ISSUE TOPIC
ARGUMENT TOPIC
"Two years ago, the town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf
course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean
View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean
View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. The best way to
improve Hopewell's economy, and generate additional tax revenues,
is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean
View."
10. The following is a letter to the head of the tourism bureau on the
island of Tria.
"Erosion of beach sand along the shores of Tria Island is a serious
threat to our island and our tourist industry. In order to stop the
erosion, we should charge people for using the beaches. Although
this solution may annoy a few tourists in the short term, it will
reduce the number of people using the beaches and will raise money
for replenishing the sand. Replenishing the sand, as was done to
protect buildings on the nearby island of Batia, will help protect
buildings along our shores, thereby reducing these buildings' risk of
additional damage from severe storms. And since the areas along
the shore will be more attractive as a result, the beaches will be
preserved and the area's tourist industry will improve over the long
term."
