Tourism Benefit on Local People
What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge
contributor to the economies of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job
vacancy and advancement especially to developing regions. However, this money often goes
into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local people.
Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example,
multinational hotel chains don’t care about the surrounding nature when they build new
hotels. This can cause many social, cultural and geographical problems. Some local people
may get job and money from that International hotel chain. However in case of missing that
opportunity, some of them still have their own environment.
Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in
restaurants, bars and even luxury hotels of that multinational chains. They less go to such
places; restaurant, bar, hotel, shop which are owned by local people. This can prevent the
local people’s business from becoming even larger.
Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature. Even
it can disrupt or destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local people will get
the risk.
So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will
make the benefit spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not cause
any harm to any local people or places.

One day an old man stood up on a bus halt. He looked waiting something. Then he asked to a
young man near him, “Excuse me, what time is the bus to Bandung?”
“5 minutes later,” the young man answered. “What about the bus to Semarang?” the old man
asked again. “Around 10 minutes later,” the young man answered briefly. “Where are you
going to go, Sir?”
“I just wanna cross this street. I’m afraid they hit me,” the old man answered then walked
crossing the street.

Never Try Smoking
A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke, always want to try smoking.
They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. So they ask one
of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly can not light it on their own so
they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke occasionally.
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly.
They can not avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Everyday they
bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a wallet for their
money.
Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long
list of nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also
bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans
died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-related illnesses.
Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking.
Unfortunately, they find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can’t I stop smoking? I
really want to stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is
one of the most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised. As result, when people try to
quit smoking, they often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety,
irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness.
Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker,
you should never and never try to smoke.

One day there was a class of kids at school. They were having a hard time
concentrating on the work because it was snowing so hard outside. They were just waiting for
that blessed announcement of the rest of the day off.
Suddenly, the intercom beeped and they heard the voice of their principal; “Attention,
students. Due to the weather conditions, we will only be attending school a half of the day
this morning.”
After all the students’ cheers had stopped, the principal continued; “And we will be
attending the other half this afternoon.”
