▶ Your Answer :With technological and mechanical advance in aerospace industry, people are easy to go abroad with their family for vacations. Some people state that trips to overseas have negative impacts on domestic economy. On the other hand, others argue that traveling overseas gives people opportunities to learn and absorb other cultures and languages. In addition to these two reasons, there are some merits and demerits in this trend which is mentioned in the question box.
To begin with, one of the advantages of traveling overseas is that we can learn other cultures, customs and also languages. Generally speaking, people usually spend most of their life time in native country. They find their jobs or buy his or her houses in home country. So, it's not easy to move around, especially abroad. In my experience, I've been to France with my friends for 3 months. It was one of the best time I've ever had. I learned methods on how to deal with problems in french ways and also saw a lot of gorgeous and famous buildings and scenic spots. If i wasn't go abraod for holiday, I would not experience such a wonderful time.
However, traveling to other countries cost too much. In domestic point of views, foriegn exchanges are drained by travelers who particularly iive in home country. According to a survey conducted by immigration office, the more people go abroad, the more money is spilled out (of the country). Especially in foreign exchange reserve, the total amount of this has decreased for last 20 years. This trend shows that an increase in trips to overseas corresponds with a decline in foreign exchange reserve.
In conclusion, it is debatable whether to travel overseas for vacations or not. We can enjoy and experience new things such as cultures, lifestyles, and so on. In contrast to this, we are able to consume much money at a time. |
