It is often argued that tourists should take the onus of safeguarding the environment of the locations they are visiting, while some believe that tourists are not as responsible as citizens and the government. I strongly believe that exploitation as well as protection of the planet is the primary responsibility of locals and policymakers; However, ,visitors should be advised to comply by environmental rules.

To begin with, environmental protection requires long-term planning, strict regulations, and proper infrastructure. Tourists usually stay in a destination for only a short period of time ,so they cannot manage complex issues such as waste disposal systems, water conservation, or wildlife protection. These matters require government policies and financial investment. Without proper facilities like recycling bins, or sewage treatment plants, even responsible tourists may unintentionally cause environmental harm.

In addition, businesses engaged in this sector earn significant profits from visitors, and thus, they should take greater responsibility. Hotels, airlines, and tour operators can adopt eco-friendly measures such as reducing plastic use, conserving energy, and limiting visitor numbers in fragile areas. Since those organizations operate for a longer period and have more resources, they are in a stronger position to protect the environment than individual travelers. Moreover, placing too many responsibilities on tourists may discourage them from traveling, which could negatively affect local economies that depend on tourism income. A balanced approach, where authorities set clear rules and regulations, and companies follow sustainable practices, would be more effective.

In conclusion, although tourists should act responsibly, they should not be held mainly accountable for environmental protection. Governments and entities involved in facilitating leisure travelers entering a region for tourism should take the leading role in ensuring sustainable development.

Some suggest that safeguarding the natural surroundings of the destination locations is the onus of those undertaking journeys for tourism. However, this view can be challenged on various grounds by virtue of not being pragmatic.

Agree 

• They are the root cause of environmental complications

• littering 

• Abuse of resources 

• Disrupt wildlife behavior 

• If they embraced responsible practices,the evil will be nipped in its bud 

• Choosing hotels and services providers that comply with environmental norms 

• Carrying eco-friendly 

Disagree 

• Tourists are using services created and afforded by hosts and their governments 

• Policymakers of host nations should take the onus 

• Tourists are helping raise revenues which should be used responsibly for creating sustainable tourism 

• Locals involved in offering services and products should ensure eco-friendly policies 

Some suggest that safeguarding the natural surroundings of the destination locations is the onus of those undertaking journeys for tourism. However, this view can be challenged on various grounds by virtue of not being pragmatic. 

Those lobbying for this proposal propound that it is the leisure travelers who behave irresponsibly and erratically by littering, disposing plastic refuse and resorting to resource abuse: water and electricity. Therefore, it is assumed that making them accountable for the imbroglio they are causing will help nip the evil in its bud, but such harsh steps are likely to produce undesirable outcomes: people will be deterred from visiting such societies, impacting tourism and its associated sectors unfavorably. 

Ones undertaking voyages to tourist destinations must completely rely on the locals for every need - boarding and lodging, and traveling and other activities- and consume whatever facility or resource is laid at their disposal; they cannot act independently in alien surroundings. Hence, expecting them to espouse (embrace) the burden of protecting ecology is unwarranted (unjustified). For instance, a European visitor traveling to Asia is likely to be oblivious of local environmental circumstances, and cannot act on their own to protect the planet.

Similarly, the tourism sector is helping generate colossal revenues, through various channels, for natives and policy makers of the host society - direct beneficiaries of this industry, making it imperative for them to devote a part of resources earned for the cause of insulating the environment from the impact of tourist activity. To corroborate, Japan allocates some portion of its annual budget for the upkeep of tourist locations and surroundings.

Overall, this view cannot be concurred with under any circumstances as this will only mean shifting the blame instead of acting concretely: host should don the mantle (take responsibility) of detaching tourism and the environment.
