Dear Sir,
As someone who has travelled through Asia on business and holiday I would like to give my opinion on tourism's environmental impact. Having visited Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia I understand that tourism can bring money to developing countries. However, this money often goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits local people. Furthermore, multinational hotel chains don't care about the surrounding nature when they build new hotels. This can cause many problems.
In view of these facts tourists can affect these countries in a more positive way if we are thoughtful. Firstly, when we visit these countries we should visit restaurants, bars and even hotels that are owned by local people. In addition, we can refuse to go to luxury hotels and therefore prevent them from becoming even larger. Most importantly we should check that any tours or excursions we take have little effect on nature. Finally, we can even attempt to change the behaviour of other tourists by sharing our opinions.
If we follow these simple steps we can be sure that our pleasure is not causing any harm to people or places that we visit.
