The negative effect on tourism is that if they like the place they would like to stay at that certain country which would affect the population and the landscape for more houses.]]> 2018-02-19 22:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233071929 https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233118420 2018-02-20 03:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233118420 Vanuatu https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233119988 Vanuatu relies heavily on tourism and purchases made by visitors. Some negative effects may include the destruction of certain locations. For example visitors may visit a sacred location and ruin it or show disrespect.

Tourism creates jobs, both through direct employment within the tourism industry and indirectly in sectors such as retail and transportation. When these people spend their wages on goods and services, it leads to what is known as the "multiplier effect," creating more jobs. The tourism industry also provides opportunities for small-scale business enterprises, which is especially important in rural communities, and generates extra tax revenues, such as airport and hotel taxes, which can be used for schools, housing and hospitals. https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233121487 negative
Successful tourism relies on establishing a basic infrastructure, such as roads, visitor centers and hotels. The cost of this usually falls on the government, so it has to come out of tax revenues. Jobs created by tourism are often seasonal and poorly paid, yet tourism can push up local property prices and the cost of goods and services. Money generated by tourism does not always benefit the local community, as some of it leaks out to huge international companies, such as hotel chains. Destinations dependent on tourism can be adversely affected by events such as terrorism, natural disasters and economic recession]]> 2018-02-20 03:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/robertsfiona16/zgsd2ptrjuec/wish/233121487
