First, we have to protect the scenery from garbage thrown away by tourists. Although the place is wonderful, if there are full of garbage, nobody wants to visit again.
Second, we should care for the lives of the residents in that area. It might happen that tourists disturb their lives, and cause big problems between tourists and the people who live there.
Finally, we have to think about what the tourism is. Some tourism places seem to pretend as gorgeous and luxurious places, which is not so in reality. We should show what it really is. We don't have to decorate the places only to get people together. We can enjoy the natural places.
