The costs and benefits of tourism development in different areas depend on the resource status, economic structure and geographical location of the development area. Compared with developed countries, developing countries have lower income levels and lower levels of industrial development. They can only rely heavily on agricultural exports in exchange for foreign exchange. Therefore, developing tourism to earn foreign exchange is a means for developing countries to achieve industrialization.

Regardless of whether it is a developed or developing country, one of the main purposes of developing tourism is to earn foreign exchange and improve the balance of payments. There are two ways to expand the country's foreign exchange earnings, one is through foreign trade, and the other is through non-trade. Tourism falls into the latter category.

Tourism is a labor-intensive industry that can create employment for a large number of people. The development of tourism has also led to the development of other industries, expanding the employment force and providing more employment opportunities for women.

Through its own business activities, the tourism industry can not only increase foreign exchange income, but also bring profits, and the country obtains revenue in the form of taxation.

The development of tourism can promote changes in the economic structure of regional industries in tourist destinations. Tourists' various consumption needs become a new driving force for production development, providing the possibility for other departments and other industries to open up new production sectors.

The comprehensive nature of tourism determines that the development of tourism must be compatible with the development of the national economy. Only within the scope that tourism-related industries can bear, the tourism industry can develop normally. In some areas that are rich in tourism resources but do not have the conditions for development, excessive and advanced development of tourism will damage the regional economy.

Tourism leads to inflation in several ways. Tourists can often purchase goods at higher prices. Retailers serving tourists can greatly increase their marginal profits. Such retailers compete with retailers serving locals. Can win. They pay higher rents and taxes and make high profits by passing on higher prices to tourists. As tourism grows, demand for land intensifies, and rising land prices can lead to inflation.

Tourism and environmental protection develop independently without contact or interference with each other, and remain neutral.

Tourism and the environment are in conflict when tourism has harmful effects on the environment. In some cases, the conflict between tourism and the environment can stimulate and promote measures in tourist destinations to protect fragile ecosystems.

The environment is the foundation of tourism. If the tourism industry is to be successful and sustainable, it needs to protect the scenery and historical heritage of the destination and protect important tourism resources, that is, potential tourism investment. Tourism not only stimulates environmental protection through its own activities, but also directly provides economic means to implement protection measures. Part of the regional tourism economic revenue can be used to invest in maintaining the environmental quality of scenic spots and protecting historical sites.
