Especially in developing countries, one of the main motivations for a region to promote itself as a tourism destination is the expected economic improvement.

NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TOURISM There are many hidden costs to tourism There are many hidden costs to tourism Often rich countries are better able to profit from tourism than poor ones.

NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TOURISM:  export leakage arises when overseas investors who finance the resorts and hotels take their profits back to their country of origin.

NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TOURISM: Enclave tourism Local businesses often see their chances to earn income from tourists severely reduced by the creation of "all-inclusive" vacation packages. Local businesses often see their chances to earn income from tourists severely reduced by the creation of "all-inclusive" vacation packages.

NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TOURISM: Economic dependence of the local community on tourism Diversification in an economy is a sign of health, however if a country or region becomes dependent for its economic survival upon one industry, it can put major stress upon this industry as well as the people involved to perform well.
