Opis

Essay from the year 2003 in the subject Sociology - Culture, Technology, Peoples / Nations, grade: Good, La Trobe University Melbourne (Sociology), course: Development, Globalisation and Culture, 16 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: To be in a paradise which is exotic, strange, with amazing landscapes and people who are not affected by corrupted society, is the main reason for tourists to visit foreign countries. However, the questions is, if increasing tourism would be an advantage or a disadvantage for the potential host country, and how tourism affects the economy, society, the and the local environment. International tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy and represents profitability for the visiting country and positively impacts the economy. The question is, whether the economic advantage compensates the damage, which is inflicted to the society, environment and the culture by the tourists.
