Negative Effects of Tourism 
Tourism can have a negative effect on the natural environment 
The building of facilities and infrastructure can destroy the habitat of wild 
animals 
Beautiful beaches are spoilt by the building of hotels 
Tourism creates pollution and waste 
It puts pressure on local resources 
Local traditional and cultures may be endangered 
A rise in the cost of living affects local people 
The price of goods, services and housing may increase significantly 
The Future of Tourism 
Government should introduce laws to protect natural environments and local 
cultures 
Tourism should have a low impact on wildlife 
Renewable resources like solar or water power should be used 
Waste should be recycled 
Local businesses such as farms should be supported

21. Traditional vs. Modern 
Losing Traditional Skills 
Because of industrialization and global trade, many traditions have 
disappeared 
Global advertising encourages everyone to buy the same products 
Most products are now made in factories 
Machinery has replaced skilled human labor 
Factory work is boring and leaves people feeling unfulfilled 
Goods are produced very quickly and in large numbers 
Products are cheaper, which means that more people can buy them 
 
Examples 
Clothes are mass produced in standard sizes 
People wear similar clothes, rather than traditional costumes 
Jeans and T-shirt are now worn throughout the world 
Historic buildings took skilled craftsmen years to build 
Modern concrete, steel and glass buildings are built in only weeks or months 
There are fewer people who can create hand-made goods
