    WRITING: DISCUSSION PARAGRAPHS

    Use the following ideas to write a paragraph about Positives of tourism:


    1. Personal perspective: Tourism is a popular leisure activity. Tourists can relax, have fun, 'recharge
    their batteries', experience different customs and cultures (sight-seeing, sunbathing, visiting
    monuments, tasting new cuisine). Travel opens our minds. It can broaden our horizons.
    2. Economic perspective: The tourism industry is vital for some countries. People rely on tourism
    for their income. Tourism attracts investment from governments and companies. It creates
    employment due to demand for goods and services (hotels, entertainment etc.). It helps to
    improve the standard of living.
    Use the following ideas to write a paragraph about Negatives of tourism:
    1. Environmental perspective: Tourism can have a negative impact on the environment. Excessive
    building (roads, hotels etc.) destroys natural habitats and spoils the landscape. Tourism creates
    pollution and waste. It puts pressure on local resources such as food, water and energy.
    2. Economic perspective: Tourism may cause a rise in the cost of living. Prices of goods and services
    go up. Tourists buy second homes. All of this affects local people.
    3. Cultural perspective: Local traditions may be lost. Traditional jobs and skills die out (e.g. farming,
    fishing). Local people are forced to work in the tourist industry.

    Useful Linking words/phrases:

    One disadvantage of / Another disadvantage of / One other disadvantage of / A further disadvantage of /
    The main disadvantage of / The greatest disadvantage of / The first disadvantage of travelling to work by
    bicycle is that you have no protection from the rain.
