Dear sir/madam,
Which word is more appropriet in the following sentence, although or while?
The sentence is "_______ tourism can affect the environment of nation negatively, tourism can also positively change a people and its beliefs about the world."

Yours

They both are equally appropriate in that sentence, but "although" is more likely to be used.
In that sentence "nation" is not correct; you have to say 'a nation' or 'nations'.
