Well... there are two sides to this, the good and the bad.Here are some.
For the good
1. Cash - tourists bring money from other locations to spend while visiting the local sites. They pay for food, lodging, drink, recreation, medical supplies, guides, equipment rentals and purchases and a whole list of things that all cost money. So the locals exchange their goods and services in exchange for cash.
2. Taxes - tourist purchases usually involve sales taxes. Also the locals pay income taxes and property taxes. This is revenue for the city, county, state and country in which the tourist attraction is located.
3. Investment - people invest to make money. If you find a tourist attraction that has services or products that are not provided, it offers you an opportunity to create weath by starting a new business or by upgrading and improving old businesses.
4. Population growth- villages become towns become cities by increases in population. People flock to those locations that offer employment, which means more cash infused into the local community. This also means that numbers 1,2 and 3 above are increased.
5. Roads - without roads people cannot come. So the government jumps in and builds or improves the road system, which means that more tourists can arrive.
6. Transportation improvements - Once people arrive, everything they consume has to be shipped in. So truck lines, railroads, taxis, bus lines, boats, ferries and airlines all arrive to provide transportation in exchange for money.
7. Lodging - hotels, motels, bed and breakfast, campgrounds all to support the arriving hoards.
8. Restaurants - same as 7, which means better selections for locals to eat out.
On the bad side
1. Crime - where there are tourists there are criminals.
2. Drugs - same thing
3. Polution - increases in humanity mean increases in this
4. Alcoholism - same is 3
5. Depression - when people are packed together and make poor choices the next thing that arrives is depression
6. Broken families - follows crimes, drugs, and alcoholism.
7. Suicides - same as 6.
