TASK 1
A critical analysis of the different type of tourism impacts that the destination can suffer
Negative social impacts of tourism
Tourism is a key aspect in bringing social, economic and environmental impacts. However, over
the years, it has been faced by various effects which undermine the tourism sector.
Tourists in Brazil might fail to respect the local customs and moral values in the existing society
where they have gone to visit. This can bring about a lot of social irritation, unethical behavior
such as prostitution and gender stereotyping.
Tourism has often brought about the erosion of social moral conduct through commercialization
of sexual exploitation of children and young ladies. It can also bring about the high intrusion on
the day to day lives of locals, reduce privacy and bring about overcrowding in the local state.
This negatively impacts the social lives of the existing local individuals hence having a bad
attitude and feelings about those visiting their host nation (Deery, Jago, and Fredline, 2012,
p.65). Over the years, tourism has brought about cultural erosion in Brazil in terms of values and
lifestyles, language barriers, ethnicity, religious practices and lowered social prosperity levels. It
has also lowered the aspect of social identity.
Economic impacts
Tourism has brought about economic inequality in various regions. Tourists often visit places
from societies with distinct consumption and spending patterns and lifestyles than in the host
destination. They often waste resources seeking pleasure activities. This high spending can

influence the less developing country's economic pressure (García, Vázquez, and Macías, 2015,
p.35).
Unexpected events in tourism destinations like terrorism, political upheaval and adverse weather
conditions or natural disasters like fires can lower the economic prosperity of regions
Tourism can also bring about job level friction. Tourism has brought about income inequality in
people working in Brazilian tourist destinations.
In most cases, people from less developed countries work in low paying jobs like gardeners
while foreigners work in the higher paying and prestigious jobs such as in managerial positions.
Environmental impacts
The travel industry And Pollution
Movements of tourist from Brazil to other regions involve road or air means of transport. These
release air emissions like harmful gases to the atmosphere hence bringing out air pollution.
The development of visitors from their home to the traveler goal includes transport by means of
street, rail, or air, or a mix of these methods of transport (Nunkoo, and Gursoy 2012, p.245). At
the point when a huge number of visitors utilize these methods of transport to achieve a specific
fascination, it dirties the air. Such practices further dirty the air.
Tourism industry leads To Noise Pollution
Tourist's goals are frequently subject to noteworthy noise contamination. Visitor's vehicles
entering and leaving tourist destination zones make a great deal of noise (Kim, Uysal, and Sirgy,
