Note Q2 below, Japan is not exactly a poor country, but most of the arguments mentioned in the article can still apply....
Some impt points to take away with are:
-overcrowding and strain on public infrastructure, resulting in inconvenience for locals
-friction btw locals and tourists due to differing habits (but this will be less of a concern if referring to domestic tourisim where the tourists are of the same country and culture)
In a culturally uniform country where everyone is attuned to "reading the air" - being sensitive to the unsaid needs of others - clueless tourists lumbering around and taking up excessive space on public transport with oversized luggage is causing social stress....Add to that tourists standing on the wrong side of the escalator, chatting loudly on trains, and mixing combustible rubbish with the non-combustible, and even the usually reticent Kyoto-ite finds it hard to repress a frown.

Qns:
1. To what extent does the immigration of people have a positive
effect? (Cam. 2008)
2. Should poorer countries develop their tourist industry when the
basic needs of their own people are not being met? (Cam. 2007)
