Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before fir people to travel, In the most “developed” societies, visiting exotic is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it. There are, however, some problem asociated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourist as easy prey because,npt only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less ables to take care of themselves, but also, they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit. Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious discasesaround the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnose. Moreove, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is cousing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue. Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to rstrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of commiting itself to an extesive tpurism development program.
