Nowadays, many of people prefer to travel during the holidays. Travel can bring the enjoyment, people can relax, increase knowledge like historical sights. Tourism could promote the economy of the cities and towns .However, tourism also has negative and adverse impact which can bring cultural monuments were varing degrees of damage and destroy the natural environment. This essay will talk about the tourism whether have advantage outstrip the cost.
In the first place, tourism bring more advantages are without doubt. Fuel economic growth and increase the job opportunities. For example " Tourism is the fourth largest contributor to the economy of the West Midlands. Each year more than 140 million visits are made to our region,generating over ₤5 billion to the economy and supporting more than 130000 jobs"(network station :Advantage West Midlands). Secondly, the infrastructure development, like roads,water,electricity.
However, tourism has actually bring very many negative impacts. Firstly, cultural destruction. "human damage hastening destruction of Great Wall. As a result of natural erosion, such as weathering and human damage. The Great Wall,the common wealth of humanity is under threat of aggravated destruction" ( March 8 2004 xinhuanet.com). Secondly, environmental destruction .Such as littering from the tourist and some developers exploit the game driver that lead to the forest was devastated. Even some tour operators in order to seek exorbitant profit who regardless of ecological protection, enlarging the visitors to the tourism. So the entironment get more worst.
In all , the tourism has both advantages and disadvantages. But in my opinion ,nowadays tourism might has more harm than good. The tourism is an entirely good thing. But do not make the enjoyment depends on environmental damage.

Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteYour essay is fairly clearly structured, but your ideas within paragraphs need to be more clearly developed and supported. There are problems with complex sentence structure that cause some strain for the reader. Also, the assignment was to provide 2 references in text, and at the end of text. Be careful to do this correctly, and always provide the date a website is accessed when referencing a website from the internet.
