▶ Topic : In order to attract more tourists, the governments should improve the safety by hiring more police or improve the appearance by repairing the old buildings and streets. 2015/9/5 Some people might argue that it is essential to improve the appearance by repairing the old buildings and streets in order to attract more visitors. However, I personally believe that the safety is more important than the appearance. Two ideas stated below can be valid evidence to support my view.
First of all, even though a country has a lot of places or activities for tourists, it is no use when the safety is threatened. Modern days, there have been some kinds of threats to people’s lives such as terror, gun shot, and so on. For example, one of the significant issue occured in Paris, the terror. The Eiffel tower is the best-known symbol of Paris and has become a place that the event which puts many people not only citizens but from other countries in a dangerous situation. This shows that even people come to place enjoy their trips, they cannot do under the fear. Moreover, a study conducted by renowned professor named Sam Adams from University of California, Los Angeles indicates that people who suffered from sudden and unknown attack or fear frequently cannot go on a trip further whereas people who do not tend to travel around the world. This proves my assertion that it is impossible to attract many visitors if it do not have strong safety guardline.
Second, it is not beneficial for the country to repair the old buildings and streets. This is because that sometimes old atmosphere gives emotional relief to people willing to visit them. People today are weary with too much stress. As a way to relieve their stress, they travel around the world and this is not a luxurious trip but a trip with their backpacks. My personal experience can be used to prove this point. Every morning, I have to get through traffic congestion to go to my work and read through countless materials. To make matters worse, I get exhausted coping with my subordinates and bosses. In order to get emotional relief, I save money every month and go on a trip with my friend at the end of the year. A few years ago, we travelled to Cuba where the paves were old and the transportation was not fast as my country, specifically I rode on a car driven by horeses. Additionally, the houses and other facilities were old-fashioned and I could not access internet on every street. However, these things greatly helped me to relieve my stress from hectic schedules or other competitions between people. Although going on a trip is only for a short time, this is effective to invigorate myself and prepare upcoming days. Thus, I think that the country which wants more visitors should remain their old buildings and streets intact. To sum up, I personally believe that the governments should focus on improving the safety not the appearance. This is because the trip is available when the safety is secured and old buildings or streets might be effective for people to relieve their stress. |
