In recent year,toursim has developed quickly.A large number of people think the toursim have postitive influence on economic development. "It stimulates enormous investment in infrastructure, most of which also helps to improve the living conditions of local people. It provides government with substantial tax revenues. Most new tourism jobs and business are created in developing countries, helping to equalize economic opportunities and help rural residents from moving to overcrowded cities.” (WTO 2007). However people fail to see is that the toursim produce the disastrous impact which may be irreversible or disastrous.As far as i concerned,the advantage of the toursim which devlop rapidly is far outwigh the disadvantafes.
The important and serious impact of toursim is destroyed.With the development of toursim,more people choose the travel to spend time in every year.Without limit of population who visit the scenic spots,the local who want to get more benefits accept much more victors for spots.A part of victors climb engrave or destroy the scenic spots.And the behabior may lead to the spots are damaged seriously.Subsidin or disappearing,the spots must cost much money to be protected and repaired.
Another effect is pollution.A lot of victors don't restrict themsevels,so they cause some environment problem like water glass or air pollution.With development of economic and toursim,a majority of vistors choose the plane to travel.While it have serious environmental effect."Because of the aggressive impact of greenhouse gas emissions,their threat to the global climate is more serious.Greenhouse gas emissions increase causes air pollution and tourists throw rubbish randomly causes the local environment to become worse and worse".(BBC news, 2005) About water pollution,there is dead water in some scenic spots.With the rubbish,the water always expire an offensive smell.
To my point of view,even though the toursim is benefit for economic development,we must find the balance between the economic and environment.And the vistors have responsility to control their own behavior,the government have duty to protcet the scenic spot.

Katrina,
ReplyDeleteGood attempt at referencing, although you need to avoid very long quotes within paragraphs. The majority of the paragraph should be in your own words, and if the quote is too long, then it needs to be placed below the paragraph on it's own (indented). Your paragraphing and point of view are fairly clear. Pay attention to grammar and spelling (for ex: visitors not victors!)
