Being the world’s biggest industry in the twentieth century, tourism has both advantages and

disadvantages.
Nowadays many people travel around the world. They get new experience, emotions, relaxation… But is
it that good? In some cases a trip can be even dangerous. If it is, is the new experience worth going for a
trip?
    One major disadvantage of tourism is that it is dangerous. There are many animals and deceases
which are not common for our country, and we do not know about their existence and symptoms. When
people get back they don’t pay attention to the strange symptoms until it becomes really bad. Culture
difference can also cause getting into trouble. Sometimes peoples are so different that it can cost a
person his life. Secondly, a trip can be very tiring, even more than work. Last but not the least fact is the
expensiveness of trips. A family can buy something useful for the money it spends on a trip.

It can be admitted that tourism offers many advantages. The most obvious advantages is generating
huge amounts of money which contributes considerably to the economic growth of an area. By
attracting people from almost everywhere, the area can get much money in order to develop the other
essential public services such as hospitals and schools. Another advantage is giving the citizen of the
area the chance to escape poverty and attain a higher living standard. Developing tourism services
means that more infrastructure such as roads, hotels are built; therefore, more jobs in all levels are
created.
    Nevertheless, the experience a person gets from a trip is always unforgettable! To travel is a good way
to put into practice language knowledge and to improve it. Besides, exploring a new culture makes
people be more intelligent and broad-minded. Knowledge which is got from a trip is incomparable with
watching TV or reading books. A very important advantage of tourism is that one can relax. Some people
like active rest, some prefer lying on the beach, some like to communicate, some dislike. One can
choose a trip which fits his taste. It helps to escape daily routine and bright impressions will be left for
the whole life.
