Sample Essay

The tourism industry plays a vital role in many countries these days. In recent times, many developing countries have been working on the expansion of this industry. I personally think that it brings an overall positive impact on the countries and their residents.

The reason that tourism is promoted is that it helps in strengthening the economy of any country as tourists/vacationers spend money at the places that they visit. This is especially true for international tourists who bring in foreign currency.

There are many positives to expanding the tourist industry. The first and foremost, which has been mentioned before, is an improvement in the economic conditions of the country. Moreover, the local shops and businesses blossom with the coming of tourists. In fact, there are many cities across the world which survive mainly because of the business that tourists bring in. One example of such a city is Goa in India.

Another benefit of tourism is that it promotes the local culture and traditions. This helps in improving the overall image of a country, something which is much needed in today’s globalized world.

However, there is a possible huge demerit of this expansion, which is a demerit that can be attributed to any kind of development. This demerit is an adverse impact on the environment of the place which is developed for tourism. This has been seen in multiple places across the world where serene beautiful destinations are now crowded tourist hubs and the environment is the biggest loser. But I believe this issue can be taken care of if the authorities ensure proper and organized development.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that tourism is hugely beneficial for any country, but especially so for the developing ones. However, these countries should ensure that their environment is not damaged because of this economic push.
