Is international tourism beneficial?
News has reported that Australia tourism has experienced significant growth across a number of Asian markets with China remaining Australia’s biggest market outside of New Zealand, the latest International Visitor Survey (IVS) showed.
Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb on Wednesday welcomed the results, saying tourism industry is vital in providing jobs for the Australians.
"Tourism is Australia’s largest services export. The jobs of over 929,000 Australians are linked to tourism and the Coalition Government is committed to supporting tourism as a key job creation industry," Robb said.
"These latest figures show that China is still Australia’s largest market, outside of New Zealand, with Chinese visitors increasing their expenditure in the Australian economy to 5.1 billion AU dollars (4.73 billion U.S. dollars), while we also remain very competitive in the challenging United States tourism market," he said.
However, with the booming of such overseas tourism, visitor behaviours can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of the host community. For example, crowding and congestion, drugs and alcohol problems, prostitution and increased crime levels can occur. Tourism can even infringe on human rights, with locals being displaced from their land to make way for new hotels or barred from beaches. Interaction with tourists can also lead to an erosion of traditional cultures and values.

International Tourism Still Benefits! International tourism has become increasingly popular nowadays. Some people think such kind of travel is beneficial in terms of providing jobs and boosting trade while others argue this has a negative impact on the locals regarding potential crimes and local entitlements. From my perspective, global travel has both advantages and disadvantages. It is obvious that one of the most important advantages of international travelling for some countries is that it can stimulate economic growth. According to Australian Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb, over 929,000 jobs have been created when numerous Chinese tourists visit the country and spend 5.1 billion AU dollars to eat, live and tour. Moreover, such global travel expands Australian trade market as well when Chinese tourists become more familiar with local products. However, too many tourists can disrupt the life of local people and damage the local environment. As a result of excessive travelers, streets become too noisy, crowded and conflicts may take place as well and the local people cannot enjoy the quiet life they used to have. At the same time, natural environment is destroyed and resources overused due to redundant construction of tourist facilities and resorts, which is at the cost of forcing locals to move their homes. To sum up, international tourism brings economic benefits to those countries with rich tourist resources although they have to accept some environmental costs. However, as long as the number of tourists is controlled and tourist resources not over-exploited, this negative side will not be a serious issue.
