贴一篇别人写的上来,我觉得写得不错

Is it the best way to improve Hopewell’s economy and increase tax revenues to build a golf course and resort hotel? The arguer finds a successful predecessor in Ocean View, which sees increasements in both tourism and tax revenues as well as opening of new businesses, thus concludes that Hopewell can also achieve great success by duplicating what Ocean View has done. Yet in his argument, he failed to make a fair comparison between the two cities, which heavily undermined its stability.
The arguer has unfairly attribute the rise in tourism to the build of new municipal golf course and resort hotel in Ocean View without other essential factors into account. For example, Ocean View may have a splendid ocean view and sands which had not been developed for tourism uses, while Hopewell, unfortunately, lacks such original source for attracting tourists. No one would like to travel in such a city that has nothing but a golf course and resort hotel. As a plus to its natural resort, Ocean View may have done a lot to attract tourists. Good restaurants, interesting shops, amicable local people, clean surroundings, all can be reasons that tourists throng into the city and help the tourism thrive and the tax revenue go up.
On the other hand, golf course and resort hotel are, to some extent, luxurious issues which can hardly be afford by those who are not very affluent. It’s unlikely that such facilities, when built in a city with low average income and no rich neighbour towns, can anticipate them to bring large profit. If Ocean View is on average richer than Hopewell and have more rich neighbours around it, the golf course and resort hotel, together with other crutial offers like beautiful scenes and nice food, are easy to get the interests of tourists and bring up the tourism of the town. However, there are no evidence that Hopewell is suitable to be developed into a town for tourism. If the town lacks principal traits to be an attraction to tourists, while its own people have either little interests or not enough money for golf course and resort hotel, then the decision will bring the town big loss rather than any profit.
Before any further decision, the mayor of Hopewell should evaluate whether the town is fit for tourism. A detailed survey of the interests and income conditions of the town and its neighbours is also needed to see if such expensive facilities will be welcomed. If none of the above turn out to be positive, while the town still want to open new businesses and increase its tax revenues, a better approach is to investigate as to find what is the most suitable pattern for the development of the town. For example, if there are rich lodes nearby, the town can set up more industries. Or if the average income level is high while the town has no talent to be a resort for its natural beauty, then it may be developed into a modern town with lots of shopping malls.
The most important thing to be considered for increasing Hopewell’s tax revenue, rather than imitate any successful precedents without discriminate whether the pattern is suitable or not, is to find out the advantages of the town and make a plan for development accordingly. |
