One of the disadvantages of tourism is that it causes damage to the natural environment. When tourists arrive in Singapore, they usually travel here by planes, cars and ships. That causes air, water and land pollution. As the exhaust from the planes and cars pollute the air, the ships pollute the water when they wash out their tanks or dump their bilge water and the tourists cause land pollution when they litter. There is also soil pollution as they will clear a lot of land to build hotels for the tourists to stay in. That is why i think that tourism causes damage to the natural environment.

Museums are critical for education of culture. If not, the cultures of the people in the

society would be empty and incomplete. Education, is important for development. One of the fundamental objectives of the museum is to educate, and it is only the museum that has the capacity and the ability to impart cultural education effectively as it houses the tools and materials for doing so in its collections. In modern society, the museums enrich the educational process by exposing children and the public to their history in a positive way; they assist our future generations to understand and appreciate their history and culture and take pride in the achievements of their fore-bearers.
