    Global trade has both benefits and negatives for people and places. It connects manufacturers worldwide and provides access to cheaper goods and materials, but can also result in poor working conditions, job losses due to outsourcing, low wages, and child labor in some countries. Each stage of production and consumption of goods—from extracting raw materials to waste disposal—can impact the natural environment. International tourism contributes over $1 trillion annually to global economies but also affects people and places positively and negatively depending on the type of tourism (e.g. recreational, historical, ecotourism). The impacts of tourism are expected to grow as more people travel more often while demanding authentic experiences.
