This paper is based on the Tourism Industry. The Tourism industry is among the fastest growing economic activities in the world pumping in vast chunks of revenue. It has created job opportunities in both large and small cultural communities around the globe. As this continues to happen, the impacts tourism has brought in continues to be less understood (Lis, S. (2009). The effects the industry has brought to the nations involved range from economics to socio-cultural benefits and sometimes adverse outcomes to a large extent. The results are felt mainly in the developing countries where mass tourism is practiced. These negative effects are occasionally sustainable and manageable if well handled. This paper seeks to unveil the negative impacts the socio-cultural effects tourism has brought and identifying the areas of sustainability.
Most of the players in the industry view tourism concerning its economic impacts, revenue and taxes collection to be the central driving bearing (Mason 2015). However, there is a broad range of sometimes severe negative impacts tourism has fueled depending on the kind of resources and conditions involved. The socio-cultural consequences of travel to the community have many times threatened to harm the tourism market. When tourism comes to a community, there will always be a gloomy effect on the neighborhood. With the relaxed and free state of the tourists at the destination, a batch of illegal activities manages to lean on and cause problems to people involved. The nature of changes in lifestyle in the local community due to tourist involvement and congestion has been seen to alter most socio-cultural patterns of the locals. Recreational areas such as hotels, clubs, entertainment concerts and beaches have pushed development into the community and forcing alterations in the physical construction of the area.
