The growth of mass tourism and package holiday in Costa Blanca has brought many advantages. Mainly the advantages are job related. The mass tourism has created many jobs for locals in the tertiary sector, like: Hotels, Restaurants, Transport, Tour Guides, Cashiers, etc. The infrastructure of Cost Blanca has also improved largely, benefiting both tourists and locals due to the multiplier effect. But it has also benefited the primary and secondary sector indirectly. Tourists need food, so that could be good for the primary sector. And, tourists also buy many souvenirs and goods, which can be good for the secondary sector. In turn helping the economic development in LICs.

However, the high numbers of visitors concentrated mainly from May to October, visiting the relatively small area around the Mediterranean coast, which has increased the pressure on limited resources like water and land. The mass tourism has also created high levels of pollution from transportation and waste from tourists. Also, since a lot of today's international tourism is in the hands of big companies. This means that the profits made in a country leak out to the country that the company mainly operates in. This money could have been spent on helping the development of the country where it was earned, but was used instead by the company for it's own interests.

In conclusion, it is very clear that there are many advantages and disadvantages from mass tourism on package holiday destinations. But it depends mainly on the tourists themselves, or the regulation of the government.

I think that Costa Blanca is a very well known destination however, it is creating so many disadvantages for the residents although it is encouraging more tourism.

There are multiple factors that increases the number of tourists across the globe. Things like extended holidays, large quantity of disposable income, developed transportations and fancy advertisements have made traveling a popular leisure. As countries realize that they are benefiting from the visiting of travelers, their will further encourage this act by producing deals. One of the most commonly used strategies to attract potential customers is the packaged holiday. In this case, the traveler will have the entire trip planned out including transportation, activities, living area and etc. These packaged holidays are most often allocated in popular destinations and could bring both advantages and disadvantages to the area. One of the most famous stretch of coast is in Spain’s Costa Blanca. Reportedly since the 1960s when the package holiday was used, the area has transformed from a quiet costal area to an area fully of hotels, shops, cafes and restaurants. This consequently helped to attract tourists as they are interested in visiting the area while knowing it is well developed for them to live there. One of the main benefits of mass tourism is that it creases employment opportunity. This will better the local economy both in the construction industry and their agricultural industry from supply the tourist with their needs and wants. This creates a multiplier effect where more tourists lead to more purchases which will create more jobs. All these factors will urbanize the region with even more additional facilities above the hotels and restaurants. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to the matter such as destruction of ecosystem. There are wild lives and species that were evicted due to the constructions of buildings across the stretch of the coast. The construction causes high level of light, noise and air pollution that effect the environment of the Costa Blanca area. The transportations that allows the travelers to reach Costa Blanca such as cars, planes and boats also massively contribute to the waste pollution produced. Overall, it shows that tourism can massive impact an area by transforming the area to meet the travelers’ demands. It has proven to be both beneficial and destructive to the area, therefore it will continue in a repetitive cycle.
