essay will discuss the merits of it in the terms of finance and employment along with the demerits of culture adaptation by the citizens and an increasing amount of garbage.
To begin
with, the rising in tourism is a good way to making more finance from them, which could be used for the development of that visiting

this
case, I think the disadvantages require more concern as compared to the advantages.

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.
