Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries and contributes a great deal to economies around the world. However, the damage tourism can cause to local cultures and the environment is often ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree ?

It is certainly true that, taken as a whole, the tourist industry generates huge sums of money for the global economy.
Moreover
, the local economies of resorts around the world are often dependent on the influx of visitors every year, particularly with regards to local employment. My own country welcomes a huge number of overseas visitors annually, and a significant number of people are employed in the hotel industry as a restaurant.
However
, it is sometimes argued that a significant share of the money generated goes not to the local economy but to the multinational companies that supply the transport to and from the destination and the hotel chains and shopping outlets that offer hospitality to these visitors. Cities
also
 point to the negative effect of
tourism
 on local culture. The way of life indigenous people can often be undermined by developments that prioritize the needs of the visiting tourists.
Finally
, there is the widespread effect of
tourism
 on the environment. The arrival of huge numbers of tourists can be a drain on scarce local resources
such
 as water, food and energy. Pollution, both through

Suggestion
an increase
 in passenger flights and the local waste generated concern.
Then
 of course there is the physical impact on the landscape and ecosystem of large-scale construction.
Nonetheless
, it is probably wrong to claim the problems are being ignored. The growth in sustainable
tourism
 is evidence that people are aware of the impact they are having and are keen to contribute to a more positive experience, for themselves as well as for local people and the environment. As the market tends to determine how things develop, we can only hope that the demand for
this
 form of responsible
tourism
 continues to grow.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
