Do the benefits of tourism outweigh the drawbacks?
Here are some ideas. I've organised the vocabulary according to different perspectives
(different ways of looking at this issue).
Positives of tourism:
1.
Personal perspective:
Tourism is a popular leisure activity. Tourists can
relax, have fun, 'recharge their batteries', experience different customs and
cultures (sight-seeing, sunbathing, visiting monuments, tasting new cuisine).
Travel opens our minds. It can broaden our horizons.
2.
Economic perspective:
The tourism industry is vital for some countries.
People rely on tourism for their income. Tourism attracts investment from
governments and companies. It creates employment due to demand for goods
and services (hotels, entertainment etc.). It helps to improve the standard of
living.
Negatives of tourism:
1.
Environmental perspective:
Tourism can have a negative impact on the
environment. Excessive building (roads, hotels etc.) destroys natural habitats
and spoils the landscape. Tourism creates pollution and waste. It puts pressure
on local resources such as food, water and energy.
2.
Economic perspective:
Tourism may cause a rise in the cost of living. Prices
of goods and services go up. Tourists buy second homes. All of this affects
local people.
3.
Cultural perspective:
Local traditions may be lost. Traditional jobs and skills
die out (e.g. farming, fishing). Local people are forced to work in the tourist
industry.
Thinking about topics from different perspectives can help you to generate better
ideas. This technique isn't perfect for every topic, but it can be really useful.
