sure... I meant that yes it is desirable to retain the beauty of a locality, but the way is to manage it properly, after building infrastructure. Whereas, you suggested that, it shouldn't be developed to reserve the natural beauty. I argued that is not the right way.
Then i added, if all started living simple life, then a country GDP goes down. For instance, if EU stooped spending on valentine's day, it would hurt many business.
So we need more hotels, and facilities for tourist, so that people/companies can spend on infrastructure, like roads and hotels, then later, tourist can visit and spend. Overall, increasing local economy.
To reserve the natural beauty, we need good management and laws, and not abandoning the site. Thats it.
