Travel has existed since the beginning of time, when primitive men set out, traversing great distances for food and clothing, for the possibility of finding a better habitat. Tourism in the mass form as we know it today is a distinctly twenty-century phenomenon; it usually means the major new industry that both provides opportunities but also becomes the concerns of many world governments.

Opinions vary largely among people regarding what the popularity of touring to remote places and communities could bring to the local people. Advocators see this as an employment opportunity and a means of producing immediate benefits; as one of the largest segments of the tertiary industry, tourism activates a chain of economic measures including the value-added capital investment, employment, and tax contributions. There are also people holding that its economic impact may be uncertain and the tours are constantly interrupting the daily life of local people. The industries that seemingly prosper because of tourism in those places, like the food services or the accommodations also serve the residents, which makes it difficult to develop any type of reliable or credible information to estimate the contributions tourism has made to remote places and residents. But visitors truly become a problem, notably when the inhabitants find themselves fully occupied by the outsiders everywhere; they are reluctant to see so many strangers in public places, shops, restaurants or even, their front gates.
However, people may easily reach a consensus on the profound negative effects of tourism on the environment of the local communities; they are consistently worrying about the ecological damage due to a wide range of tourism activities. Once the regions, especially those fragile ones, are reconstructed into tourist resorts, conflicts emerge between the natural resources and the invasion of modern facilities: forests may have to give way to the construction of mountain hotels; rivers may be forced to reroute for the water communication. That is truly not the whole story until people have found that the traditional survival system faces challenges in certain remote places which rely their living on the primary industry—it is obvious what people would opt to do after knowing they can earn more in a few weeks working as porters for visitors than in a year working in the fields; farmlands may probably lay waste. This is also considered as one possible reason for desertification.
While the environment of some remote places would be negatively affected, I would consider tourism as a contributive way of changing the lives of local people. Those regions prosper when they are widely known by others who are willing to pay for seeing what is novel in a particular location. As a proper way, most visits respect the cultures and traditions of the locals, and the former surely provides a scope for the latter to develop by propagandizing it to the public.
