I think that tourism is not that as dangerous as it might seem. First of all, tourists spend a lot of money in the places they visit. In some towns tourists even have to pay fees to enter. All this money goes to develop the places and fix the damage caused by tourists. Second, tourists are as a rule cultural people that do not usually destroy everything around.
