A letter to # magazine expressing an opinion about tourismDear Sir-As someone who has travelled throughout Asia on business and holiday ! would like to give my opinion on its environmental impact, Having visited Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia | understand that tourism can bring money to developing countries. However, this money offen goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits local people. Multinational hotel chains also have iittle regard for the surrounding wildlife when they build new resorts. This can cause many probiems. in view of these facts we, as tourists, can direotly affect these couniries in @ positive way if we are thoughtful. When we visit these countries we can visit restaurants, bars and even hotels that are owned by local people. in addition, we can refuse to give luxury resorts our patronage and therefore prevent them from becoming even larger. Most importantly we should check that any tours or excursions we take have minimal effet on the natural surroundings. Finally, we can even attempt fo change the behaviour of other tourists by sharing our opinions. if we foliow these simple steps we can be sure that our pieasure is not causing any harm to people or places that we visit.
