Crime also can become a serious societal problem when tourism succeeds. Milman and Pizam found a relationship between tourist season and crime season: Crime increased at the height of the tourist season but was lower during the off – season. This increase in crime becomes a social and economic burden on the local area because it raises fear and necessitates funding a larger police force.
Unfortubately, another social ill that sometimes occurs with the development of tourism is a decline in the moral conduct of the local people.
Finally, some cultures have balked at the effect tourism has had on their language. Because so many tourists and business travelers use English as a common communication means, the native tongue loses its value and is replaced by English owing to employment qualifications and the demonstration effect.
