:: Scope of view ::
Looking into the future
 
I do not support those who are used to giving free hand to their imagination …but I always advocate there was tend to analyze and read the future using a methodology that keeps up with science, logic, and former experiences and also the analysis of input and output … first of all, I would love to confirm that the overwhelming majority of countries became aware of tourism importance and its effect on the payment balance, national income, creating job opportunities and activating investment. tourism, moreover , greatly affects the culture and social life of countries and gives any state a golden opportunity to be open to the world – developed stats a gaining thus new expertise that will add to both individual and society as a whole.

In fact no body thinks of the other side of tourism, namely, the passive face of that industry. We just think about the benefits and positive points disregarding the negative ones that could be associated with tourism. From this perspective, we should stop and refer to the negative effects of tourism on security , and values, habits, traditions, environment the crimes and harmful actions committed by the tourist against the states citizens or the crimes committed by the citizen against the tourist.

Reports indicated that there is a relation between tourism increase and the ratio of crimes committed by the trafficking, money laundry and illegal migration; this is apart from the crimes a gains the national security of a state.

Tourism could be used as a shield for certain crimes such as prostitution and sexual tourism, the matter that disrupt social values in the society.

Despite being important as first world industry, we must be aware of how to protect our country against the negative points associated with tourism.

Finally, we have to bear in mind that qualitative tourism not quantitative one is the real standard in order to avoid tourism – associated passive points.
