Disfiguring a town by graffiti
Unless graffiti is truly amazing art, the chances are that when you see swathes of graffiti on walls and monuments on holiday, you're likely to think that the location is run down, depressed and uncared for.
Graffiti on buildings, underneath bridges, on monuments, park benches and most other places disfigures and makes objects ugly. The last thing that any country wants is for visitors to think that their location is run down and not worth visiting. Councils invest a great deal of time and money in trying to eradicate graffiti and keep their holiday areas attractive to encourage visitors.
Tourism creates job. People on holiday need somewhere to stay, restaurants to eat in, entertainment, taxis and numerous other services. They spend their money in local shops. All of this generates an income, creates jobs and contributes to the overall wealth of an area.
The greater the income and tax revenue, the more money is available to be spent on improving facilities and amenities for a town. Everyone benefits.
