IELTS WRITING TASK 2 International Tourism

International tourism is now more common than ever before. Some feel that this is a positive trend, while others do not.

What are your opinions on this?

International tourism has grew dramatically in recent years. Although this trend has brought many unresolved problems to host countries, I would argue that its influence has been positive. Two benefits associated with this trend are as follows.

First of all, global tourism gives people, especially the ones in developing countries, chances to travel without much trouble compared to the past. Travelling has always played a significant role in exchanging information and culture around the world. It also help people widen their personal view and enrich their life experiences. Admittedly, international tourism does worsen the local problems such as prostitution or drug abuse. However, with a stern international law, people can prevent illegal activities or at least keep it in line. And people with an innocent intention can be allowed to depart their own voyage.

And equally importance, international tourism can bring the host countries a good fortune. Evidently, many countries have been given tremendous income from the travel industry which bring the nations millions of dollars. On the other hand, it also links with several industries, especially the entertainment business and they share their mutual benefits together. If a nation puts a stop to international tourism, it not only lose the tourism valuable profit, but also do lower the development of other industries, and harm its own image to other countries in the world.

In conclusion, the challenges presented by the booming of international tourist industry are numerous and complex. However, its advantages are hard to be ignored and we can take our step to solve the many problems one by one.
