About the usage of "appreciate"
I want to ask if it's OK to use "appreciate "in the following sentence? And is there a better choice?
With extra income resulted from economic growth, a rising number of people nowadays enjoy travelling to distant places to appreciate the historic spots or gorgeous landscapes of certain renowned destinations.

Question

Answer

I'd use ''enjoy'' in this case. You appreciate something when you feel thankful towards somebody.
For example: You are sick and your best friend comes over to take care of you. In that case you feel thankful, as he is doing a favor for you. In other words, you appreciate the fact that your best friend is taking care of you.

Answer

It is OK. It certainly doesn't sound wrong.
As Ian said, 'enjoy' would be more common, but appreciate can be used in this situation to sound a bit more poetic. 
My person opinion is however that you have overdone the poetic in this sentence by using all of Appreciate/Gorgeous/Renowned.

Answer

Thanks for your advice and I haven't noticed that:P

Answer

You should have written 'resulting'.
