One of the drawbacks of tourism is the damage to the environment of a country or area. In the first place, tourists use a lot of local resources such as water , food, energy , etc  and this put pressure on the environment. Secondly, there is the problem of pollution. Many cities and towns become overcrowded with tourists, with all their vehicles causing traffic jams as well as air and noise pollution. Another bad effect of tourism is the destruction of the wide life in some places. The habitat of wild plants and animals is lost because of the building of tourist resorts, and by visitors’ activities. In short, the development of tourism has bad effects on the environment.
