Tourism—a Blessing or a Misfortune? With the development of the economic and the improvement of people’s living standard, millions of people want to travel to other places by take advantage of their free time. So whether the tourism is a blessing or a misfortune become a social problem, drawing a lot of attentions. People's attitude towards tourism varies.
Some people claim that we can get benefit from tourism, both from the perspective of individual and our country. Firstly we can broaden our horizon. While we visit a new place, we can know their own cultures, such their clothes, foods, festivals and so on. Secondly, we can enrich our knowledge. By visiting historical sites, we can obtain much information about the history, geography, languages and so on. Thirdly, we can relax our mood. Traveling can give us the chance to see the beautiful view and return to the nature. For one nation, tourism can help us to get a lot of external funding, promote the local economy, and show our traditional culture in a good way.
On the other hand, tourism has many disadvantages. It can cause series pollution problems, such as the white pollution, water pollution and air pollution. Too many tourists will produce a large number of rubbish and bring a lot of noises. It will be the main reason for pollution. Some tourists will not protect our heritages carefully by uncivilized behaviors.
In my opinion, tourism has both advantages and disadvantages. If all the people can be a civilized tourist, we can get more advantages than disadvantages. The tourism will be a blessing not a misfortune.
