Antarctica does not have an economy the only people that live there are research scientists so there is no benefit to the local economy form tourists. Holiday companies do run trips to there in the summer but the numbers are very low about 300 people a year. The tourists do have an impact on the environment but the people visiting it are also the most likely to want to protect it in the future. So there needs to be a balance between the damage and the awareness raising that happens from the trips. As long as the numbers do not get too high tourism may have a good impact on the future of Antarctica.
