The negative effects of tourism on the country are many. They include natural environment being damaged, natural beauty being spoiled, traditional ways of life being affected. These problems have been experienced by countries all around the world. Tourism is one of the biggest industries in the world today and it is responsible for affecting the livelihoods and well-being of people from all walks of life. Negative effects of tourism are seen when people purchase souvenirs made from endangered species or trees. These souvenirs can also be made from ivory or leather which are both great sources of income for some people. Tourism has also caused problems in water resources such as polluting rivers and lakes with waste materials. Tourism can also affect one's cultural identity that comes from traveling to foreign locations and making new friends with people different from them. Tourism can cause a lot of harm to a country because it can turn once beautiful places into a place that is no longer appealing to go to because it has been ruined by tourists who continue going there despite the negative impacts they have caused.
