Tourists help prevent war by bringing people together. Tourists
use public transport and this helps everyone because more trains,
boats and busses are then available for the local population to
use. With the calm and tranquil behaviour of tourists the local
population has good role models and can learn foreign languages
more easily. Aditionally many jobs are provided by tourists as
staff are needed for hotels and to operate tourist railways and
boats. Perhaps the greatest benefit is to the self employed who may
rent rooms to tourists and earn an income. It is important to
regulate tourists to ensure good behaviour and prevent them
bringing bad things to the country. In Malaysia tourists are not
allowed to drive and bring in cars, also they must pay high taxes
if they arrive on poluting aeroplanes. By promoting wholesome
activities eg. exploring Malaysia by rail with the Malaysian rail
pass and camping at the free of charge camping sites, the
government provides good services for the tourist and encourages
more visitors. Welcome !

Disadvantages of tourism in Maldives-Oh man, one of the major disadvantages of tourism in the Maldives is the potential for overcrowding. You know, especially during peak seasons, the beaches and resorts can get really packed, and it kind of spoils that peaceful and secluded vibe that people expect. Another thing is that it might put a strain on the local environment. With more tourists coming in, there's increased waste and pressure on the natural resources. Also, sometimes the local culture and traditions might get overshadowed by the commercialization that comes with tourism. That can be a real bummer.
