INTRODUCTION:
Today, tourism is one of the greatest and largest developing sectors of external economic activities. Tourism can have positive as well as negative effects on a country. It depends on the kind of tourism developed in the tourist area. Tourism is often perceived as an excellent for promoting sustainable growth and development in developing countries. Many view tourism as a viable way to make profit and create social and economic benefits for local communities.

Main body:
Nowadays more and more people are likely to travel around the world and therefore tourism is getting more lucrative than ever to nations galore. Tourism is a main source of income to developing countries. When tourists come to these countries, they usually spend foreign currency. This foreign exchange may help to increase developments in the country and thereby accelerates economic growth. Income from tourism in the form of foreign exchange earnings are added to the national income and this leads to improvements of infrastructure, public services, buildings, hospitals, schools and even hotels, which will in turn bring more tourists and thus increase the national income to a further extent.
Tourism has also benefits the well being of local communities. Wunder(2000) states that tourism has benefits the local impacts of income generation and distribution. Moreover it helps to decrease unemployment in the local areas. For instance, the main benefits are for hotel, restaurant, car rentals, souvenir shops and much more. All of this creates many different levels of employment opportunity for people and average standard of living has increased.
In contrast, tourism faces a set of problems that threaten the entire programme. Moreno (2005) claims that local culture are being exploited and misrepresented and the industry promotes further environmental degradation, because of poor planning.
