Most developed countries experience a slower economic growth
compared the developing counties. Economic growth is very different from the
economic development. Development will elevate the people from the low standards
of living to proper employment which has suitable housing while growth does not
consider natural resources that will lead to pollution, diseases and
congestion. Development on the other hand is concerned with sustainability
meaning that it is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future
needs.
The feelings of the indigenous people tend to vary a lot about this topic.
Some of the indigenous people are very hostile to any foreigners in their land, so they would not hesitate to attack, and even in some cases kill.
There are some that feel it as an usurpation of their daily lives, and do not see the tourists very fondly, but are not making any real problems, just avoiding contact.
And there are some indigenous people that actually saw a nice opportunity to modernize and make a profit of the tourists, so they are using their survival skills in the wild in their advantage, and they are very welcoming towards the tourists and encourage them to come.
