Pollution Due To Urbanization

Negative and Positive Impact of Tourism

Thus, this implies that the development of tourism in the UK is bringing positive influences on the socio-cultural environment of UK. The social codes and unique cultural aspects of UK are considered as strong attractions which encourage a high number of visitors from the whole world to travel the nation. When tourists from other nations stay in the country, they have good interaction with the local residents of UK and they learn the way how local residents of UK behave in a social situation. On the other hand, same goes for the local residents of UK, they also learn about the cultures of people who are visiting them. Therefore, this, as a result, bring many fruitful influences for both, the local residents and the tourists. 

There are certain negative socio-cultural influences associated with the tourism which are also important to consider. The cultural interaction can bring negative impact on the society. There is a possibility that the tourists may violate the customs and also they may disrespect the location which is culturally sensitive. On the other hand, since different cultural beliefs are introduced in the nations which have an attraction in terms of tourism, therefore, this can develop disconnects between the older and younger generations. In addition to that, the local residents may suffer from the increased stress while trying to co-exist with the tourists of different nations. Another negative point of concern is the high number of tourists can overwhelm the host community by challenging the ability of local residents to preserve their lifestyle. Moreover, the rise in the illicit activities such as crime, drug use and prostitution can also be the potential impact of tourism.
