Some people believe that tourism helps create a greater awareness and
appreciation for the need to preserve the environment to capture its natural
beauty for tourist purposes, and increase investments in the environmental
infrastructure of the host country. Air pollution is primarily a result of emissions
from vehicles and airplanes. In rural areas, air pollution due to tourism is
minimal, but in congested areas, emissions harm vegetation, soil, and visibility.

developments, and they frequently suffer negative impacts.

 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF TOURISM IN
MELAKA

The economy of Malacca dated back more than 500 years ago due to its
strategic location as the center for spice trade and its importance which
influence the colonial countries to engage wars to control it. Malacca has
adopted as its slogan Visiting Malacca Means Visiting Malaysia. Industrial
areas are centred along the edges of the city proper in suburbs which include
Batu Berendam, Cheng, Ayer Keroh and Taman Tasik Utama. While outside
Malacca City, industrial areas include Alor Gajah. On 21 October 2010 an event
was held to announce that Malacca had met the benchmark of Developed State
as set out by OECD Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
and a declaration of Melaka Maju 2010 was made by Malaysian Prime
Minister Najib Abd Razak.

There are different factors that pose negative economic impacts on tourism, in
case where tourists don't respect the traditions, culture or local life style of
tourist destination, or seasonal jobs such as people are only employed when
there are only high influx of tourist, which can lead to high rates of
unemployment, furthermore, jobs involved in the tourism industry are seasonal
and not well paid, this can be very dangerous for countries that has full become
dependent on tourism as their main source of revenue. Infrastructure and
incidental cost, this situation could occur when there is record or receipt of high
level of damage on infrastructures than the amount earn from tourist visits
Economic dependence, if Malacca eventually solely dependent on tourism may
pose danger to their economy, this can cause the tourism sector to change
overnight because of the natural disaster, terrorism, changing consumer taste
and economic recession in the source of the country

advantages or significant on Malacca Economic, state development,
communities, social, education and site owners. For examples, there will be new
business opportunities generated for a host, not least deriving from the
prestigious Heritage listing. A wider development of a creative economy in
Malacca is to be linked, as well as to cleaner, safer, more positive civic
environment through commitment to a decent management plan. The plans like
increased local, federal and international project funding access will be
organized. An increase in tourist arrivals wills again leading to greater business
opportunities and turnover. Cultural tourists are known to stay longer and spend
more. Potential for investment in local artisans and craftspeople, with subsidies,
training and identification of new commercial opportunities will be organized.
The continuation of other development and business activities. Greater
economic returns through appreciation in value and improve documentation of
city and state.
