IELTS Reading: tricky passage
The following excerpt comes from test 3 in Cambridge IELTS book 10.
The travel industry includes: hotels, motels and other types of accommodation; restaurants
and other food services; transportation services and facilities; amusements, attractions and
other leisure facilities; gift shops and a large number of other enterprises. Since many of
these businesses also serve local residents, the impact of spending by visitors can easily
be overlooked or underestimated. In addition, Meis (1992) points out that the tourism
industry involves concepts that have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision
makers. Moreover, in all nations this problem has made it difficult for the industry to develop
any type of reliable or credible tourism information base in order to estimate the contribution
it makes to regional, national and global economies.
Are the two statements below true, false, or not given?
1. Visitor spending is always greater than the spending of residents in tourist areas.
2. It is easy to show statistically how tourism affects individual economies.
Extra task:
Can you explain the meaning of the phrase "the tourism industry involves concepts that
have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision makers"?
