Everything has its positive and negative sites and the tourist industry does the same .However , I mean it has more advantages than disadvatages .Tourism is one of the leading industries nowadays .And travelling seems to be the most favourable hobby now .
The tourist industry is a good way to develope more intercultural communication among many ethnics in the same country or between different countries .Intercultural communication helps all cultures in the world closer to each other .Each one could intergrate into the global culture to remain and go on .
The tourist industry also promotes other industries develope such as airline , food production ...
The most important advatage , I think , is that it is a
NON-SMOKE industry .

Tourist is a big industry that can provide many jobs and increase income for the country. If you are good in investment you can have big profit form tourist business. But it require many conditions such as climate, geography, infrastructure.While climate and geography depent on natural , Infrastructure relys on human being. Clearly to gain the profit you must be creative, wise, determinate and have management skill to solve the hardest thing such as polluted environment. It is very good if we do tourist and don't care about environment. Obviously if you gain this thing you must sacrifice another thing but it is worth or not depends on your brain.
What is love ?

Yeah,I completely agree with this view.In addtion,I should point out that when you are investing a new sight seeing,you should first think about the environment.Don't pollute it!As some examples in our country,please don't treat it as skeletons in the cuboard,it is a fact that some of our famous have been over developed,such as to have built too many hotels near the mountains,dig artificial streams and so on.That sorts of work may destroy the ambience of the whole sight which will hardly be recovered.viveo wrote:Tourist is a big industry that can provide many jobs and increase income for the country.

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
Tourist is a big industry that have advantages and disadvantages. But in my opinion, The tourist industry does more harm than good for two reasons. First, many people in the world has smoking. They travel to another contry and they keep smoking despite it is harmful to public health. Second, nowadays, there are many serious diseases in the world. For example,AIDS, Malaria,flu pandemic h1n1... that we caught it from traveller

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
The tourism industry has advantages and disadvantages, but it does more harm than good.Firstly, the quick developing speed of this field can cause the environmental destruction. Tourists cause environmental damage through forest fires, destruction of the natural lanscape and pollution. They want to build hotels, restaurants for their business, create resorts and super markets.Therefore, the natural environment would be threaten.Secondly, too much tourism can kill the culture. Visistors are from many countries and bring their culture as film,food,fashion,… They bring the bad influence to the community which is not conformity with the local custom .These things can be worse off traditional culture . Finally, the tourism industry is an extremely profitable process in loads of countries, especially those in which the process of development continue to depend on this industry because this industry does not require a lot of literacy and also it yields maximum profits with less investment. In short, everything has two faces and the tourism industry is not except so it need make good.

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
The tourist industry is one of the necessary fields in our life. It has many good effects, but it also has some negative effects. Firstly, sometime it is dangerous especially when traveling by plane or train. Accident will lead to death of many people and effect to economy. Another bad effect is that it causes lots of fossil fuel while fossil fuel is less day by day. And until now we haven’t found other source energy to completely replace fossil fuel. Last but not least, the tourist industry makes environment polluted more quickly. The more people travel, the more vehicles use. This will release polluted air to the environment and cause some bad effects to the ozone layer. In short, the tourist industry is more harmful than people think.

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
Nowaday, tourism is becoming one of the most viable business markets in the world. So, the tourist industry has both negative and positive but i think it brings more advantages than disadvantages. For example, the tourist industry encompasses many different areas, so it also creates jobs in many different areas. With tourism comes hotel, restaurants, tour companies, service station, souvenier shops, sports equipment rental, and much more. All of this creates many different levels of employment for people. Futhermore, it creates employment, brings about economic growth and development and earns a significant amount of foreign dollar for the economy.
Besides, air travel, car travel, and other aspects of tourism are adding to the planet's pollution and this is becoming a impotant problem ..etc.. Sometimes foreigners act with no respects to national traditions; ex: the behavior of European women in Eastern countries, They bring the bad influence to the community which is not conformity with the local custom.
Everything always has two sides: good and bad point and tourism does the same. To my way of thinking tourism...

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
The tourist industry plays an important role in developing each country’s economic. However, it has produced harm for our life. Firstly, our environment is being polluted. The visitors always move by means of transport, such as car, train, ship, aero plane, etc. Exhaust fumes from vehicles cause a great deal of damage to the environment. Secondly, price of many products is increased. Sometimes, the growth of the quantity of visitors makes consumerism jump. For example, the visitors spend their money for their tour. Some people think they deserve doing anything they want. They consume too many products, such as electricity, foods, drinks, etc. They waste too much energy, materials. When one of products is suddenly lacked, it is sure that the price of that product will go up. Thirdly, there are many advantages for people to do bad actions. For instance, some people have a chance to immigrate illegal due to traveling. They, even, disrupt the safety of society of the city like burglary, theft, robbery, murder. Finally, the tourist industry always has the danger potentially.

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industray in the world. In my opinion, the tourist industry has both advantages and disadvantages, but it does more good than harm. Firstly, the most obvious advantages is tourism is becoming a good source of revenue to many countries. Many people travel a lot yearly, so there are many benefits they bring to the area they travel. It is a huge amounts of money which contributes to the economic growth of an area.Another advantage ís giving the citizen of the area the chance to escape a poverty and has a higher living standard. And they have a chance to exchange culture. Tourism can creates understanding between people from different culture. In conclusion, I would say that I disagree with the argument The tourist industry does more harm than good. I love travel and I think the intourist industry does good.

Re: The tourist industry does more harm than good.
Some people think the tourist industry does more than harm than good. While other don’t think so. In my opinion, tourist industry both advantages and disadvantages. Beside have many good effects, tourist also some harmful. Firstly, the effects of tourism on the environment. For example, environment can be polluted air, water, etc. tourism gives change climate. The Earth warm may be is one of main reasons that cause of tourism. Last but not least, tourism cans also effects on the economic. Shops and houses prices will increase. Prices are shooting up everywhere makes people don’t live better. In conclusion, tourism industries have both good and bad effect. So, people need method sensible overcome obstacles and difficulties. I hope that the tourism of Vietnam wills sustainable development.
