问题     International tourism has become one of the biggest industries in the world. Some people think it unfortunately causes a lot of tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures.
    To what extent do you agree or disagree?

选项

答案     The ever-increasing living standards make it possible that people can travel abroad, appreciating fascinating exotic cultures. Some people, however, point out that this exchange exerts a more negative impact on the relationship among people with different cultures and people tend to be more hostile towards each other. As for this assertion, I am rather doubtful.
    It is generally agreed that the booming tourist industry can boost local economic development considerably. When people travel to a place of attraction, they will visit local shops, dine in restaurants and seek accommodations, which not only provides opportunities of making money, but also improves employment rate. If tourists can bring such benefits to host countries, then there is no doubt that they are warmly welcome, and a mutual understanding is likely to be established.
    Moreover, through international travel, the platform of exchange can further tolerate feelings among different people. For example, when foreigners come to China, perhaps they will be startled when people greet each other with "Have you dined?", but gradually they know the true meaning is nothing more than a common concern showing social politeness. If similar phenomena occur frequently, so-called misunderstanding or culture shock will definitely come into non-existence.
    Granted, international travel contains the potential threats such as environmental pollution and violation of cultural tattoos, which maybe tarnish tourist images. It is true that some travellers lack the awareness of environmental protection, throwing away rubbish anywhere they go. Meanwhile, due to being blind to local traditional customs, some people even arouse strong enmity from people in destination. Those undesirable practices, nevertheless, can be corrected through suitable education.
    Overall, with the need to know more about the rest of the world and the high mobility modern transportation ensures, more people love international tourism. After all, travel is an indispensable part of human life.
