Nowadays, it is not uncommon to find people travel beyond borders much more than before. Some people consider the prosperous of travel industry positively boost the economy of the destination country, while others argue that it is unnecessary and unusual to mainly rely on the tourism industry to develop the country and the negative impacts are manifest. In my opinion, the international travel have more pros than cons.
Generally speaking, travelling, as an important activity, can not only broaden travelers’ horizon , also enrich one’s experience and knowledge. By travelling frequently, individuals gain exposure to the other countries’ culture and enjoy the beautiful natural viewpoints; they also begin to understand the way local people communicate.
Moreover, travelling industry plays an important role in boosting local economy and a lot other industries benefit greatly, such as: hotel, restaurant, casino and air industry. For example, my home country, Singapore as a travel destination, attract large amount of tourists every year. And various industries gain profit as well.
However, this is not to say that travel industry only bring positive impact on the travel destination. Some professionals argue against tourism pointed out too much travel my negatively impact on the local environment. Despite the fact that local economy develop quickly in terms of profit gaining and service income increasing, the overpopulation and environmental pollution my seriously affect the destination’s sustainable development. But overall, with the revenue gained from tourism, government can better guide and supervise the local and foreign people. Such problems could be overcome as well.
I think strike a balance between benefits and threaten is necessary. Local people should focus on protecting the environment of their homeland and tourists from other nations should do their part to contribute to the environment of travel destinations while enjoying the beautiful view.
