参考范文
The information about a foreign culture can be easily accessed on TV and on the Internet today. Therefore, some people claim that it is no longer necessary to take trips to other countries any more. This essay will analyze that they have oversimplified the situation.
It is true that the availability of TV and the Internet has granted people chances to explore lives in a foreign land. Especially when people lack time to travel or cross-border travel is infeasible due to causes such as global outbreak of corona virus, access to the outside world is extraordinarily valuable. However, it does not mean that experiencing an alien culture in person has any less value.
For visitors, traveling to different countries can broaden their horizons, which is rather different from indirect experience from TV and the Internet. In foreign places, people get the chance to know different traditions, rituals, and lifestyles. As a result, they tend to have more general knowledge and experience of the world, leading to a broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. Besides, journeys to places such as nature reserves are always relaxing and refreshing, which allows people to take a break from the busy life.
Apart from individual benefits, more positive influences can be noted easily. International travel undoubtedly promotes economic development, increasing the income of local residents and adding to the revenue of the destination country. This is the reason why it is encouraged. More importantly, international tourism helps to promote the understanding between different nations and ethnic groups. During their travels in an alien country, tourists may find its people unexpectedly hospitable and vice versa.
To conclude, although technological advances such as TV and the Internet are just as much a part of the lives as paper and pen have been throughout history, their roles are to offer alternative sources of information rather than to take others' places. In general, I believe people and nations all benefit from the development of the international tourism industry in this age of globalization.
