    Arguments
    1. It is necessary to develop the tourist trade, for it contributes a lot
    to increasing understanding between nations.
    2. As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.” Only a trip to an unfamiliar
    land can help us understand the people and culture there.
    3. Since tourism helps increase understanding between people, it will
    finally wipe out prejudice against other nations, and make the world a more
    peaceful one.
    4. Tourism contributes significantly to many countries' GNP (Gross National
    Product). The economy of some nations is based on the tourist industry.
    5. Tourism helps develop a nation’s commerce because tourists are most
    likely to buy souvenirs wherever they go.
    6. Tourism provides jobs for many people and helps solve or ease the social
    problem of unemployment.
    7. Tourism helps accelerate a city's construction and its
    embellishment.
    8. Contact with tourists from afar widens the horizon of the local
    people.
    9. The tourist trade gives people a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery
    of the world and the wonders of mankind.
    10. Tourism will help people learn about different cultures of the
    world.
    Counter-arguments
    1. Tourism cannot increase understanding between nations because tourists
    are often trapped in big hotels and only gaze at the natives from a
    distance.
    2. Tourism does not wipe out prejudice, but leads to the persistence of
    national stereotypes because when travelling, you notice only characteristics
    which confirm your preconceptions.
    3. It is true that foreign friends can make people understand stereotypes
    are absurd and harmful, but the tourist trade prevents people from making
    foreign friends.
    4. Since tourists do not have time to mix with the local people, they
    cannot have a full view of the local culture.
    5. Tourism makes some parts of the world too crowded a place to live
    in.
    6. Tourism creates pollution and has destroyed many beautiful scenic
    spots.
    7. Tourists cannot have a full enjoyment of the beautiful scenery because
    the places they visit are restricted by organizers.
    8. As the saying goes, “Travel makes a wise man better, but a fool
    worse.”
    9. Contact with and assimilation of other cultures will reduce the
    uniqueness of one’s own culture and make the world less colourful than
    before.
    The booming tourist trade has brought about mass exchange of population
    between different nations. At first glance, this bridges the understanding and
    communication between different cultures. In my opinion, however, this
    fast-growing industry has produced tension between people from different
    cultural background.
    The first barrier for curious tourists from all over the world is the
    problem of language. The most attractive destinations of tourism are,
    ironically, less developed areas where the world language --- English, has not
    been prevalent. Therefore, the direct contact between tourists and local
    residents has been cut down. The tour guide, normally interpreter too, becomes
    the only link of communication. But unfortunately, as indicated in any
    guide-training handbook, the responsibility of a tour guide is to arouse the
    tourists’ interest and passion rather than present a lecture on cultural
    difference. Thus, tourists, beyond their expectations, cannot fully understand
    the cultures which appear to be exotic.
    Another obstacle is from the local government. As I argue before, in most
    of case, the ‘local’ refers to the less developed regions. In order to attract
    foreign investment and maintain the local tourism industry, the officials,
    deliberately or not, only hope to show outsiders the positive side of the area,
    hence, the part of local living. As a result, conducted tours are carefully
    censored. The tourists, or ‘prisoners’ to some extent, are allowed to see only
    what the organizers want them to see and no more. A window-shop schedule gives
    no opportunity to wander off on one’s own. In this way, even for a knowledgeable
    traveler with practical experience can only ‘see’ the superficial of the local
    culture. If so, an instant misunderstanding will be falsely shaped.
    All things considered, the international tourism contributes absolutely
    nothing to increasing understanding. Instead, in its way as it is today, a
    hideous prejudice and misinterpretation will be established.
