Organized tours to remote community and other countries are increasingly popular. Is it a positive or negative development for the local people and environment? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Package tours to distant areas and communities have gained popularity in recent years
due to
the beautiful natural landscapes and unique flora and fauna. It is argued that
this
trend benefits both local residents in terms of increasing financial resources and stimulating employment.
However
, I believe it can jeopardize the natural environment and the conditions of local people. The main advantage of package holidays to remote areas is that it makes a significant tax contribution to the local government's budget.
As a result

Tourists
visiting these regions generate a high demand for goods and services, which alleviate unemployment and provide alternative income sources for indigenous dwellers.
For instance
, local residents can earn a living by selling souvenirs
such
as traditional handicrafts or accessories to visitors.
However
, when too many
tourists
visit natural sceneries, the environment and its inhabitants invariably suffer negative impacts.
Firstly
, constructing tourism facilities can drastically change the landscape of isolated regions meaning habitat destruction for local species. An illustration of
this
is that local authorities chop gigantic trees to build huge entertainment parks and give way to widened roads.

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
