Effects of tourism
Nearly everybody likes traveling. Nowadays, tourism is becoming an indispensable industry in China. Moreover, our government has taken good measures to improve this new industry in recent years. For instance, many appealing scenic and historic spots have been explored. And therefore, thousands upon thousands of tourists around the world flood into China every year.
However, a coin has two sides. Advantages of tourism industry are always accompanied by disadvantages. Those who are in favour of tourism industry argue that our country can benefit a lot from it. On the one hand, we can introduce our splendid national culture to the world. On the other, we can increase our financial income. Additionally, tourism can help to promote the understanding and friendship among the peoples of the world.
The main reason why some people oppose tourism is that the masses cannot benefit from it, because too many tourists will lead to the higher prices of goods. Furthermore, it is also a danger to the environment, because too many tourists will bring more waste, which is difficult to deal with for the moment.
Anyway, as a rising industry, tourism has played its unique role in the development of China. China is a great country which is endowed with natural beauty and possesses historic relics. So for one thing, we should display our best to the world; and for another, we should take action to avoid any negative effects.
