Tourism is a multibillion-dollar industry that supports economic development. However, some people think that it causes too much damage to the local environment and culture.
What do you think?
选项
答案
Tourism, as a multibillion-dollar business, is booming everywhere. Some people, labouring under the belief that tourism serves as an engine of economic growth, seem to ignore its negative effects on the environment and culture. But I think that these are not concerns that we can shrug off lightly.
Over the past century, with the development of new transportation means, travel has become easier than ever. Many popular places are flooded with visitors, who spoil the beauty of nature by creating and leaving behind God-knows-how-much trash. In addition, a lot of unsightly artificial facilities have been and continue to be built in order to promote tourism, with disastrous effects on the environment.
Another drawback of tourism is the conducted tour, which greatly restricts the exposure of tourists to local culture, and contributes little to mutual understanding between nations and cultures. On the contrary, the superficial impressions tourists get during such tours only intensify their stereotyped ideas about other cultures. On the other hand, the foreign ways introduced by travelers may well have an adverse impact on the local people, who tend to be susceptible to the influence of more advanced cultures. In the long run, the uniqueness of individual cultures will be wiped out by such homogenisation.
But don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that the tourism industry shall be banned in any country, as it does help to shore up the economy in places which offer few sources of income, the significant point is that the unchecked growth of the travel business may render the development of an economy unsustainable. So steps have to be taken to prevent the iocal culture from being "contaminated" or even engulfed by other cultures. It is high time that we did something to rectify this by taking the environment and cultural protection into account.
