Tourism does not only bring the advantages named above, it also comes with business opportunities for the locals within the vicinity of the tourist destination, if one travels to tourist destinations and resorts in Africa or Asia they will most probably become a very much needed customer to vender's selling refreshments, artists selling sculptures and mini replicas of animals, buildings and ornaments such as art and craft jewelry. In some cases tourism has lead to the development of an are because of its heritage ie. communication lines and transport systems have been upgraded and made appropriate and efficient enough to encourage and attract more tourism activity. indirectly this is also benefiting the people in the area as facilities and services will become available.
In the end the benefits of tourism out live the cost because costs come and go but more benefits arise when ever a costs are incurred.
