结句

In this information age characterized by constant technological and scientific progress, television and worldwide computer connections provide people with an easy access to various tourist programs and information. Some people begin to have the doubt that this may lead to the obsolescence of tourism because people have been too familiar with the places they have seen on the mass media. However, this doubt is unwarranted in the aspect that it not only overshadows the advantages of tourism, it also fails to recognize the fact that tourism is actually boosted by these tourist programs on TV and the internet.

There is no doubt that today television and the internet are playing  an important role in helping people learn their dream tourist destinations. To attract more audience and participants, the TV or internet tourist program producers endeavor to present people with  the most colorful pictures, vivid description, picturesque scenery of the fancy places people have always been dreaming of. In most cases they would also add a nice background music and some kind of tourist guidance to explain how to best appreciate the scenery. Without even stepping out of their living-room and lying on their couch lousily, people could enjoy the places of interests in every corner of the world: the Great Wall in Beijing, the Effel Tower in Paris, and the Buckingham Palace in London. People’s dream of viewing the world in just one day seems not difficult to accomplish.

But this never means that tourism would die out. Tourism has incomparable advantages over watching the TV tourist programs and surfing for the tourist spot on the internet. In traveling, we could forget the worldly affairs temporarily, see the real scenery, breathe the fresh air and taste the local food, especially the snacks which may not easily come into our hand in our towns. Some people would argue that we can also see the scenery on TV or in picures, or even view more varieties of food. But can we reach our hands out for them and taste how tender and tasty the food is? More valuably, it is of great fun to build connection with people along the traveling. By meeting the locals, we are offered an excellent opportunity to see how the locals live their lives. This may give us some kinds of different perspectives to give us thoughts on our own life. This is especially true when people are traveling in a land or culture which is totally different from one’s own. For instance, my American friend, Josette, when first landed in China, felt so amazed to see many senior fellows to do exercises in large groups on the street or in the parks. She admired the seemingly casual and free atmosphere in which they exercised and explained she wished her parents could retire in China and had so many senior playing partners. These things can also be viewed on TV or on the internet, but they would never exert such a direct and deep influence on the psychology of the travelers.

So tourism is not becoming obsolete just because of the spreading of tourist programs on TV or on the internet. Actually the fact is that the mass media are giving a boost to the domestic tourism and the international one as well. First, the introduction to some of the scenic spots on TV or internet helps arouse people’s interests towards a certain place and if time and money available, they would love to choose a place they have fell in love with on TV rather than a place they have nowhere to find out what it is probably like. Second, the TV and online information could make our traveling a lot easier. They can help us arrange the best traveling route, places to stay, best dining restaurants and learn about the local customs. Some may even teach a traveler to say a few of the local languages to make the trip more fun. In recent years, the website of lonelyplanet has been a forerunner of providing travelers with information like this.

Tourism never would die out simply because of the popularity of TV and the internet connections. Facilitated by TV programs and online information, tourism would take a even greater pace of development.

其实从逻辑上讲，B1如果对speaker的全句关系进行顺承（而不限于前半句）就更好了！

你的提纲跟我的比较相似。
