tokens: Tourism: good or bad? Tourism, since its first appearance a long time ago, can be described as a controversial celebrity . Some believe that tourism is attributed to domestic economic distortion, environmental devastation and irrepairable damage to the exploited places . However, I strongly disagree with this misconcept for the two following reasons . First of all, tourism plays an indispensable role in nurturing the economy in a way it is meant to be . Basically, places of interest often locate in the wilderness areas, of which economy, before their appearance, haven't blossmed yet . Not until the investment of some companies do chains of hotels and services spring up . It will, by all means, attract considerable attention which goes hand in hand with the enormous income for the local residents . In other word, tourism helps divert the local economy to its right direction, which exploit the best out of its own potential . Secondly, even though environmental damage is inevitable, it is not tourism to be blamed for . In order to turn a wilderness into a place of attraction, the planners must have taken the nourishment of the sceneries into thorough consideration . To be precise, for instance, a fortune is spent on trimming the trees, watering the flowers, preserving and balancing the local fauna and flora, in the hope of beautifying the wild . Not to mention ecotourism, a new kind of environment-friendly service, which gives all environmentalists and nature lovers a hand in raising the awareness of people in protecting their coexistent creatures . Because of that, tourism should not be alledged to be notorous for its detriment to the ecological diversity . All thing considered, tourism has proven its friendly attitude towards the exploited areas in terms of finance and environmental impact . In my opinion, the combination of tourism and teaching process is highly recommended in pursuit of a harmonial relationship between human and their surroundings .
