should contries encourage tourism?

Definately. Tourism could bring a lot of revenue for that country. Not to mention the domino effect of that tourism, something like, more gift shops, tour leaders, rental for house, car, motorbike, etc, etc

I do not about your country should or not? But in our country government encouraging tourism. God made the country and man made the city, so every country have more or less places to see by foreign people and should develop or encourage tourism for foreign exchange earning. Our government encouraging tourism visit our tourism URL http://www.bangladeshtourism.gov.bd/ and see places and world longest sea beach (120 km long), largest mangrove forest resource and other natural places God made here.

I belive countries should encourage tourism only if it doesn't destroy the nature. Of course it is very good to benefit from the beauty of a country, but just as long as it doesn;t destroy it.

yes definately. I live in the UK and some of the seaside resorts would never survive without this extra trade. It keeps many small businesses afloat. It would be bad to say no tourism, after all we are tourists when we visit another country, so it would inevitably mean we could not holiday in countries other than our own.

tourism earn a country a huge income .... it all depend on what they have to offer ..they showld attract as many turists as they can !

Of course it should do that!Everyone wants to travel to see new places and why not meet new people.

i think that every country which has got natural environment should encourage tourism as it lets others to see the exotic places and make new memories. this also helps in the generation of money. for example malaysia is mostly dependent on its tourism for country's development. they should come out with good facilities as well as with more improved roads as well as other things such as better infrastructure.
