This
essay will discuss the merits and provide a conclusion with my opinion.
To begin
with, there are multiple reasons why

.
Firstly
,
tourism
is considered

a main source of income for the government in many countries.
Therefore
, they need to encourage

, so they can utilize the profit to develop the

For instance

economic situation will be badly impacted.
Secondly
, each

is looking to spread their culture and heritage to the globe. To do
this
, they need to reduce the cost of the tourist locations, so visitors can afford to visit them and know more about the
country
's history.
Furthermore
, if the

increases the fees of the attractive location, visitors will feel that they are treated differently

For example
, many tourists are cancelling their trips after discovering they have to pay extra

and they are not equally treated as local citizens.
To sum up

tourism
has many advantages for the

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
