参考答案: Tour Fever Should Be Cooled Down
As a new and expanding industry, tourism is attracting more and more public attention. Consequently, both arguments and counter-arguments concerning its development have emerged as time goes on. I'd like to focus on its counteraction on social progress.
Above all, tourism sometimes leaves the local people psychologically unbalanced. Because it is usually people from better-off countries or regions that can afford to travel, their wealth sometimes makes the local people more aware of their own poverty.
Next, the exploitation of tourism is bound to destroy some natural resources and scenic areas. Environmental pollution is a case in point and its far-reaching harm is self-evident.
Therefore, it is advisable to discourage rather than encourage tourism at the period when the worldwide economy development has not reached to a balanced state.
