The costs of international travel are decreasing and tourism is growing. What are the advantages and disadvantages of increasing tourism activities in different countries?

隨著國際旅行的費用降低，觀光事業(yè)應(yīng)運而升。日益成長的旅游活動在不同的國家造成何種利益？何種壞處？

謝振禮老師前言：老外學(xué)院派的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)趨向五段，中國學(xué)員組織四段比較適合考試寫作。五段的布局——【起】【承】【一轉(zhuǎn)】【二轉(zhuǎn)】【合】。除了參考【結(jié)構(gòu)】，讀者同時外教對于【主題】與【內(nèi)容】的經(jīng)營。

欣賞外教使用母語英語寫作的范文，最劃算的是學(xué)習(xí)地道的文字英文。多讀高品質(zhì)范文可以增加候選人三點文法：語言效率，句型變化，字匯恰當(dāng)。

Tourism is often touted as an industry that will never shrink in size. In other words, as the world develops, more and more people will be able to travel. Although many may see this as a positive phenomenon, it is not a trend without drawbacks. Both the advantages and disadvantages of this topic will be analyzed before a reasoned conclusion is reached.

On the one hand, the reduction in travel fare and the increasing of global tourism can be seen as a positive event as it promotes intercultural understanding and global harmony. For example, many Middle Eastern states have opened their doors and embraced tourism over the last twenty years and this has helped shed prejudiced views internationally that all Middle Eastern countries are dangerous. This development clearly shows the benefits of an increasing international tourism industry.

In addition to this, tourism creates new opportunities for trade. For example, many Chinese tourists are bringing back products from foreign countries that are currently unavailable in China. These new trade ties are great for the health of the entire global economy and can be seen as yet another positive ramification resulting from increased tourism.

On the other hand, the international tourism industry does pose some disadvantages. For one, money travelling into countries through tourism can lead to the establishment of some morally questionable activity. To name a few, tourist hotspots in developing countries are often rife with theft problems, maimed beggars and prostitution. The inflaming of these issues as a result of increased tourism is an obvious disadvantage to the growing global travel industry.

Following this analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of tourism and the falling travel prices that are making it more possible, it is felt tourism has more benefits than drawbacks. It is hoped the growth in global intercultural understanding continues uninterrupted as tourism increases.
