Disadvantage in Tourism


     Nowadays, oversea travel is very popular in the world. There are many people want to discover about other countries. It helps to develop of the economics for many countries. Besides that, it also brings many problems for them. Vietnam is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenues to many countries but its disadvantages should not be overlooked. These disadvantages of tourism are culture and custom, and natural landscape.
     The disadvantage of tourism is many influences to Vietnamese culture and custom. The Vietnamese were very simple in the traditional fashion. For example; from a long time ago, women wore “ao dai” or “ao ba ba”. It was very be careful in their clothes. However, Vietnam opened door with many countries therefore many people came to Vietnam. They brought so much new things coming to Vietnam. The Vietnamese culture and custom changed too. The young person begin wear short with low cut décolleté. It has never seen before life. They like to outside more than stay at home. They begin to try club and bar like foreigners. There are many hotels, restaurants and public services. I can see many children don’t go to school but they become street vendor for the traveler. I saw many people in country side changed their life because they want to copy the tourists’ custom. The life style has influenced by the traveler. Many vices appear in live such as drug, prostitution, and robber from city to country. Thus, it is very difficult controlling disadvantage and keeping culture and custom in public.
     Another disadvantage from tourism is natural landscape. Vietnam has many natural landscapes with long coast running follow the length of country. Some of them have destroyed by the people. Tourism is developing in my country so many foreigners want to travel Vietnam. Some of them want to know about landscape, other want to try food, another want to discover culture. That is the reason why many people travel to Vietnam every day. It means the hotels and the recreation services are opened in everywhere from mainland to island. So many natural beauty places have gone with developing of travel. It hadn’t extensive forest with tiger, bear, and rhino because human used land for build house. The island isn’t exclusion; it becomes nice place with big buildings, huge hotels, and vast sea ports. The ocean water has changed by sweepings from tourist. They throw many kind of trash when they play on the beach. The environment is also devalued by tours from people all the world. This is the worst in all disadvantages of tourism that we would not be overlooked.
     As most of country, Vietnam has many policies to protect culture, nature, and human from bad influences of travelers. Furthermore, culture and human, and environment are the most important in our life so we have to protect them. Traveling is an interesting thing in live but it is a big disadvantage for many countries in the world. It is culture and custom, natural landscape when the tourism developing as a main field in economy of country.
