Question

The costs of international travel are decreasing and tourism is growing. What are the advantages and disadvantages of increasing tourism activity in different countries?

A person who born in the late twentieth century has seen a lot of changes taken place in almost all areas of human life. There has been seen a significant decrease of the travel abroad expenses, which encourages more people travel more and more. In this essay, I would like to mention some benefits and demerits of the growth of tourism.

First of all, one of the most crucial advantages is that the tourist trade is vital for some economies. a number of countries consider tourism as a key sector of their economy, which mean these receive a lot of benefits of tourism income. For example, Singapore is known as one of the most visited countries in the world attracts millions of travelers every year.  Secondly, the increase of tourism activity may help to improve the standard of living in these countries. If countries want to attract more visitors, they have to enhance simultaneously the quality of accommodation, transport and entertainment such as building well-qualified resorts, advanced health-care centers and so on. Therefore, the locals will probably take advantage of these. Last but not least, it is no dubious that tourists can experience different cultures when they visit those countries. People always want to find out the particular customs and learn different languages as well.

However, having said that, there are some major drawbacks of the growth of tourism activity. Firstly, the building of facilities and infrastructure can destroy the wildlife environment.  This development would damage the animal’s native habitat in well-travelled place. In the past, numerous forest lands have been cut down and they have been replaced by high-class edifice. Secondly, tourism creates pollution and waste. If the percentage of tourists increases, they will produce ever greater quantities of waste and car exhaust. These may have a devastating effect on the local surrounding environment. Finally, the arrivals of a group of tourists may break the local habit. The locals may have to working late at night in high season and they will probably take threats of different kind of emerging crime such as drugs and infectious diseases.

In conclusion, the increase of tourism activity brings considerable benefits to countries, but not all of the outcomes of this growth have been positive.

Answer 2

Hi

I think that you need to be careful about a verb agreement problem. for example, "a person who borns.."," a number of countries considers tourism as a key sector of their economy(although a word "countries" is plural, before it is a phrase "a number of" is singular,so you must add "s" at the of the verb "consider", which means that these receive a lot of benefits of tourism income.

Moreover, I am not sure that " more people travel more and more" is correct. It would be better if you write "people travel more and more" or "many people travel more and more".

Finally, I think your grade will better off if you proofread yoour essay after you wrote it. And you need to review your sentence structure. some makes me confused.

Thanks for your essay. If there are anything from my comment that you disagree, please let me know to check it again because I wrote it from my own knowledge, so I still have mistakes. Thanks for your help. Have luck in your english learning.

"A number of" means "a lot of"

thank you for your rely, but "A number of" means "a lot of" the verb use after these phrases still have to add "s" at the end. you can check it on Oxforddictionary.com.
