Some people think that the increase in international travel has a negative impact on the

environment and should be restricted.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Recently, some people argue that the increase in international travel has a large negative influence
on the environment and should be limited. In my opinion, I fundamental disagree with this view,
restricting international travel can make a great adverse effect on tourist trade and international
travel is a good way to learn about other cultures.

On the one hand, it makes a large adverse impact for tourist trade. To begin with, some countries
depends on tourist trade get a part of money, such as tourist buy some specialty, eat food, stay in
hotels and visit tourist places in their countries. These make a huge gain every day. If limited
international travel, a lot of countries do not have these gains, countries have an impact on the
overall interests of the country. What’s more, international travel restricted can make a lot of
people lost their jobs, for example, some people set travel agencies to get income, it was greatly
affected, which may lead to the closure of the company, and a lot of staff loss their jobs about
these travel companies.

Furthermore, international travel is a good way to learn about other cultures. Firstly, travel to other
countries to learn about other countries’ culture, history, eating habits, people. If limited
international travel, people only can know these information and differences online, people can
not firsthand experience. Secondly, limited international travel, there is less cultural transmission
between countries, it probably makes cultural block. Cultural communication can promote the
peaceful development of the world, increase the friendship between countries and people, and is
an important condition for the progress of world culture.

International travel does affect the environment, but some measures can be taken to reduce the
impact. For example, government can make some policies to strengthen environmental protection
management. Tourism agencies can also carry out some publicity activities to let people save
resources.

In conclusion, international travel cannot be restricted. It can make a adverse effect on tourist
trade, international travel is a good way to know about other cultures.
