Not at all tourism helps a nation to build and flourish. Everything has both sides if we keep the good things in our tourism practices the bad one can be minimize. So all depends how the stakeholders and local behave in relation to tourism.

I think this very much depends on one's perspective. On the one hand, it cold be argued that tourism offers economic, social and even environmental benefits. Tourism provides economic benefits in terms of income and job creation, with capital inflows from international tourism adding to national income. It is also true that tourism provides opportunities social and cultural interchanges that enrich our understandings of the world and its peoples, potentially contributing to improved empathy, respect and peace. It is even possible that tourism can assist preservation of the environment by encouraging greater connection to, and awareness of, the beauty and value of the physical environment that sustains us. However, all these things depend on the way that tourism is performed and the mindset of the producers and consumers participating in the tourism system. Unfortunately, the dominant mindsets and methods of tourism have, in the main, resulted in tourism that either fails to achieve these benefits or is outweighed by the negatives of unsustainable practices, largely stemming from shortsighted ideologies of capitalism and individualism - the former orients production toward the economic end of profit, positioning the environment and societies as resources to be exploited for commercial gain; and the latter orients consumption to the hedonistic end of personal gratification at the expense, or ignorance, of wider societal and planetary effects. The consequence is that tourism, in its contemporary form, is fundamentally exploitative and is inherently unsustainable. If it were otherwise, we would not have any need for engagement in debates about sustainability, particularly couched in the idea of some 'balancing' among environmental, economic, and social concerns. The nature of problem is amply evidenced by many instances of unethical treatment of animals, degradation and destruction of physical environments, and the accelerating displacement of local communities due to overcrowding and associated problems encapsulated in new label of 'overtourism'. All of these are symptoms of the escalation of unsustainable production and consumption practices, which might otherwise simply be called exploitation.

Qiute often it becomes exploitation of natural resurces..if you think of human exploitation...I don't know.

I think that tourism helps to eradicate poverty and hunger. It makes it possible for more children to go to school. It helps bridge the gap between cultures, not deepening them. It leads to more gender equality, not more exploitation. More importantly, it creates a real and sustainable prosperity that does not depend on charity.

Tourism in general and Mayange tours in particular are good for economic development. With low barriers to entry, tourism is a great way for developing countries to hire people while increasing their domestic output

Tourism is a kind of entertainment, but sometimes it can be considered a kind of exploitation.
