EFFECT OF CULTURE…..in tourism

Positive impact:
 1- Reasonable foreign currency income for the state.
 2- Slight development of tourism infrastructure.
 3- Marginal increase in employment levels in industries related to the travel sector- hospitality, travel agencies and tour operators, transportation etc.
 4- Sustainance of domestic airlines, charters and to some extent, shipping, to some degree.
 5- Better awareness of foreign cultures and traditions, needs of tourists etc.

 Negative impact-
 1- Sex tourism, with aged foreigners flocking to some of the countries seeking young women as partners. Others come to indulge in pedophile activities.
 2- Negligence of environmental considerations in some cases by both, foreign nationals and locals.
 3- Some of the governments hurry to attract foreign tourists without the existence of a proper tourism infrastructure.
