cons
Damage to the environment by tourists
Tourists will often cause damage during their visit in an attempt to find a photo opportunity. The result is that tourists are often responsible for deforestation and over-exploitation of natural resources.

Souveniers
In some regions this can be considered an outright disgrace and mocking of their culture.
Non-Compliance of tourists
Sometimes, tourists do not honor cultures and traditions of countries/regions they visit. (Breaking rules)

Tourism mainly provides low level job
These jobs mostly come as waiters, cleaners, and bartenders. Usually temporary jobs that don’t provide much opportunity for growth.
Small businesses are unable to keep up
Tourism industry in developing countries is owned by big foreign companies --> locals who depend on the income from tourism have to find other jobs in order to make money.
