▶ Your Answer :
Tourism industries are gradually making a
huge profit for many nations. In some countries, tourism is much important than
traditional factory industries with it’s speciality that small input make big
output. However, there is also a danger hiding inside. In this essay, I will
comapre the both views.
A great advantage of tourism industry is, the
fact that flow of money is one-way. In terms of manufaturing industiry, if a
country wants to make a profit through international trade, they should invest to
make products which costs money. However, tourism industry does not require a
lot of invest except some managements to tourism site. All the tourists from
hundreds of countries are just giving their money to the nation that they are
traveling. Toursim industry is also free frome the danger of trade based on
currency and technological competition that imposes huge burden to a lot of
countries.
However, a great hidden danger is exist in
the development of toursim. By earning huge profit from turism easily, it is
easy to neglect other important industires which are not easy but essential.
And this neglect will put a country into a great danger some day as we can see
in the case of Greece. Econmic regression hit the world few years ago. In this
danger, country like Germany stood still with its strong factory industry based
on many decades of huge investment. Otherwise, Greece, which was rely only on
its toursim that was inherited from their ancesters without trying hard to keep
up with cutting-edge technoloy and changing world just collapsed in front of
temporary regression.
In conclusion, toursim can become a good source of
profit for many nations based on its charactoristic of non-manufacturing
industry. However, if a nation with competitive toursim industry is stopping
further development to other important industries due to tourism’s adavantages,
the advantages they enjoyed can turn into great disadvandages |
