3 Challenges Of Tourism

 3 Challenges Of Tourism

Destruction of habitats: Coastal forests, mangroves and wetlands are frequently cleared for the construction of hotels. Therefore, as a result, wildlife that depends on these regions for survival is at risk. Further destruction of habitats can later lead to the extinction of animals. 

Pollution: The environment can become contaminated by the careless discharge of solid waste and sewage by hotels and cruise ships. Due to the Caribbean islands' lack of sufficient environmental protection legislation, cruise ships and hotels frequently take advantage of this situation.

Increase in the price of land: The price of land frequently rises especially close to the ocean, due to the growth in demand for land to construct hotels for visitors. As a result, locals find it more challenging to purchase land. 

3 Reasons Why Tourists Visit The Caribbean

Geographical location: Due to the Caribbean’s location in the tropics, the climate is warm all year round and is usually dry during winter months. In order to avoid the cold during winter, many tourists travel to the Caribbean as it is closer to North America and Europe compared to other tropical regions.

Natural features: In the Caribbean there are several natural stunning characteristics like beaches, coral reefs, lush rainforests, and waterfalls that may be found in many different countries that lure tourists in. For instance, Harrison’s cave in Barbados and the pitons in st. Lucia. 

Culture: Due to the Caribbean’s unique and diverse culture, many tourists visit the region to experience it. In Trinidad during the carnival season, many people visit globally, generating income and providing temporary and permanent jobs for citizens.

Employment: Employment within tourism is created at all skill levels, from laborers to senior

management. 

It provides jobs for persons who are not as skilled or qualified as some jobs require non-skilled or semi-skilled workers.

Foreign exchange: In the Caribbean, countries depend heavily on tourism as a source of foreign exchange. When countries obtain foreign currency, it is used to import goods and services from overseas. The Bahamas for example is one country whose economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism.

Infrastructure: Airports, sports facilities, and roads leading to locations where hotels will be constructed are just a few of the amenities that are made possible because of tourism.
