Since traveling abroad has become relatively inexpensive more countries are opening their doors for foreign tourists. Is it a positive or negative trend? Give your opinion and include relevant examples.

It is acknowledged that more people could afford travelling abroad in recent years, and tourists attracting countries are encouraging

this

trend by various measures. I would reckon that

such

a tendency is a positive development because it can benefit both individuals and societies. The popularity of spending vacations in other countries could, from an individual perspective, enrich holidaymakers' personal lives by giving them unfamiliar experience. Every country has its unique geographical features and cultural backgrounds, which means travelling to a foreign country people know few about will bring them a brand new experience which they could hardly gain ordinarily. When American tourists visit China,

for instance

, they might be amazed and impressed by the ancient buildings and massive history; while visitors from northern Europe could possibly be pleased by the abundant sunshine when they go to Australia.

Such

explorations would turn to valuable memories later in the rest of people's life. Regarding a social point of view, the economy in countries and cities visited would be boosted due to the ubiquity of intercontinental journeys. It is widely accepted that some tourist cites can be far more alluring to foreigners than to the locals. When crowds of incoming visitors accumulate, it will lead to employment generations in a wide range of industries,

such

as transportations, accommodations, shopping malls and restaurants. With a multitude of people gets employed, the general income of the area will increase. Meanwhile, commercial profits and governmental revenues will

also

be promoted by bills and taxes paid by foreign tourists, ranging from tickets, rooms, meals, to a cup of coffee, or souvenirs. As discussed above, I believe international travelling is a promising sector since it can create extraordinary adventures for vacationists, and at the same time improve the local economy.
