NEGATIVE EFFECTS & DISADVANTAGES

1. Lack of jobs for local people:
   Due to the international understanding, local people might not be educated enough for the jobs. "Foreign personnel and firms dominate managerial and higher-paid posts, reducing opportunities for local people." (David Waugh)
   
2. Pollution:
   Causes different types of pollutions because the "excessive pressure leads to air, land, noise, visual and water pollution, and breakdown in water supplies, etc." (David Waugh)
   
   
3. Increases health risks:
   If more tourists are brought into the country, these people may have carried in more types of diseases, such as AIDS. (David Waugh)
   
   
4. Increases disagreements:
   "Increase rift between 'rich' and 'poor.'" People or countries are in serious disagreements or quarrel that stops them from having a good relationship because of the different types of livings or levels they have. (David Waugh)
   
   
5. Over-crowded:
   More tourists create more problems in transportation. ��Traffic congestion and pollution�� may be a concern to the country. Traffic congestion causes inconvenience for people who are in hurry for work or school. Pollution causes more people to have lung cancers due to the gases release from vehicles. (David Waugh)
   
   
6. Inflated prices:
   "Land, housing, food and clothes" sellers may have increase the prices on their products because of the increase number of tourists visit to the area. This can help to bring in better economy for the area. (David Waugh)
   
   
7. Breakdown of families:
   "Stress between younger generations, who are affected by imported culture, and older members of household." Different views from different generations, which then causes conflicts and might end up with a breakdown of family. (David Waugh)
   
   
8. Breakdown of traditional family values:
   People might be too materialistic because of things that are brought in by tourists from all around the world. This causes a breakdown of traditional family values. (David Waugh)
   
   
9. Labor unskilled and seasonal:
   With the increasing number of people getting into the country on the most popular seasons, less care will be put on the employees. Therefore, the employees can be worked without having a training course to take beforehand. (David Waugh)
   
10. Westernization of culture:
    Tourists coming from all over the world, who bring in the worldwide companies such as McDonalds and Coca-Cola. This causes a problem in losing the original culture of the place. (David Waugh)
    
    
11. Profits may go overseas:
    The profits don��t get spent on the areas that need to be fixed, and rather spend on trades in government use. (David Waugh)
    
    
12. Social pathology, including an increase in prostitution, drugs and petty crime:
    With the complication of different culture, families will breakdown. Kids do not respect parents, which leads them in prostituting and taking drugs. (David Waugh)
    
    
13. Spearheading in ecotourism:
    "Spearheading is seen as one of the largest problems for ecotourism development." (Cater, 1992:19) The problem to spearheading is that it will cause tourists to enter these places, and result in "environmental degradation." Lands might be destroyed because more tourists are visiting these "unopened areas."
    
14. Ecotourism industries do not make a large amount of money:
    There is a risk in working on ecotourism projects because they will not produce a huge amount of profits because "they do not provide adequate means for tourists to spend money." For instance, Costa Rica was once a country that has a lot of trees and forests. However, due to the problem of "deforestation in the 1940s, [the] forest cover was reduced from 75% to 20%." This causes a problem to the tourism/ecotourism industry because fewer tourists will travel to Costa Rica afterwards due to its lack of greenery scenes.
    
    
15. Lack of sustainability development in tourism industry:
    "Barriers to sustainability include a general lack of knowledge by the community, pockets of isolated research and too few guidelines and monitoring processes in place." The project on sustainability "has evolved over recent decades as a means to ensure consideration of the environment into all future decision making."
