Advantages of tourism Tourism is an ever growing industry because it moves money. Usually what makes a place a tourist destination is his nature, historical-artistic value, nightlife or buisness opportunities. People who travel as tourist usually are supposed to spend some money in exchange of a personal enrichment in terms of new experiences, acquaintances and enjoying time. Regarding to mental benefits either the tourists and locals have the opportunity to come to be more open-minded. Tourism must be considered to be a source of profits as well, which a society could invest in. Just for that it encourages the local authorities to take care of the artisitic and natural goods existing in their territory just like a host brighten his house up to accommodate some guests in the expectation that they will come back again. For this reason the touristic cities create infrastructures, facilities, hotels, shops. These things enhance employment. There are some locations who just live on tourism. Nevertheless sometimes this process can lead to excessive results. In the most touristic places the tourist is seen as a person to be ripped off. Plus, since it’s all about tourism the place come to be unlivable even for the locals who very often mourn the past. All the structures that they had created and all the people they had attracted need always more tourism to be supported. Personally I love travel, try new experiences and visit new places but what motivates me the most is the curiosity of immerse myself in the local culture. For this reason quite always I travel alone, avoiding touristic destinations and trying to stay in a place as much as possible to socialize with locals.
