Tourism and NATURAL WONDERS

People love visiting natural wonders because they are unique and charming. However, the development of tourism can have some negative effects on natural wonders by causing pollution, soil erosion and habitat destruction. First of all, tourists produce waste which can pollute the air, water and soil around natural wonders. Secondly, by hiking or climbing natural wonders, tourists may add to the problem of soil erosion. Finally, people often build hotels near natural wonders. This construction can lead to habitat destruction, which causes harm to plants and animals in the area.

Despite these negative effects, we can preserve natural wonders in my ways. Firstly, we can create laws against littering to reduce the amount of waste from tourists. Secondly, we can leave laws that force people to respect natural habitats and not to harm nature in any way when they construct buildings near the wonders. Finally, we can raise public awareness of the importance of preserving natural wonders. As a result, natural wonders will be around for future generations to enjoy.
