Many countries around the world derive their national profits from the

tourism

sector.

However

, controversy concerning the double-

of relying solely on

sometimes arises among people. In

this

essay, I will expound on the advantages and drawbacks of depending on

tourism

as a way of national revenue. The

first

positive thing to consider is that citizens are much benefited from the

tourism

industry. If a particular place gains lots of influential reviews and popularity, more and more tourists flock to that country.

Therefore

they will spend a substantial amount of money on many things

such

as accommodation, food items, and transportation,

thus

contributing to the growth of the host country's economy.

For instance

, the Jeju island which is located in the southern province of South Korea, residents are rarely provided with many job opportunities because they are living in geographically remote areas from the capital.

However

, owing to the numerous affirmative reviews on Jeju island, tourists have been congregating there.

This

phenomenon offered more chances for residents to be employed.

Although

it seems

tourism

brings out the best results for the regional people, it has its own demerits at the same time. The biggest problem that

tourism

has is its vulnerability to seasons. To illustrate

this

, according to a statement from a local guide in Vietnam whom I met during a journey, most local people suffer from the lack of tourists in the off-season.

Thus

this

can possibly lead natives who are working in

this

sector to seek another job.

In other words

, touristry is not able to ensure long-term employment for civilians. In conclusion, it is not surprising that

tourism

sometimes should be regarded as the main route of national revenue.

Nevertheless

, I believe that the countries have to concentrate on developing other means to appropriate money.
