El turismo sobrepasa la consideración de fenómeno económico con efectos sociológicos y culturales para convertirse en un fenómeno de civilización. El estudio muestra que a pesar de los muchos beneficios que origina el turismo también se puede hablar de muchos aspectos negativos que se pueden dar sobre todo en los países en vías de desarrollo.
