Many people plan a holiday because of fun exercises, such as extreme activities, learning other culture and trying something new like food that we could not get locally. From a tour or testing fascinating sustenance and engrossing some culture in nearby historical centers, some people are searching for a greater degree of excitement. Nowadays, with the latest technology, some think it is easy to plan their journey according to their preferences. Through social media, they can look up and book their hotel room on their preferred destination. With the help of internet, promoting destinations is quick and easy since information are widely accessible. Anyone can learn something new and gain experience by traveling. However, there are tourists who cause damage to the landscape. This shows that tourism not only can bring good impact but also has bad consequences to the industry. This is due to outsider’s’ bad attitude at places they have visited. Due to mass influx of tourists, tourism at some extent already becomes a catastrophe. This proves that tourism not only bring positive impacts but also bring negative impacts to their own industry.
