    Tourism has grown rapidly but can negatively impact culture and history if not properly managed. Unchecked tourism can alter historic sites and undermine local cultures over time. However, governments and communities can preserve cultural heritage through legislation limiting development and by promoting local customs, as seen in Venice's construction laws and New Zealand's Mori festivals. Overall, tourism must be balanced with preservation efforts to avoid damaging important cultural and historic sites.

    Opinion essay:

    Tourism is a fast growing industry. Is this a positive or a negative


    development of the country?

    Tourism is a wide spreading industry today. Revolution in


    communication and travelling gave a boost to tourism. Albeit of its positive aspects
    a large fraction of society is holding the idea that, tourism damages the cultural
    values and the historic heritage of travelled destinations. This is responsibility of
    governments and as well as society to resist the negative impacts of tourism.

    First of all, frequent visits by tourist can alter the historic atmosphere of
    visited places. To preserve the historic sites into their original shape is a difficult
    task. There must be legislation at state level, which can restrain those activities that
    are demolishing the often visited areas. For instance in Venice which is a lucrative
    destination for tourists, dwellers are obliged by law to take prior permission from
    local authorities to start construction or repair to their homes. In this way they are
    successfully preserving their historical legacy.

    Secondly, visitors bring their own culture with them and with the
    passage of time this phenomenon can undermine the specific cultural aura of that
    area. Communities of toured areas can play a vital role in preserving their national
    heritage. For example, Mori tribes of New Zealand arrange annul festivals for
    promotion of their culture. These events not only provide chances for reviving local
    customs but also instil a sense of commitment to their national roots.

    To sum up everything, in my opinion, in order to preserve our culture


    and heritage from travellers it is necessary for governments and local societies to
    take plausible measures and if they fail to do so, destruction and damage of tourism
    sites are obvious pitfalls of flourishing tourism industry.
