Question

In recent years, there are many tours held to countriside and remote locations. While it bring benefits for local resident, i strongly believe that negative impacts on evironment are more significant.

Beside, it is also way to remain local culture. In Vietnam, for instance, nowadays there are more and more tours to South of Vietnam. Visitors can widen their knowledge and resident reserve  unique culture such as cusine or traditional craft.

However, tourism in remote regions  affect environment considerably. Visitors often throw rubbish in this destination and they rare clean after they visited, this is the shorten way lead to environment pollution. Moreover, sources of nature could be used to serverse for tourism. In Ben Tre province, there are a huge number of coconut tree cut down to make craft every year. This lessen a significant quantity of coconut tree in there.

In conclusion, despite advantages of tour to remote ares and community, There are negative environment consequences we should concern about.
