In many countries, international tourism has become an important source of income. However, it also has negative effects. Do the benefits of international tourism outweigh the disadvantages?

In
this
day and age, it becomes more affordable and convenient to travel around the world, and
due to
that international tourism developed to a new level. On the one hand, it is beneficial
due to
the fact that tourist helps to support small businesses,
however
,
on the other hand
, a huge number of people tend to visit the same places, which makes them uncomfortable to live in. Despite the latter fact, I consider it to be advantageous for visitors and for
residents
as well. Turning to drawbacks that might occur, the most significant one is overcrowding, especially in places which are popular among travellers.Local people find it hard for themself to live in
such
conditions, and often feel overwhelmed or annoyed, which usually leads to conflicts between them.
For instance
, in Amsterdam because of the crowd local
residents
who live in the city centre could not as easily get to their apartments which definitely creates inconveniences for them.
Besides
, a major disadvantage of those crowds for tourists would be the inability to enjoy the atmosphere and feel relaxed and rested. Looking from a positive perspective there are considerable benefits. By investing in small businesses travellers help to develop the economics of the cities and countries ,

they choose to spend their money in small local shops, which helps to create new workplaces
on the contrary
,
residents
, looking for comfort, will choose supermarkets.
For example
, in Ukraine, the most popular city among visitors is Lviv, in comparison to the past it has fewer shops and restaurants, but now people looking forward to visiting
this
city again particularly because of the special cuisine that only is there. On balance, international tourism has its drawbacks mostly for
residents
due to
the uncomfortable environment it might create,
however
, looking at the advantages it becomes obvious that improvement of cities could not be possible without it,
that is
why considering all facts it is no exaggerating to say that advantages, in
this
case,
this
case outweigh disadvantages.

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
