IELTS Topics: Travel and Tourism

Posted by David S. Wills | Oct 12, 2020 | IELTS Tips | 0

IELTS Topics: Travel and Tourism

One of the common IELTS topics that appears in the exam is that of travel and tourism. In today’s lesson, I will help you learn about this topic so that you can do well in your next test.

First we will look at a little vocabulary about travel and tourism , then we will explore some IELTS speaking and writing questions to give you an idea of what to expect.

Vocabulary about Travel and Tourism for IELTS

When you prepare for IELTS, you never need to know any specialist vocabulary, so for questions about travel and tourism you may find that you can give a brilliant answer with just simple language, as long as it is used with grammatical accuracy. Knowing the difference between “I went to London” and “I was going to London” is very important, for example.

Of course, there are other things to know. It helps to know modes of transport and related vocabulary. [You can learn about transport here .] Another interesting aspect is knowing things you might encounter while travelling, such as accommodation.

I made this PPT about travel accommodation many years ago, but I have just uploaded it today. 🙃 I hope you find it useful.

You should also know the necessary language to talk about types of travel or reasons for taking a trip. Sometimes, new words enter the language, such as “staycation,” which is a very recent portmanteau .

You might also find this list of synonyms for “trip” quite useful:

Travel and Tourism Questions [IELTS Speaking]

The topic of travel and tourism is really common in IELTS speaking. It could easily occur in any of the three parts of this test, so you should be prepared to answer a wide range of questions. [You can find some examples here .]

These questions will be pretty general and simple. It is entirely possible that the same basic question could be asked in a number of different ways.

Perhaps the most common question would be “do you like travelling?” This is very similar to “have you done much travelling?” Of course, the focus has changed slightly but the overall meaning is similar: it’s about you and travel .

I’ll give two sample answers to these questions so that you can understand better:

Q: Do you like travelling?

A: Yeah, I absolutely love travelling. I have visited many countries over the past few years, but of course this all stopped recently because of the virus.

Q: Have you done much travelling?

A: I have done quite a lot of travelling in my life. Altogether, I’ve visited about 50 countries and I try to spend a few weeks each year seeing new places.

Note: It is unlikely that these questions would be asked together because they are very similar. Also, I pretty much answered the second one in the middle of the first answer. I just included them to show how a “do you like travelling” IELTS answer example.

Vaguely Related: Space Travel

I definitely consider space to be a separate topic from travel, but there is some small degree of overlap here. For example, there is a reported IELTS speaking question that goes something like this:

  • Do you want to travel in outer space?
  • Would you want to travel in outer space?

You might also see this incorrectly reported as “do you want to travel in the outer space?” but this is not correct. We cannot say “the” before “outer space.” It is not a single, definite place. [Read about definite articles here .]

There are numerous possibilities for IELTS cue cards about travel. Here are two of them:

  • Describe a place you have visited.
  • Describe a place you would like to visit.

Of course, these would require basically the same sort of vocabulary to answer them, but the key difference would be the grammar. In the first instance, you are talking about the past, but in the second you are talking about a possible future.

Here is another one:

  • Describe a memorable holiday.

This is pretty similar to the first cue card above, but the word “memorable” must guide our approach. You can see my answer in this video:

In part three of the IELTS speaking test, the questions will become more difficult. These will include abstract topics like age, gender, ethics, and so on. You might encounter questions like this:

Q: Do you think men and women enjoy different types of holiday?

A: I suppose that in general they probably do have different preferences, but of course we should acknowledge the fact that everyone is different and so there are women who enjoy stereotypically male holidays and men that enjoy stereotypically female ones. To give an example, it could be argued that men prefer more active, robust holidays that involve uncertainty, adventure, and even danger. However, I know some women who love this type of thing and so it is not really smart to make assumptions about people.

Q: Do you think that travelling abroad always changes people’s perspective on life?

A: No, not at all. While it certainly is possible that travelling can change people’s perspectives, it is by no means guaranteed. In fact, when you travel to places like Thailand, you see that most tourists have no understanding of the local culture and just hold on to their own original views. The experience may change some people, but I think most people live in a little bubble when they go abroad, and this prevents them from really learning anything.

Notes: I described the sort of travel that men like in interesting terms: “men prefer more active, robust holidays that involve uncertainty, adventure, and even danger.” This is good, descriptive language!

Travel and Tourism Essays for IELTS Writing

Now we shall move on from speaking and instead look at the IELTS writing test. In this section, I will show you some questions about travel and tourism, then show you my sample band 9 answer.

Here is a question that features data about people travelling. I thought that this travel and tourism essay was really interesting, so I have included it here alongside my sample answer.

ielts line graph about travel

The line graph displays the numbers of tourists that visited an unnamed Caribbean island between 2010 and 2017. The tourists are divided into two groups – those staying on cruise ships and those staying on the island itself – and these had a loosely inverse correlation. The total number of visitors, however, rose more or less continuously throughout the eight-year period.

In the first year recorded, which was 2010, there were about twice as many tourists staying on the island as those staying on cruise ships. A year later, the number staying on cruise ships doubled to a half million, but this dropped back to around a quarter million in 2012. When the figures for tourists on cruise ships dropped, the number staying on the island rose quickly and over the coming few years, as this sudden increased levelled off, the number of people who stayed on board their ship continued to grow again.

Between 2012 and 2017, there were more and more visitors staying on cruise ships. From just a quarter million, this rose to two million, while the figures for those on the island levelled off at just one and a half million and then dropped slightly in the penultimate year, before finishing at one and a half. This meant that, for the final two years, more tourists stayed on cruise ships than on the island.

Notes on the Answer

In the introduction, I said “an unnamed Caribbean island.” It can sometimes be difficult to introduce something whose name you don’t know, and this is a really convenient way to do it. I strongly recommend you say “an unnamed ___” when this situation arises.

I have also used very few numbers in this essay. Instead of writing 250,000 or 2,000,000, I have said things like “a quarter million” and “two million.” This is much easier. [You can read more about IELTS and numbers here .]

Here is another travel and tourism essay question:

In future, more people will choose to go on holidays in their own country and not travel abroad on holiday.

Do you agree or disagree?

Sample Band 9 Answer

In recent years, people have coined the word “staycation” to describe the phenomenon of taking a holiday closer to home. This essay will argue that such holidays will become more common in the future.

First of all, it may seem as though international travel will become increasingly common, but in fact it is quite clear that it is an unsustainable trend. The carbon cost of flying to another country is enormous, and so many people have begun to ask whether it is ethical to continue doing this. Beyond just the personal level, it is clear that pretty soon governments will have to impose restrictions to limit the number of flights; otherwise, the world will suffer immensely from the burden of so many journeys.

In many parts of the world, people are probably ready to embrace this situation. Humans have had a terrible impact upon the world and many feel that it is time to undo the damage done. This involves some measure of personal sacrifice, which in this case could be forgoing the sort of international trips that used to be quite common. However, this is not all bad. Although foreign countries and exotic locations are exciting, there are treasures almost everywhere. Countries like the UK have poor weather, which is why so many people travel to warmer climates, but the natural beauty of the landscape and the extraordinary historical and cultural sites present myriad options for curious travellers. There will likely be a resurgence of interest in such trips.

In conclusion, it is quite possible that in the future people will realise how much damage humans have done to the world. Many of them may endeavour to make the sort of sacrifices necessary to counteract this ecological destruction, and one small step is embracing local travel.

Notes on the Essay

First of all, you can see that I incorporated the word “staycation” right at the beginning. When you use modern language like this, please don’t just jam it carelessly into your essay. Often, it is very informal, so you can only use it when properly introduced. In this case, I clearly explained its meaning and commented upon it from a sociological perspective.

Here is some more travel and tourism vocabulary from my essay:

  • unsustainable trend
  • carbon cost
  • impose restrictions
  • international trips
  • exotic locations
  • warmer climates
  • myriad options
  • ecological destruction

You can see that a lot of my language related to the environment, and of course that is often tied to the topic of travel and tourism because of the negative impacts these have on our planet.

I hope that you enjoyed my IELTS essays on travel and tourism, as well as the sample speaking answers I provided. Please remember that your own answers should be unique to you . Don’t try to copy others too much. Your vocabulary will depend upon your life experiences and the places you would or wouldn’t like to visit.

Read the sample essay for Most countries believe that international tourism has harmful effects. What problems are caused by international tourism? Solutions to change negative attitudes?

Band 8.5 Sample Essay 1

There are several reasons why many people have a negative attitude towards international tourism. However, this can be handled by adopting possible solutions, as will now be discussed.

Firstly, the influx of foreign travellers is often associated with an increase in environmental pollution. Many tourists throw rubbish into the surroundings irresponsibly, which contributes to air, water, and soil contamination. Furthermore, there might be a growing demand for transport, decreasing the air quality at the tourist destination.

Secondly, international tourism increases the odds of spreading infectious diseases to the local community. Viruses such as Ebola and H5N1 can become a threat to the locals if an infected traveller visits their country. In Vietnam, for example, many people died after a visitor from Hong Kong carried the H5N1 virus to the country in 2003. This example makes it clear why many people are still against the development of international tourism.

However, there is a range of options that can be taken to improve the situation. One measure would be that the government should continue campaigns to raise the awareness of tourists when they pay a visit to a new land. Travellers should be encouraged to put waste into the right place or to use public transport if possible. Another remedy is that there should be medical checks at airports and borders. This is to guarantee that infected visitors should be quarantined to halt the spread of the disease.

In conclusion, negative feelings about global tourism still are common in society. However, this can be resolved by taking the above suggestions.

Useful Expressions :

  • The influx of smb/smth : the fact of a lot of people, money or things arriving somewhere  ==>a massive/sudden influx of visitors.
  • To be associated with smth: having a connection between people or things in your mind ==>I always associate the smell of baking with my childhood.
  • The odds of something: the degree to which something is likely to happen ==>The odds are that (= it is likely that) she’ll win.
  • To pay a visit to somewhere
  • To halt something: to stop; to make somebody/something stop ==>We are failing to halt the destruction of the rainforest.

Band 8.5 Sample Essay 2

Advances made in air travel have shrunk the world. With these, today, people from all walks of life can travel abroad; however, the rise of international tourism is greeted with dismay by many. In this essay, I will present the reasons why some local people harbour unwelcoming attitudes towards foreign tourists and put forward some solutions to this issue.

International tourists are now criticised mainly due to their contribution to environmental degradation. In many countries, many famous tourist destinations are now bearing the scars of vandalism committed by travellers arriving from outside. Other places of interest are also gradually being turned into which are comparable to garbage dumps, despite all attempts to reduce the amount of waste by the local community. In addition to this, many foreigners travel on a shoestring. In order to economise, many are willing to sleep on the streets in their tents, which mars the cityscape.

What local authorities can firstly do to change the behaviours of foreign tourists is through education. While advertising the beauty of an area, the media should also strive to raise the awareness of prospective travellers about protecting it. The other method is to pass stricter regulations regarding littering particularly in popular tourist places. The high effectiveness of fining litterbugs is clearly demonstrated in the example of Singapore, where one can no longer find trash in public places.

To summarise, the inhospitable feeling that the local people have for international tourists can be explained in many ways. I feel that this issue can hardly be solved by a single wave of a magic wand – it takes a great deal of effort from both the locals and the foreigners.

  • To shrink the world: To make the world become smaller
  • People from all walks of life: people of different backgrounds
  • To be greeted with dismay: to be unwelcomed
  • To harbour unwelcoming attitudes towards: To oppose to
  • To bear the scars of vandalism: to be vandalised.
  • Travel on a shoestring: Travel with very small amount of money.
  • To mar the cityscape: make the city look ugly
  • Litterbug: people who throw rubbish in public places.
  • Litter (v.) throw rubbish.
  • The inhospitable feeling: bad feeling
  • This issue can hardly be solved by a single wave of a magic wand : this issue is not easy to be dealt with.

ielts essay topics on tourism

Posted on Jun 6, 2022

As air travel becomes safer and cheaper, it is expected that tourism, as a sector, will grow significantly. Thus, it is worthwhile to discuss the possible untoward effects of international tourism and suggest possible solutions to address them.

As people from move one place to another, it is inevitable that they may also bring something along with them. While clothes and bags have no consequences, it is a different story if people try to bring animals, plants and the most dreadful of all, diseases as they travel. For example, invasive species such as Manila clams have been accidentally brought back by American ships from the Philippines during the Second World War and led to the destruction of the native biodiversity due to the spectacular ability of these mollusks to reproduce. High rates of international travel also allow for rapid spread of diseases, creating pandemics. While it may seem harmless, international tourism may lead to serious consequences if not regulated.

Solutions to the aforementioned problems are already being implemented by countries across the world. Regulatory bodies now have very strict protocols regarding shipping of animals, pets, or plants to another country. Nations currently also react very quickly to contagious diseases through lock downs and airport closures. However, there are still people who cannot help but worry about these problems. To address this, governments can initiate projects that spread awareness and should assure their countrymen that they are doing their best to protect their best interests.

To conclude, international tourism has its drawbacks but countermeasures are already in place to keep them in check. In order to change people’s mind about this, governments have the responsibility to keep their constituents properly informed and give them reassurance regarding the matter.

Please assess my essay…..Thank you. Tourism industry is the backbone of a nation as it contributes a significant amount towards the country’s economy.There is difference in the perspective among individuals regarding international tourism. This essay will outline its possible causes and potential solutions in the forthcoming paragraphs. Firstly,the reluctance of native peoples towards the foreigners is mainly due to recent developments in the illegal trading activities.Nowadays,international travellers are opted as a mode for exchange of drugs and other valuable commodities,this eventually poses threat to the society and economy of the nation.For instance, the recent gold smuggling by the foreign diplomats to Kerala,India had widespread attention in media both nationally and internationally.Secondly,travelling internationally poses high risk for transmission of communicable diseases which can later result in pandemic like situations.For example,the breakout of corona virus in 2020 to a pandemic was majorly due to the continuing international travel. The possible solutions for above mentioned causes is to initiate high level customs check in all the ports where visitors attempt to enter meaning in the airports,harbours etc.Moreover,the spread of communicable diseases can also be controlled in a large extend by implementing effective screening techniques,unlike having the tests only procured during the times of pandemics,a general screening is advisable to rule out any traces at the earliest. In conclusion,though the non-native tourists are not welcomed by the local population due to various threats they poses to the society by illicit trading and Spread of life threatening diseases ,theses problems however can be sorted out by initiating appropriate checks at the port of entry.

Many people believe that international tourism is a bad thing for their country. And that is because of various reasons but mostly for the reason that when tourists visit a country they show defiance towards that nation’s customs and traditions and promote their own western cultures which have bad effects on the mindset of that nation’s population. In this essay, I will discuss the perspectives of people as to why they consider foreign travel a bad thing and also the solution that can change their views. To begin with, there are reasons that caused many folks to consider globe travel as a bad thing for their country. Firstly, travellers promoting their western customs and causing folks of that state to follow those cultures. Resulting in, their own heritages disappearing in the process. Secondly, these globetrotters act defiant towards rules and regulations in entering a sacrilegious place. For instance, while entering a holy place one needs to take off shoes, cover their heads and body properly but these backpackers do not seem to care about those rules. And lastly, they cause pollution by throwing plastic bottles and bags everywhere. On the contrary, foreign travellers are important for a nation as it provides us with an opportunity to learn about the western customs and broaden our horizons. Therefore, the perspective needs to change and that can be done with some aid from the government. For example, the government can issue laws like while going inside a sacred place everyone needs to follow rules and whoever would not pay a heavy fine. Consequently, fines for causing pollution and placing more trash cans around the city. To conclude, like the two sides of a coin there are both advantages and disadvantages to a certain thing. To enjoy the benefits we must find ways to change the downfalls into advantages. As mentioned earlier in the essay, foreign globetrotters are important for the bright opportunities that come along with them so to utilize that the public’s perspectives need to transform with the aid of the highlighted solutions in the previous paragraph.

It is quite common that most of the citizens of certain countries consider international tourism to have more adverse impacts than the positive footprints to their country. This negative impression on the international tourism among the natives could be resolved easily. This essay will discuss in detail about the common causes that have created such a bad vibration about the foreigners visit and their possible solutions.

To begin with, the local community always have a fear that the visitors may influence their culture over the native’s which might demolish their own and end up losing their authenticity. Another significant danger would be the possibilities of smuggling goods or drugs from or to their country. Some tourists have the tendency to make racial abuse and share humiliating comments on the country that they visited on social media which may infuriate the locals. Among all these factors the most important concern would be the risk of spreading communicable diseases to the domestic groups from the visitors. The best example would be the recent pandemic which swiftly passed on to the whole world from the origin nation through international travel.

But there are plethora of solutions to resolve this discomfort among the local citizens. The Government could enact strict laws and boundaries to the tourists to prevent any cultural infringements during their visit. Customs department should be proactive and have necessary technical detectors in seizing the smuggled items or drugs. Any racial abuse or commenting on the nation’s stature should be punished severely which would create a sense of vigilance among the tourists. Most importantly, Government must equip themselves in identifying potentially ill patients at the arrival itself to prevent the spread any infectious disease.

Hence to conclude, though the most countries believe that international tourism has harmful effects, it could be solved easily by enforcing multiple efficient solutions.

IELTS Writing Task 2 essay with model answer

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic

International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment .

Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

Model Answer :

Travel industry has experienced a major boom in the later part of the 20th century and has been a blessing in disguise, which has helped some weaker nations to uplift their failing economies. While questions have been raised regarding the negative impacts that accompany the growth in the travel sector, these definitely do not outweigh the associated benefits.

ielts essay topics on tourism

The economic boost that accompanies a successful travel industry is quite well recognised and Thailand is the best example. The entire Thai economy revolves around tourism and the country had been able to uplift its socio economic status through its flourishing hospitality sector.  Egypt is another nation that is heavily dependent on its hospitality sector. The growth in the number of incoming tourists leads to innumerable prospects in terms of local entrepreneurship & employment generation. This is also associated with international investments and infrastructure development. The national authorities, in order to ensure safety of the international visitors provide better law and order enforcement, improved transportation and healthcare facilities, which in turn benefit the local population.

On the other hand, the rising influx of holidaymakers is associated with increased incidences of crimes, prostitution and antisocial activities like drugs, human trafficking and gambling, which affect the values of the indigenous society. The local population are also affected by the growth in property value indices. Environmentalists are also concerned regarding environmental remodelling, that is associated with increased tourist activities in natural reserves. In this context, it is worth mentioning that, by enforcing stern law and order and implementing strict legislations, governments can control most of these negative impacts of tourism .

Henceforth, it can be confidently conveyed that, even though the growth in travel industry has accompanying negative social impacts, these do not outweigh the contributions made by this sector towards social development.

Model Answer (Band 8):

There is no doubt that international tourists have brought a lot of positive impact to many countries. However, these benefits also come with many negative issues. Personally, I feel that international tourism has resulted more advantages than disadvantages to the affected nations in general. In this essay, I will examine both the benefits and their related cost and support my opinion accordingly.

First of all, many people argue that many local inhabitants have been sacrificed in order to make way for the development of tourist attractions. For examples, tress were cut down so that hotels can be constructed; old heritage sites were demolished and replaced by new shopping malls; local residence, especially the aboriginals, have to be relocated so that their land can be used for new airport. However, people tend to ignore the economics and social benefits brought upon by these developments. For example, the number of jobs created by the constructions of hotels and shopping malls could stimulate the economic growth of a nation and benefit the both the people and the nation as a whole.   

Secondly, many people also claimed that the influx of foreign tourists will increase the social problems such as crime rates immoral activities.  For examples, they claimed that tourists usually like to visit pubs and clubs in the evening and that will lead to higher rate of alcohol related problems such as noise pollution , vandalism and prostitution. However, I believe that the millions of foreign dollars brought in by these tourists could actually decrease the problems if the   money are put into proper used by the government. For example, the tax collected from the entertainment outlet could be used to help combat crime and actually make the country a safer place.

In conclusion, I believe that if we look at the overall picture of international tourism when doing the cost-benefit analysis, we will see that they are more advantages than disadvantages.

hi in writing task 1 which paragraph i write overall paragraph

in writing task 2 how examiner check please help me

Dear Pragnesh,

For Academic Writing Task1, you can write the overview in your introduction. Alternatively, it is also fine to write the overview at the end.

If you write the overview in the intro, then start with the phrase “Overall, …” ; when you write it at the end start with “In summary, ….”

Finally, if you have written the overview in the intro then do not repeat it again in the summary, and vice versa.

Go over this tutorial to learn more about writing overview: https://ieltsonlinepractice.com/topic/write-introduction-overview/

It seems to be that there were grammatical errors in the essay. Specifically –

On the other hand, the rising influx of holidaymakers is associated with increased incidences of crimes, prostitution and antisocial activities like drugs, human trafficking and gambling, which affect the values of the indigenous society.

Drugs are not antisocial? The ‘usage’ of illegal substances/drugs are; Prostitution is not a crime unless legalized and the sentence does not indicate if you consider it a crime? Human trafficking is definitely a crime and again your sentence does not indicate if you consider it a criminal behaviour? Infact your sentence indicates that you consider human trafficking to be antisocial (and not a crime)? Same for gambling.

I would have said:

“…..increased incidences of criminal behaviour, such as prostitution and human trafficking, and antisocial activities, such as gambling and the use of illegal drugs….”

Am i correct?

Hi Himanshu,

Thanks for the suggestion. You are absolutely correct. The original sentence was a bit confusing. I have replace it with your version.

Dear Diyor,

There is no restriction on using idioms and phrases in essays. IELTS essays are not like the academic essays that you write in university level courses.

It is fine to use an idiom or phrase if the context is appropriate. However, don’t overdo it by using too many idioms.

Travel to Remote Natural Environments

by Olena Dmytriieva (Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia)

ielts essay topics on tourism

Can anyone give feedback on my writing. Today more and more tourists are visiting places where conditions are difficult, such as the Sahara desert or the Antarctic. What are the advantages and disadvantages for tourists who visit such places? It is generally said that humans are always striving to enrich their learnings through exploring new places. It may be the reason that more people tend to visit remote places where living conditions are harsh with difficult accessibility. There are advantages and disadvantages in this approach. Exploration of these places equips humans with realities and true meaning of their lives. One may learn his own capabilities and limitations. They may also satisfy their self-actualization needs and get to know themselves. Siberia is such example, where despite of difficult situations people tends to visit and upon returning, they contribute more positively to their own communities. When large number of people come to these places, it is also good for their local economy. Many businesses grow with influx of tourism industry and it brings positive impact of lives of residence. For example, there are now many tour operator companies are going to launch their business in Sahara Desserts and many new jobs are created in area. Some disadvantages are also associated with this, if more people are visiting these places than it becomes difficult for Government to ensure their safety. As these area lacks basic infrastructure hence more lives are put in danger. Most people are not fully experienced to survive in these brutal conditions and they add more burden on local services. Secondly, most visitors don’t take care of local customs and annoy local communities. To conclude, we may say that when tourists visit to isolated lands, it improvises themselves and brings positive changes of local community. But at the same it brings challenges for local community.

Travel to Remote Places Essay

by Sepideh (Iran)

Nowadays, scientists and tourists can travel to remote natural environments such as the South Pole. What are advantages and disadvantages of this development? Over the past few years , there seems to have been a significant increase in tourist trips to the places where conditions are difficult or unbearable such as the Sahara desert or Antarctic, This type of tourism is expected to become more popular in the upcoming coming years. But like any emerging phenomenon, it also has several advantages and disadvantages. I will try my best to elaborate on each of them briefly. Let’s take a look at the advantageous of traveling to Sahara or Antartica: Based on the latest statistics from Columbia University which was done on 300 volunteers, it was concluded that traveling to remote areas can be extremely dangerous due to various reasons. In fact, trip to difficult and remote areas such as Sahara desert or Antarctic can reduce the stress and anxiety of tourists. In addition, tourists can challenge their will and power by going to these areas. Dr. LeoFang ( 2009 ) , who is a psychologist at the Wolford Clinic in Tennessee, conducted several scientific studies which published the results in the American Psychological Association shows that people are frustrated with life after traveling to difficult and remote areas feel more empowered in life an increase life expectancy in them. Traveling to remote areas has some drawbacks: Traveling to remote areas such as Sahara desert or Antarctic can be extremely deadly to the traveler because the harsh nature of these areas contrasts with the urban spirit and comfort that tourists are accustomed to. Besides, any injuries or damage to the body due to the distance from the hospital can be dangerous for the injured person. another problem with such trips is that they are limited to natural attractions. Tourists cannot enjoy other aspects of tourist trips such as shopping malls and historic centers and Etc. In conclusion, traveling to the desert, which is becoming more and more popular among tourists every day, has some advantages and disadvantages that tourists can pay attention to them when deciding to make such trips to have a more comfortable and pleasant trip.

Importance of Tourism Essay

by Preet (Amritsar)

Many developing countries place a lot of importance on tourism. Why is this? Do you think that this is a positive or negative development? Owing to over interest in the tourism, individuals are gaining lot of knowledge.which rises the inclination of people towards belief that it has a devastating impact on them.others, however including I harbour the thought that it is positive infested to them. In the starting paragraph with this statement people believe that the importance of the tourism in the developing countries is more instead of poorer countries. Initially, although, tourism is liked just for enjoyment by certain people still some individuals think that they adapt to new knowledge by travelling .for example when individuals go to any cultural place,they can know about culture and moral values along with history.as a result, they can explore their knowledge.what is another factor? apparently,during the travel time individuals meet with new people.various kinds of language are learned by person because when they meet with new people they try to speak language of them.consequently, they enhance their communication skills. On the other hand, if developing countries give more important on tourism, the life experiences would increase because when person go to another country l.they not only learn about new language but also adapt diverse kinds of things such as how to treat with another and learn many kinds of traveling experience. hence, the tourism have positive effect on them. The cynics of the aforementioned notion, on the other hand, oppose the view, they are of the opinion that if the most people travel from one country to another country. the environment pollution would rise with it because they would travel on any vehicle not by walking.therefore, people would reduce the tourism. To epitomise, indeed somehow I strongly believe that tourism is beneficial for exploring knowledge still devastating effects it had on environment are such that neglecting them would be considered folly.

Pros and Cons of International Tourism

by patricia (Indonesia)

International tourism has brought enormous benefit to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the disadvantages of international tourism outweigh the advantages? In some countries, tourism plays a big role in keeping their economy stable. Places like Greece, Maldives, and Malta rely heavily on international visits due to the fact that other industries have not been much developed in those areas. Although it dose pose a concerning risk environmentally and locally, I would say that the benefits are far greater than the disadvantages. To begin, international tourism brings a lot of money to the country. Plane tickets, visas, and other accommodations brings income to the country in the form of tax, this supports the economic growth, allowing more money to circulate in the market. Furthermore, as tourist needs a lot of services, it opens a lot of business prospects to the locals. Places like hotels, villas, and restaurants are needed for the guests, these places are also a way to decrease unemployment rate as they need a lot of human resources to run. International tourists are also beneficial as they can promote the various tourism spots to other people. Publication of the areas can lead to more visits allowing popularity to rise. Tourists may also experience the cultural differences, allowing it to be more well-known internationally. Of course not everything in international tourism is beneficial, the minus point is it increases the risk of environment damage and interference in local communities. Pollution, excessive land-use, and waste are some of the threats coming from the guests. This can disturb local residents as they are the ones who will have to bear the consequences of this damaging behavior. In conclusion, international tourism poses great advantages to both the government and local communities. However, to eliminate the downside, strict rules and punishments are needed to ensure the environment and people living in the area are not being disturbed.

  • Cultural Exchange : the sharing of ideas, information, art, and other aspects of culture among people and nations.
  • Eco-tourism : tourism directed towards exotic, often threatened, natural environments, intended to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife.
  • Hospitality : the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
  • Itinerary : a planned route or journey.
  • Local Economy : the economy of a specific geographical area or community.
  • Overtourism : excessive tourism that leads to overcrowding in areas where residents suffer the consequences of large numbers of tourists.
  • Sustainability : the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level, particularly with reference to environmental exploitation by tourism.
  • Tourist Influx : the arrival of a large number of tourists to a particular place.
  • Travel Restrictions : regulations and rules governing travel, which can vary widely from one country to another, especially in response to crises such as pandemics.
  • Visitor Management : strategies used to control and enhance the experience of visitors, ensuring that tourism has positive effects on the local community and environment.

Tourism is a significant economic driver for many countries, providing income, employment, and the opportunity for cultural exchange among visitors and hosts. However, it also poses challenges such as environmental degradation and the disruption of local communities. Balancing the benefits of tourism with its impact on destinations is crucial for sustainable growth. This field offers rich insights into the interactions between cultures, economies, and environments.

Debates in tourism often focus on the sustainability of current practices and how to balance economic benefits with environmental and social impacts. Proponents of eco-tourism argue that it provides a way to enjoy natural beauty and contribute to conservation, while critics may question whether eco-tourism is just a marketing label rather than a genuine practice. Another hot topic is overtourism and its effects on local populations and environments, with various stakeholders considering measures like visitor caps or increased tourist taxes.

The impact of COVID-19 on global tourism has been profound, with travel restrictions and safety concerns drastically reducing tourist numbers. This situation has provided an unprecedented opportunity to observe and rethink the effects of tourism on popular destinations. Initiatives like Venice’s tourist tax and Barcelona’s regulations on short-term rentals are examples of how cities are attempting to manage tourist influxes to benefit both visitors and residents.

Tourtism is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue for many countries, but its disadvantages should not be overlooked.

What are some of the disadvantages of tourism? How can countries overcome them?

The tourist industry serves as a crucial economic pillar for numerous nations, providing significant income, but it also introduces challenges that may diminish its benefits unless managed effectively. This essay explores the negative aspects of tourism and proposes measures to mitigate these issues.

The drawbacks caused by travel constitute a major concern. The main one is that the influx of visitors can lead to significant ecological damage as natural sites struggle to cope with increased waste and disruption. For example, popular destinations like the Great Barrier Reef face threats from both pollution and physical damage by tourists, which can have long-lasting impacts on marine biodiversity. Moreover, the sociocultural impact of tourism is equally troubling, with the potential to dilute and commercialise local customs. This commodification not only alters traditions but also replaces authentic cultural expressions with versions tailored to tourist tastes, which can erode the cultural identity of a community.

There are two main solutions to counter these effects. First, it is imperative for nations to establish stringent environmental protections that include limits on the number of visitors allowed at sensitive locations and the enforcement of strict pollution controls. These measures help preserve both the natural environment and the quality of visitor experiences. Additionally, to address the socio-cultural impact of tourism, it is essential to develop sustainable tourism strategies that prioritise the preservation of local customs and cultural identity. This can be achieved by involving community members in tourism planning and decision-making, ensuring they have a voice in how their culture is presented and shared.

In conclusion, the key issues with the travel industry are its negative environmental and sociocultural impacts. The best way to mitigate these is to implement practices in tourism that are ecologically responsible and involve members of the community to ensure the protection of local culture. By implementing such strategies, countries can enjoy the economic benefits of tourism while minimising its potential negative effects on local communities and the environment.

Organized tours to remote community and other countries are increasingly popular. Is it a positive or negative development for local people and the local environment?

It is true that tours to  remote and exotic places  on the earth have  gained popularity  in recent years. While this has several benefits for the local community, I believe that overall the negative consequences are more significant.

Admittedly, the growth of the  tourism industry  has  brought enormous benefits  to local people. More tourists mean  greater demand for  food, accommodation, and services, all of which  create job opportunities  and a lleviate unemployment  in the area. The development of tourism also has  ripple effects onlocal infrastructure , with more roads and bridges being built to  meet tourists’ needs . This can be seen in the case of ABC, a coastal city, and also  a tourist destination  in [your country].

The biggest disadvantage of the trend is, however, its  adverse effects on  the  pristine environment  and creatures living there. Forests may be  cut down  to  make way for  resorts and hotels;  marine life  might be threatened due to water pollution, and birds have to find other places to  inhabit . In some places, waste from the hotel industry is becoming an environmental problem that concerns many people, not just environmentalists. Another drawback is that increased tourism may  break social cohesion  in the local community. Many people  make a living  by providing services for travelers and become rich while many others remain poor and  struggle for  the next meal. This  wealth gap   is gradually widening  and  has detrimental impacts on  the bond and the shared values of  indigenous  individuals.

In conclusion, although the growth of tourism to remote areas and exotic countries is beneficial to some extent, it is more likely to have harmful impacts on local people and the environment.

It is argued that there is no chance for tourists to take responsibility in protecting the environment and culture of host countries. However, I disagree with this view and believe that this is a worthy aim that can be achieved by various ways.

Firstly, if everyone was equipped with the knowledge of cultural diversity and the vital importance of the environment, they would be more aware of their behavior. For example, children should be educated to avoid throwing rubbish into surroundings or touching fragile historical objects in museums when they travel abroad. Besides that, western holiday-makers who flock to tourist destinations in Asian countries should wear suitable clothes because they are insensitive to local youngsters there. This could prevent children from copying negative attitudes such as rowdiness and outbound tourists may set a good example of good manners. ieltsxpress.com

Secondly, it is possible to promote cultural differences through both local and international media in order to reduce the risk of having unintentionally offensive actions to indigenous practices. The clearest example of this is that cow which is an edible animal in most countries is a sacred animal and is worshiped in festivals in India. Without such knowledge, tourists may bring with them cow meat and this could leave a bad impression on locals. ie lt s xpress

Finally, local authorities could enact and enforce strict rules on protecting the environment and core traditional value, which could act as a deterrent. In Singapore, for example, throwing away garbage, even a small thing like chewing gum could be fined severely and this rule is widely-known in many nations. As a result, every tourist coming to this country abides by rules and makes efforts to preserve historical sites as well as natural scenery.

In conclusion, I would contend that sustainable tourism development could be achieved through education, media, and laws, and tourists could definitely become culpable for the environmental and cultural problems.

In recent years tourists have paid attention IELTS Essay – Sample Answer 2

Tourism is a unique human activity, experienced by millions of people worldwide every year. As people differ in their attitude towards almost everything in life, the same applies also to tourism; where some treat tourism globally as the focus of their act without scrutinising the other related activities pertaining to it. Hence, the term ‘responsible tourism” emerged; in order to pay a sufficient attention of the tourist to the local cultural values of the destination country, and – more globally – to the environment. From my point of view, tourism must be labelled as a “responsible activity”; even if it is mandatory to issue as many local and international legislations to make it so.

While making tourism, should the tourist carry his culture with him to the foreign country? Obviously, the answer is “No”. If the tourist insists on doing this, he will sure subject himself to great dangers especially in communities with intolerant local citizens. One of the best examples of this is the “Thump Up” sign which is greatly practised in many countries; where this sign is USA means “OK or very good”; while it is considered as very crude and impolite in Greece (which is a famous touristic destination). Thus, it is crucial to teach the tourists a list of common practices that they must refrain from doing, explaining the reasons behind this. ieltsxpress

When it comes to the environment, it is indeed very unfortunate to find that the touristic areas are those with the greatest pollution and litter output! A few years ago, it was really surprising that an international campaign of volunteers aimed to clean the Himalayas from the trash left by the climbers.

In conclusion, tourism should be dealt with in the same way as freedom; that it must be “responsible”, respecting both the local cultural and environmental values of each society.

IELTS Writing Task 2 – Tourism

All around the world, tourism is losing its glitter, due to the lack of responsibility by the government, tourists and local people. Some people consider taking responsibility in tourism by each individual is essential for the better environment, preserving cultures and improving the economy, whereas others think, this cannot be achieved in reality. In my opinion, tourism responsibility is required for better future of the world and this can be achieved with proper implementation.

People travel to different places but never show any attention or responsibility towards its improvement. To make this world a better place to live in, one should take it as one’s responsibility. First of all, the government should take a step, releasing more funds towards tourism and for providing much security. For instance, we find filthy guest houses, restrooms and no cleaning of surrounding places. People travel to enjoy the beauty of nature, but if they find this kind of dirty places, their enjoyment which lead to a bad memory. Even, local people and tourists who travel should obey the guidelines and policy of tourism for a better world.

However, there are some people who think when it comes to implementation of this; it is like a day dream which cannot come into reality. It is difficult for poor and developing countries to utilise more funds towards tourism. On the other hand, it is difficult to provide security and neatness at tourist spots unless every tourist shows attention as his responsibility. For instance, if there are sign boards which shows ‘please use right direction, danger at left direction’, they use only left and if there are any dustbins with ‘please use me’ , they do not use them at all. Thus it is very difficult to make it into reality.

In conclusion, better tourism can be achieved only if every individual takes the responsibility towards tourism. One should think, how much one is contributing, instead of just arguing and blaming the government. But the government should take the first step in achieving this. With this, not only it increases blissfulness of tourists but also increases economy of the country.

IELTS essay, topic: Many believe that international tourism is bad for their country (reasons and solutions)

  • IELTS Essays - Band 8

Many people believe that international tourism is a bad thing for their countries. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to change this negative attitude towards international tourism?

Many individuals think that foreign tourism brings negative effects to their countries. There are several reasons for such negative attitude towards international travelers. However, a couple of solutions could be adopted to handle this situation, as will now be discussed.

International tourists are often criticized for their contribution to the environmental degradation. It has continuously been noticed that they throw rubbish in their surroundings irresponsibly, which increases the amount of litter everywhere, despite all attempts to reduce waste produced by the local community. This contributes to water, air and soil contamination.

Furthermore, foreign tourism has a harmful influence on traditional customs and indigenous practices of host countries because many tourists are careless and insensitive the emotions and feelings of local residents. For instance, in India, some foreign travelers wear inappropriate clothes or expose too much of skin when they visit sacred places, which leads to some negative attitude and the local public.

However, this situation can be improved different solutions which could be handled by the government. The government should explain the benefits of international tourism which contributes to the development of local . They not only spend money in shops and restaurants but also create jobs in service industries, and this aspect could be publicized. Additionally, the government should increase the awareness among the foreigners through different media such as roadside billboards and advertisements, and tourists should be encouraged to get rid of rubbish correctly.

In conclusion, the inhospitable feeling that the local people have for international tourists can be explained in many ways. However, in my opinion, the government’s involvement is essential to change the negative attitude by citing various advantages of international tourism to their country and raising awareness among tourists in order to protect local habitats.

This essay covers the entire task topic by exploring both reasons for negative attitude towards international tourism and some possible actions to change it. The writer explains why locals may resent international tourists and suggests what steps can be taken to transform the way people feel about foreigners in their country. The information is well-organised by the use of paragraphing, and the writer moves from one idea to the next effortlessly, with the help of linking words. A wide range of vocabulary is used, including less common words such as “degradation”,”inhospitable”, “habitat”, “awareness” and “sacred”. Instances of inaccurate word choice are rare, and even these slips don’t cause difficulty for the reader. Overall, this looks like a Band 8 essay.
