    Essay:- International tourism has become the biggest industry in the world. Some people think the advantages of international tourism outweigh its disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
    ---------------------------
    I fully agree that advantages of international tourism outweigh its disadvantages. Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries and it is developing leaps and bounds worldwide. It is primarily a recreational or leisure activity. It is used for... Business and other purposes too. Tourism has become a very popular global leisure activity.

    Over the past some decades, low cost airfares have made global travel much more affordable and attractive. Consequently, many countries have rapidly developed their tourism industries to cash on the trend. Tourism brings many economic benefits to the countries.

    Firstly, an increase in the number of tourists calls for a greater demand for new infrastructure and services such as hotels, transport, restaurants, vehicles, ships, aircraft roads, airports etc. Similarly for entertainment of tourists more number of pubs, clubs, theaters, multiplexes etc may be required. This generates more jobs thereby more income for the local population. Moreover, tourism is a “green” industry as it does not cause any pollution like other industries. In fact, tourists are interested in the historical monuments, temples and natural scenes. Hence we must protect and preserve those tourist attraction spots.

    Secondly by international tourism, we can know about their culture, the way of living and many more. We socialize with them and get good lot of new information. We build good harmonious relations with them and their countries.

    Summarizing, there are hardly any disadvantages of international tourism. Need for more of buildings for hotels, Roads and Airports may lead to some space occupation and more number of vehicles required for transportation may cause slight pollution that is negligible. Also tourism industry generates substantial amount of revenue that adds to the economy of the nation and advantages of International Tourism outweigh its disadvantages. Therefore this industry must be encouraged and optimally developed.
