Tourism is a global phenomenon and considered as a rescuer of the underprivileged and disadvantaged, providing opportunities and monetary benefits, encouraging social exchange and enhancing livelihood. It is a major source of foreign exchange earnings and development in the developing countries. On the other hand, it is also argued that tourism creates uneven development in society. It creates a dependency of the country on an unreliable source of income. It increases inequality in income and resource distribution in society. Tourism has flourished to a level of an industry worldwide, but it has hegemony of elite class. This essay aims to analyze the concept that “Tourism causes uneven development in society” according to the theoretical framework of tourism and development by discussing a case study of tourism in Pakistan.
