and fauna, and there are many things that we can do to protect the environment. Therefore, go travel as long as you can, and you will get enormous experiences from it.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>20200810055<br><br>International tourism does bring great benefits to many places.&nbsp; At the same time, there are also concerns for local people and the environment.&nbsp; There are many negative impacts that occur.&nbsp; As the increasing number of visitors makes this sector an increasingly important source of emissions.&nbsp; The impact of tourism on carbon emissions based on 2005 data, the global tourism sector is almost 5% of total carbon emissions.&nbsp; Tourism can contribute to pollution in the same way as many other sectors of the economy, namely air pollution, solid waste and liquid waste.&nbsp; Tourism activities are in dire need of natural resources that may be very scarce such as the use of water resources, forests, energy, food, materials, and other resources.&nbsp; For example the excessive use of air by tourism businesses such as for visitor use, swimming pools, garden maintenance etc.&nbsp; In dry areas, water use is of particular concern as visitors tend to consume twice as much water on holidays as they do at home.&nbsp; In addition to the impact of tourism on the environment, it also causes local people to influence how people act in their daily lives such as: overcrowding of people at a certain time, traffic jams, overuse, loss of use and benefits of land for social life, loss of other businesses, pollution of design.&nbsp; architecture, crimes against tourists or by tourists.&nbsp; In addition, there is a positive side of the impact of international tourism, namely international tourists know a tourist destination.&nbsp; This international tourism activity can also generate employment through various avenues such as hotel employees.&nbsp; businesses increase national income through taxes, while visitors may be taxed directly, such as taxes or increase taxes.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br></div><div>As we know that people have different opinions about the impact of international tourism. Some of them agree that international tourism gives positive impacts, but some of them agree that international tourism gives negative impacts. In my opinion, so far international tourism has an important role to expose the place is in each place. Then, international tourism gives positive impacts. The first positive impact is personal views, it can give time for relaxing and having fun when visiting a new place. The second positive impact is to learn something new, for example, people can learn about culture, language, etc. The third positive impact is it will increase the economic sector in local areas. People may rely on tourism for their income, for example, restaurants, hotels, etc.&nbsp;<br>Besides, international tourism has a negative impact, it is pollution. Exactly air pollution, because there are many transportations that they use. Then, lack of awareness to keep the environment, we can find some people throwing rubbish everywhere.<br><br></div><div>In conclusion, international tourism can give benefit the personal and economic sectors. However, tourists and local people should increase their awareness of the environment.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Tourism has an essential role in the economy in Indonesia, both for citizens and international tourism. So there are many advantages possessed by the tourism sector. So, what are the disadvantages of international tourism that weigh the advantages?<br><br></div><div>International tourism brings good and bad impacts on tourism in Indonesia. However, in my opinion, the good effects given by international tourism outweigh the terrible consequences.<br><br></div><div>The first good impact is international tourism can improve the Indonesian economy because it is a source of foreign exchange for the country (Lumaksono et al., 2012). In addition, citizens around tourist destination can also manage and increase ticket and food prices to adjust to the dollar exchange rate. There is also international tourism, which often builds companies in Indonesia, such as bars and restaurants near a tourist destination, so that it can indirectly create jobs for citizens. The last good impact is that international tourism, which has come to Indonesian tourism, can indirectly promote Indonesian tourism to their relatives and friends on social media so that international tourism will increase who will visit Indonesian tourism.<br><br></div><div>Besides the good impact above, there are harmful impacts of the arrival of international tourism. Such as several times, there has been news that international tourism takes the property of others, such as stealing money or goods. Reported (Liputan6dotcom, 2019) that a global tourism family is stealing in Bali.<br><br></div><div>Based on the bad and good impacts of international tourism on tourism in Indonesia, there are more good impacts than bad impacts on the economy in Indonesia. As an Indonesian citizen with a very productive tourism sector from Sabang to Merauke, we need international tourism and citizens to advance tourism and maintain tourist places.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Tourism is a important sector in Indonesia. Because of that made a lot benefits for Indonesia.&nbsp;<br>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>In my opinion, its that gonna happen if the tourist destination management not to be educated, And also to be prepared as well. So many hidden gem destination in Indonesia are ignored by the goverment, they just put the low skill local residents to manage that ,without being educated about tourism, and then after tourist visit that place many of them are dissapointed, and the Environment are damaged by tourist.&nbsp;<br><br>And so, Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages? Yes of course, but if we are preparing as well, and the goverment are supporting and giving the rules and regulations, that will be easier to overcome the disadvantages. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Tourism is not foreign to the public, which is something that many people like to relax and unwind with friends, relatives, and family. As has happened today, tourism has become increasingly reliable and is used as an alternative source of income for countries, not including Indonesia.<br><br>Currently, tourism activities are overgrowing in the world. The exhaustion of living by work makes people now increasingly need tourism as a means to unwind. Tourism has both positive and negative impacts on an area. Tourism has become an industry and has a significant effect on a country. One of the impacts is that tourism in a room can employ many local people, from working in hotels to selling knick-knacks on the beach. The undeveloped tourism industry in a less developed country will have a much more significant impact on the unemployment problem. In addition, profits generated from tourism can improve regional infrastructures, such as improving roads and airports. They can build facilities intended to increase the number of tourists and benefit residents. Not only positive impacts but the development of tourism also hurts an area. The increasing number of tourists brings problems such as littering, pollution, and erosion of the trails. All of this takes time and money to clean and repair. An overseas investment, such as a luxury hotel, can mean that money will return to the home country. The hotel can also profit from local and foreign tourists.<br><br>That way, we must be more selective in terms of regulations and business permits so that our country can take full advantage of our tourism potential. We can reduce the negative influence as much as possible, even though it cannot be eliminated.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>International tourism has both positive and negative effects on Indonesian tourism. However, I believe that the positive advantages of foreign tourism outweigh the negative effects. The first advantage is the local people will have a lot of jobs. The tourism business covers a wide range of tourist destinations, allowing the majority of a country's people to work. Hotels, car rental agencies, restaurants, tour businesses, souvenir stores, and equipment shops are among the areas where people work. Another some advantages that occur from international tourism are the economic country will be increase, the country will be famous, increasing income the local people and that foreign tourism contributes to area GDP. Some things from the local community that are marketed in the tourist area are in high demand by international visitors and are then utilized as mementos. This improves the area's reputation.<br><br></div><div>Beside the current state of the tourism sector, the problems of tourism may far outweigh the benefits of a country. The first factor to examine is the impact on the environment. The number of people occupying a location grows dramatically when a country has a strong tourist attractiveness. As a result, carbon monoxide emissions from planes and cars may rise, negatively impacting the country's ecology. With high foot traffic and human contact, many countries with old remains or natural attractions face loss or degradation. Furthermore, when there is an overabundance of humans, flora and fauna can decline in certain locations or change their growth and migration patterns. Foot traffic and constant touching can also cause old structures to deteriorate over time.<br><br></div><div>We can conclude from this reasoning that the benefits of international tourism outweigh the negatives. However, as tourists, we must be conscious of the destination's ecology.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Everyone has different thoughts about the impact of international tourism. Meanwhile, I believe that international tourism has a good impact on our lives. But I think the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages.<br><br></div><div>On the one hand, international tourism has many advantages. First, from an economic perspective, tourism can bring in money because people from all over the world travel to different countries. The revenue generated can constitute a significant share of private, local, and national revenues. Also, tourism creates a lot of jobs for local people. They can make money from selling souvenirs, foods, drinks, and tourism services. Second, from a cultural perspective, tourism can strengthen and exchange culture. The interaction between tourists and local communities is an added value for tourism. For local people, it can build confidence in the culture favored by tourists. It depends on how local people interact and introduce their culture. Being cross-cultural can promote international connections which can lead to more business and cultural collaboration in the long term. Then from an environmental perspective, the environment is the first thing that tourists see. Therefore, with international tourism, local people try to protect their country and change lifestyles that can damage the environment, such as maintaining environmental cleanliness, maintaining clean water quality, and learning about the culture and traditions of their country.<br><br></div><div>On the other hand, international tourism has more disadvantages than advantages. From an economic perspective, tourism can cause economic instability. Indeed, tourism can generate a lot of income but for tourists and local people, it has consequences for paying higher prices for services, food, drinks, and lodging. Also, people cannot fully depend on tourism because of fluctuating tourism conditions depending on economic factors, safety, and comfort factors. Work in tourism also includes seasonal work, for example, a tour guide can work if there are tourists. From a cultural perspective, tourism can cause changes and cultural clashes in society. Tourists often lack respect for local traditions and culture, refuse to follow local dress standards, get drunk in public, or behave rudely or inappropriately towards residents. It is important to respect local customs and traditions because other people will not always respect our culture. Also, these changes depend on the community, there are those who want to go towards modernization by following the culture of incoming tourists. Usually, changes can happen without people realizing it. From an environmental perspective, tourism can cause environmental damage. Tourists will often cause damage during their visit as littering can cause erosion, pollution, forest fires, and loss of natural habitat.<br><br></div><div>In conclusion, I think the potential harm of international tourism to the environment and culture outweighs the possible economic benefits. The government should enact laws to protect the environment and local culture.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is a very influential thing for a country.&nbsp; The advantage of international tourism is that it can help develop the economy in an area that is a tourist spot. The question is whether in the environmental scope the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages? &nbsp;<br><br>I don't think that's true. The benefits are more, because international tourism has several advantages that help develop the region, such as helping the local economy, reducing unemployment, and of course for foreign exchange. Not to mention if there are content creator about tourism and they upload on internet, more tourists will come to Indonesia.&nbsp;<br><br>Then for losses in environmental problems until now there are still rare cases that cause environmental damage. If there is a problem maybe it's about too high tariffs at tourist attractions and poor tourism management, of course that has been a problem from the past in Indonesia.<br><br>The conclusion is that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in international tourism because it can bring benefits to the development of a region and a country.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Many locations have benefited greatly from international tourism. Simultaneously, there are worries about the impact on local residents and the environment. Do the drawbacks of foreign tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>That does not appear to be the case. The benefits are greater because international tourism provides various benefits that help the region develop, such as boosting the local economy, lowering unemployment, and, of course, generating foreign cash. Not to mention, if there are tourism content creators who post their work to the internet, more visitors would visit Indonesia.<br><br>Then, for environmental losses, there are still uncommon occurrences that cause environmental damage. If there is an issue, it might be due to overpriced tourist attractions and bad tourism management, which has been a concern in the past in Indonesia.<br><br>The conclusion is that the positives of international tourism outweigh the downsides since it may promote the growth of an area and a country.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?</div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion Along with the development of the times, there are many new tourist attractions that are increasingly recognized by many people, including international tourists. Therefore, some people think that international tourists bring a lot of benefits and positive impacts for local residents. Such as helping the economy of local residents by visiting tourist attractions, thus helping some people who do not have jobs so that they have jobs, helping the economy of the community around tourist attractions, capturing some moments that will be shown to their family or friends so that other people can visit these tourist attractions, access towards an increasingly updated tourist spot. As for some of the negative impacts that can be caused by some tourists such as littering, not obeying the regulations in force at the tourist site, causing excessive pollution (water, air, sound and soil) increasing excessive infrastructure which causes the need to reduce flora and fauna habitats that can be harmful to tourists. cause fatal damage.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, international tourists make many benefits for tourist attractions, but international tourists and local tourists must be aware of and maintain tourist attractions so that tourist attractions can continue to be enjoyed by our children and grandchildren in the future. Because taking care of tourist attractions is an awareness that exists within ourselves.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br><br>The most obvious positive effect of international tourism&nbsp; is the income it brings to the economy. Most tourists spend money for accommodation, food, entertainment and travel; hence all these service fees go straight to the local providers' pockets. These findings can be used to improve the quality of services for tourist as well as to improve local inhabitants' quality of life. For example : municipals can spend more money on health care and infrastructure for their citizens. Therefore it is highly advantageous to have foreing tourist for locals living in the vicinity.<br><br><br>Multiple advantages was brought up to many places on earth by international tourism. Various debates around whether this action advantages exceed the disadvantages such as danger on the environment. in my opinion, i strongly believe hat the pros of world-wide tourism outweighs its disadvantages, because of the great income received by internationals the country can work on fixing the cons.<br><br>In conclusion, even though, travelling across the globe has its advantages, there are worries with regard to its negative effects In my opinion, Although having international tourism rings some degree of harm to the environment and increase the living cost of the local populace, I believe it provides more than it takes thanks to the financial impact.<br><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is a very influential thing for a country.&nbsp; The advantage of international tourism is that it can help develop the economy in an area that is a tourist spot. The question is whether in the environmental scope the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>As far as I can see, I am assuming that the advantages is been greater and usually shown than the disadvantages. Tourism attraction that available of course will helps the local people. The visitor usually spend much money and it will increase the income for the local people.&nbsp;<br><br>The common problem about environmental become unstable or even get worse it is usually caused by the tourist and local people too. Sometimes, we cannot judge people without any accuse because maybe the tourist have a better attitude than the local people and what we should do is to make sure that we as a local people shown a positivity throughout our daily and it will impact the tourist to do the same thing.<br><br>To sum up, international tourist can bring many positivity to local tourism but on the other maybe there are some unwanted thing that happened. To fix that, it can be started by ourselves to become a good example to the tourist and for the tourism attraction management I think that they need to have a good service and hospitality to their customer.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Tourism is a travel activity carried out by a person or group of people from their area of ​​origin to a tourist destination. In addition, tourism activities are very useful for our lives. With this activity, we can express our very deep emotional feelings, in the form of eliminating boredom, inner burdens or thoughts and others. The increasing tourism sector in international tourism has an important role in the economy of a country.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The tourism sector plays an important role in the economy, both as a source of foreign exchange earnings as well as job creation and business opportunities. Tourism is part of the industrial sector with good prospects because it has enormous potential to be developed. This tourism is also one of the sectors that provide the largest contribution to the country's foreign exchange earnings through foreign tourists.<br><br></div><div>This tourism activity is related to a very complex social phenomenon from within a person concerning aspects of his life such as: sociological, psychological, economic, ecological and so on. Among the above aspects, one aspect that greatly influences tourism activities and is very important is the economic aspect. Because even though there is a desire or urge to travel, if it is not supported by the economic aspect, the desire will not be realized. The number of foreign tourist visits to Indonesia is influenced by the country of origin of the tourists and the tourism prices of competing countries. Likewise with their spending while in Indonesia so that the amount of foreign exchange entering Indonesia will increase when the country of origin of tourists and or the price of tourism in competing countries increases. This is an advantage of international tourism even though the price of Indonesian tourism in the eyes of foreign tourists has a negative effect on the number of visits and expenditures.</div><div><br></div><div>International tourism has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. Various social restrictions have made the level of tourist visits decrease drastically. Globally, there has been a decline in foreign tourist arrivals in various countries by up to 700 million people. Based on the news I read, the global tourism sector suffered a loss of USD 730 billion, said Indef's Senior Economist, Faisal Basri in the Economic Outlook of KAHMI Preneur. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought international air travel to a near halt for the past 2 years. That's because many countries refuse to allow non-essential travel. Losses in the tourism sector as a result of this are estimated at US$2.4 trillion.<br><br>Then, do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?</div><div>Thus, in my opinion the conclusion is that international tourism has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, for now tourism is experiencing more losses than gains after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, not only because of these problems, but also tourist problems which sometimes have a bad impact on the tourist environment. To overcome this problems, the SDGs can help guide the tourism industry to make more sustainable choices. For example, a strategy by hotels, cruise ships and restaurants to buy as much fresh produce as possible from local farmers would shorten the supply chain and save the cost or environmental risk required to carry existing food. This will also enhance local economic development.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>I think the positive impact of international tourism will outweigh the negative impact. With international tourism, it will open up wider employment opportunities for residents, restaurants, tourist attractions, hotels, and even motorbike rental services will be sold by international tourism. And it could also be that the amount of international tourism in the area can make the local people's economy better.<br>However, the increase in international tourism also continues to have negative impacts such as reduced agricultural land to build tourism facilities, and also the surrounding population works more in tourism making them compete with each other.<br><br>To sum up, I feel that the positive impact of international tourism outweighs the negative impact.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is a fact that today international tourism has become a widespread and extensive industry, and many cities have taken advantage of it. However, some are concerned that this activity will adversely affect the local community. The following essay will discuss the pros and cons of international travel. However, I believe it has more advantages than disadvantages.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;On the one hand, some argue that international tourism is detrimental to local society. The main reason is that they worry that the local<br>environment will be distracted as more and more people come to the place. For<br>example, Mount Everest is one of the top destinations for international<br>visitors, but the amount of trash generated by tourists is reported to have<br>increased rapidly in recent years. As a result, it can have a catastrophic<br>impact on the local environment. Another reason is that tourists will bring<br>negative culture to the locals. For example, some Westerners like to drink<br>alcoholic beverages, and the elders in the local society fear that the locals<br>also enjoy drinking these types of alcohol. Finally, dealing with a terrorist attack is another negative aspect of<br>international travel according to many.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;On the other hand, many people believe that traveling abroad<br>for leisure activities will bring a lot of benefits to the destination. First, it creates many job opportunities for locals, as<br>some of them may become tour guides or run small businesses. Second, when<br>foreign tourists come to a country, they spend money on different activities.<br>This means they will also bring in revenue to local governments in the form of<br>taxes. As a result, the government will have enough budget to maintain the public facilities around the facility as well as the local environment.<br>Finally, it also attracts investors to build resorts and hotels in the<br>surrounding area. The development of these places will attract many jobs not<br>only from the region but also from other cities and countries.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;In summary, despite its negative effects, I personally<br>believe that global tourism industries will bring more benefits to local people<br>and communities. It stimulates the economic situation of the country and creates<br>job opportunities for local people. As for the negative effects, it really<br>depends on how the government will establish clear regulations and implement<br>them.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is generally owned by every country. This is a progress of the development of globalization. Indonesia also has a lot of international tourism such as Bali, Borobudur Temple, Komodo Island, etc. The existence of international tourism has both positive and negative impacts.<br><br>The positive impacts of the development of international tourism are as follows. First, when tourism can be recognized internationally, the country's popularity will increase. This can provide benefits for the country to increase relations and work together. Second, the economy in the area will increase so as to minimize unemployment because both natural resources and human resources can develop. Third, the presence of many visitors from many countries can provide broad insight to the community and improve the quality of thinking and knowledge of the local community. Therefore, we Indonesians should be grateful because we can also enjoy the positive impacts of international tourism that we have.<br><br>In addition to the positive impacts, the following are negative impacts of international tourism. With many visitors from various countries, it can give a cultural influence that is not necessarily good and in accordance with the customs of the country and it is possible that the culture they bring has a bad influence on the environment and society. Furthermore, many people have also switched from their traditional jobs to the world of tourism. In fact, traditional work does not need to be abandoned. It would be better if these traditional jobs could be developed in the world of international tourism. Another impact is that the number of vehicles makes the tourism area crowded and congested. It can produce non-environmentally friendly air pollution. Then, if the international tourism area is not managed properly, it can damage the tourism environment as well.<br><br>In conclusion, everything has a positive and negative impact. Thus, as the younger generation, it would be better if we could further develop the existing positive impacts and minimize the negative impacts into a better thing.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is the one of globalization and upgraded technology effect. It brings many effects to people especially for local people. With new culture that comes from outside it makes the local culture are faded. Many foreigners come to local tourism place but don't respect the culture and bring their culture that collide the locals. The big foreign business also being the one of disadvantages in international tourism. Big foreign business will monopolized the market and makes small local business drown. The most worst disadvantage international tourism that outweigh the advantages is pollution that damaged the tourism area, This is serous problems in tourism that people can't handle their trash to be throwed at right place. Damaged place will make bad environment and the tourism activity will fade anytime. People should be wise to keep their good behavior either they are travelling or running local tourism because if they have bad behavior, the international tourism will give people really bad effect in the near or long term.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Currently, international tourism is not a new thing, it even looks more developed than before. With the development of international tourism, many countries are taking advantage of this, one of them is Indonesia. This country has many places for international tourism. This certainly has a positive impact as well as a negative impact on the country itself.<br><br>If viewed from a positive perspective, the existence of international tourism is very helpful for the community's economy, especially for areas that have tourist attractions that are visited by many tourists. Then, Indonesia's diverse culture can be more widely known not only in the country but also abroad. However, this international tourism certainly has a negative side as well. For example, sometimes they do not obey the existing regulations. Many tourists ride motorbikes but do not wear helmets or may not even have a driver's license. In addition, there are also tourists who are already comfortable living in Indonesia so that they live and settle illegally in this country.<br><br>Thus, the conclusion that can be drawn from the existence of international tourism is that it is more profitable than the disadvantages.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The development of technology and information has an impact on the development of this type of tourism. One of them is international tourism. International tourism is a tourism activity that exists or is developed in many countries in the world. The existence of international tourism provides great benefits for many places and fields. At the same time, there are concerns about the impact on local people and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the benefits?</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In my opinion, with international tourism, the benefits are greater than the losses. The first advantage, state finances will be helped by the arrival of many tourists from various countries. Expenses issued by foreign tourists will be a source of income for the country. Furthermore, local residents will be helped by international tourism, where local residents can work so as to reduce unemployment. work that can be done by local residents such as, selling food or souvenirs and others. In addition to the economic sector, international tourism also provides benefits to the cultural sector, where indigenous local cultures will be introduced to foreign tourists who visit. this can also be a special attraction for tourists.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In addition to profits, tourism also provides disadvantages. some of the losses due to international tourism such as environmental pollution resulting from the behavior of tourists who do not comply with applicable regulations.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp;The existence of international tourism basically provides benefits that are greater than the disadvantages in terms of economy. This advantage can be seen from the development of the tourism industry for the local community so as to create employment opportunities for the community such as opening homestay accommodation, hotels, restaurants, tourist agents and facilities intended for international tourism which can increase income. This also does not rule out the possibility that international tourism has a detrimental impact, especially in terms of culture and security. The more international tourism, the more foreign tourists who come, making the area congested and causing environmental problems and even the security of the local area that must be borne by the local community. To conclude, international tourism has played a good role in promoting local tourism to the world and increasing income, while there is a loss for local residents related to environmental and local safety issues.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism has developed into a huge industry that now supports many cities and even entire countries. Because international tourism is currently influential somewhere. Meanwhile, local residents and the environment are concerned. On the other hand, some people are concerned about the harmful effects of tourism on indigenous peoples. International tourism, on the other hand, in my opinion, will provide more benefits than disadvantages.<br>The world's large-scale industry is always a flawed side that harms society. International tourism is also affected. From an environmental point of view, international tourism, whatever the reason, can damage the environment. The international tourism sector requires a large number of structures, which can threaten the habitat of many animals and natural vegetation. It produces pollution everywhere because of the extraordinary construction of the building. The international tourism business can sometimes have a negative impact on a country's cultural assets. Tourism forces individuals to work and provide services that are not directly related to guest demands. As a result, cultural values ​​can be threatened.<br>People, on the other hand, believe that traveling abroad will benefit both visitors and destinations. From an economic point of view, foreign tourism has many advantages as it provides various job opportunities for local residents, such as becoming a tour guide or starting a tourism-related business. International tourism, in the eyes of visitors, is a fantastic opportunity to get whatever they need. Visitors can have fun, learn about the destination's traditional culture, and spend their time participating in fun activities. The government will also have sufficient budget to maintain the environment and facilities due to the visitor tax.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is an advantage for every country that has it. However, apart from the benefits there are also impacts on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantage?<br><br></div><div>In my opinion, International tourism has provided many valuable benefits to a country compared to the disadvantages. The advantage of international tourism is that it can increase the economy and income of the country with many tourists from abroad who come to visit it. The large number of visitors on tours makes the surrounding environment have additional income by selling food, and souvenirs, etc. Then, local residents can also get work because there are more jobs. In addition, tourism opens up many business opportunities and income such as hotels, villas, restaurants, transportation and others. Apart from economics, there is also a culture that is known by many people from various countries. Then, international tourism of course makes these tours more famous by many foreign tourists, such as when there are tourists who visit these tours and then tell their experiences either orally directly, through videos such as vlogs, or online writings such as blogs, thus making other people are interested and can increase the number of tourists on the tour.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Then we must know that every benefit must have its risks. Like when there is international tourism which opens up many advantage but also creates disadvantage. Among them, in the environment, many tourists will definitely have a lot of pollution caused such as garbage, then the possibility of damage to the surrounding environment as well as if on natural tourism can cause damage to their habitat. Then tourism, which has more and more visitors, creates a lot of new buildings, which creates a lot of new land clearing and increasing population density. In addition, the number of foreign tourists can affect the culture of the local population. Some tourists do not follow the existing rules on the tours they visit, they do not respect the existing rules and culture. Then the mixing of many cultures by tourists from outside makes the local people's culture fade and they can be influenced and follow outside cultures without first filtering which ones are good and which are bad.<br><br></div><div>So in conclusion, every advantage must have a risk. However, in international tourism, there are more benefits to be gained and the disadvantage can be overcome or anticipated.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The development of Indonesian tourism is currently being considered by foreign tourists because Indonesia has many good tourist destinations and beautiful culture so that many foreigners want to visit Indonesia.<br>In my opinion, there are more benefits because with international tourism, local residents have more new jobs in providing tourism services or trading. However, the negative side still exists, such as the erosion of indigenous Indonesian culture due to the new introduction to foreign cultures brought by foreign tourists to Indonesia. therefore, we must always take care of ourselves so as not to be influenced by outside cultures.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Indonesia is one of the large countries that have so many beautiful tourist destinations to visit. And it makes a lot of people from other countries interested to visit. As we know it brings various impacts on the local inhabitants and the environment. One of the positive impacts of this situation is because there are so many tourist attractions, which invite many people to come, either from within the country or abroad, of course, this greatly affects the economy of the surrounding population. And the negative impact is sometimes because there are so many people who come to that place the nature is threatened. Sometimes people are irresponsible, they litter or even destroy facilities and didn’t care about the surrounding environment making the destination doesn’t look as beautiful as before.<br><br></div><div>So, in my opinion about this situation is disadvantages outweigh the advantages, but maybe we can improve it slowly by educating the visitors about the things they need to pay attention to when visiting a tourist destination.&nbsp; I hope using this method people can be more aware of their environment and our countries can be more advanced.<br><br></div>]]></description>

Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?<br><br>I think the very rapid development of tourism can have more positive impacts on the country. such as the positive impacts that can be received from the results of tourism development, namely, first, expanding employment opportunities, from here it provides many job opportunities for local people themselves and can increase income. second, the preservation of local culture, third, the recognition of local culture by foreign tourists. Therefore, we must preserve all the cultures that exist in Indonesia by more respecting or appreciating the work of Indonesian people and we must also protect the environment so that it always creates a clean and comfortable environment.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nabila Syaskia Aini<br>20200810024<br><br>Indonesia has many choices of places to travel. Of course, foreign tourists are also very interested in visiting Indonesia. and also a lot of benefits obtained by the state. but there are also negative impacts that they bring if they can't take care of the surrounding environment and make it dirty. teach a new culture to eliminate the old culture, and so on. In my opinion, the advantages and disadvantages must be balanced so that the state does not feel too disadvantaged.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>International tourism is considered to have a positive impact on the government, because tourism activities can assist the government in increasing the budget in the tourism sector. but people don't always feel this way because with so many people who come to visit tourism places it is feared that negative things will arise, some of which are noise pollution, tourist attractions full of tourists, pressure on public facilities, traffic jams, and increased rental price.</div>]]></description>
