Tourism is one of the most important industries. It helps a country earn high amounts of yearly revenue. Some countries and regions are solely dependent on the revenue that comes from their national tourism industry. People like to go on vacations whenever they have time or during the holiday seasons. Most vacationers prefer natural surroundings away from the buzz and noise of polluted cities. They go to the scenic beaches and hills. Some like to visit animal and bird sanctuaries, forests, waterfalls and valleys.Being surrounded by nature helps tourists feel relaxed and happy.
Sadly, a huge number of tourists do not understand the value of sanitation and hygienic behavior. They spread dirt and litter wherever they go. They pollute the tourist attraction sites and diminish the natural beauty of the place. Such irresponsible behavior of the tourists can be countered by setting up health campaigns at the different tourist spots around the world.During the holiday season, thousands of tourists flock to the popular tourist spots.
They do not observe the general rules of cleanliness and act recklessly throwing litter everywhere in the beach or around the wilderness. The local flora and fauna suffers due to such inconsiderate behavior of the tourists. Even the local people feel disturbed because of growing levels of pollution. Health and sanitation awareness campaigns at the polluted tourists spot can help in spreading awareness over time.People will not change all of a sudden. They will not obey the rules that travelers should follow like throwing plastic bags, cans and litter in specific garbage bins. Tourists seem to consider the places they visit their own property. Many irresponsible tourists have the habit of spitting and urinating on the grounds of popular tourist spots and natural sanctuaries. To teach them right from wrong trained and experienced health campaign volunteers have to be hired.
It will definitely take time to change the mindset of tourists and the locals but steady and consistent efforts will bring positive results.Unfortunately, not just the tourists but also the restaurants and hotels at the major tourist spots are contributing in spreading pollution. The restaurants and hotels through litter freely wherever they can and create dumpsters by the side of roads and beaches. They do not even realize that if the tourist spot becomes unattractive then less people will come to visit the place.
