IELTS Writing Task 2 Tourism

Tourism has both benefits and drawbacks for people, economies, and the environment. The benefits of tourism include providing leisure and cultural experiences for tourists, boosting local economies through jobs and investments in industries like hotels and entertainment, and improving standards of living in communities reliant on tourism. However, large numbers of tourists can negatively impact local cultures and environments and over-tourism can degrade natural resources and sites of cultural significance. On balance, tourism delivers economic gains but must be managed sustainably to minimize its environmental and social costs.
