Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals.
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. They have used paints, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, and many, many other places.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. Some tourists walk around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission(准许). For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep.
Walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more, can be seen everywhere.
The only way to solve the problem of terrible tourists is to make sure that you are not one! Remember, whenever you step out of your country, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.
A. But it may also bring some problems.
B. Pass kindness along to future generations.
C. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed.
D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.
E. The number of problems from tourists is endless.
F. Enjoy the excellent food, and go shopping at the local markets.
G. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighborhood in Beijing, China.
