Should there be tourism in Antartica?

AffirmativeIt is true to say that there should be tourism in Antartica due to the fact that people will discover unique wildlife in their natural habitat.

NegativeIt is foolish to deny that tourism has a positive impact on Antartica, it simply doesn't. It is true to say that tourism leads to added air pollution caused by the motorised vehicles that tourists use to get around Antartica.
