As tourism increases there is also an increase in waste product, destruction of environment either through building of hotels, lodges, and endangering of wild life. Removal, recycle and storage of the waste products is a huge encumbrance especially to the developing nations, since recycling waste material is expensive. When people cannot contain their waste material they will resort to dumping the waste in the environment polluting the area. It would cause complications to the ecosystems and would be a backlash instead of tourism being a positive impact to that area. Tourists would start avoiding the areas which are heavily polluted as it is unsightly and smelly. Transport by air, road, and rail is continuously increasing in response to the rising number reported that the number of international air passengers worldwide rose from 88 million in 1972 to 344 million in 1994. One consequence of this increase in air transport is that tourism now accounts for more than 60% of air travel and is therefore responsible for an important share of air emissions. As a result, causing less international tourists to visit the tourist destinations.

In many Developing Countries, most people gain an income through primary sector jobs like mining and farming. However, certain Developing Countries rely on tourism as their main source of revenue. For example, Maldives is a country located south of Sri Lanka and comprises of many islands. Due to its scenic beauty and wide range of activities like water sports and fishing, many foreigners visit Maldives for adventure and relaxation. Since countries like Maldives rely a fair bit on tourism, the Maldivians are to ensure that everything is in check for tourists. For an instance, the facilities used by the tourists have to be kept in good condition, the safety of the tourists is ensured and everything runs smoothly with little backlashes. However, in order to ensure that everything is in place, money is needed to carry out these operations. Therefore, I agree to an extent that the benefits of tourism outweigh the costs in the context of Developing countries.

Tourism comes with business opportunities for the locals within the vicinity of the tourist destination, if one travels to tourist destinations and resorts in Africa or Asia where most Developing Countries are located, they will probably become a very much needed customer to the vender's selling refreshments, artists selling sculptures and mini replicas of animals, buildings and ornaments such as art and craft jewelry. In some cases tourism has led to the development of an area because of its heritage. For example, communication lines and transport systems have been upgraded and made appropriate and efficient enough to encourage and attract more tourism activity. Indirectly this is also benefiting the people in the area as facilities and services will become available. This would allow easier accessibility to the area for both tourists and locals. In addition, if the government is able to improve the conditions of the area, eventually, more tourists would visit this area. This multiplier effect would be a never-ending one only if all parties are able to uphold their role in which they play. However, there are always complication in every plan.
