the advantages of tourism?
 
a little neglect may breed great mischief¹.
小误酿大祸。
  
in recent years, tourism has become a boom industry in our country. people are trying their best to explore their touring resources and to attract more tourists. i think there are good reasons for the development of tourism in our country. first, obviously it enhances the development of hotels and shopping facilities,  which, in turn, creates jobs for local people. it also creates a large market for famous products of the local places. since visitors are especially fond of specialties² of the resorts, some new industries develop rapidly to meet the demands. as a result, it brings prosperity to the regions. ?
second, the arrival of visitors always results in the improvements in the local transportation devices such as airports, railroads, roads and docks. the local government may invest a lot in building and landscaping amusement parks and other amenities³ in order to attract more tourists. local people benefit a lot from these improvements.?
finally, tourism is an important way to promote international understanding and friendship between people of different countries. some foreigners, after visiting china, say that they are deeply impressed by what they have seen in china and that china today is quite different from what they thought before.  with the rich touring resources in our country and the obvious advantages of tourism, i believe tourism will be surely further developed. it will not only play  an increasingly important role in our economic development, but also serve as a  friendly link between chinese people and peoples of different nations.
