Tourism is not wholly a good or bad thing. Often you may hear locals moaning about tourists while in another country, but in certain places, without it, the country would struggle financially. Tourism can bring in a lot of money to local communities and can help them grown.

South Africa attracts a lot of tourists mainly due to the safari excursions it offers and the amazing array of wildlife that can be seen there. There are often concerns about the level of tourism in South Africa and how this is affecting the animals that cohabit there, as with thousands of vehicles tearing through the country causing not only noise and commotion but also pollution levels to rise.

When tourists visit South Africa, as with any location, they should respect the local people, wildlife and surroundings and treat them all with respect as without this, there may not be opportunities for future generations to go there and have the experience for themselves.
