International tourism has become the biggest industry in the world. Some people think it cause tension between people from different culture. Others think it leads to understanding between countries. To what extend do you agree or disagree? (Write no less than 250 words)

Today global tourism is not uncommon,becoming the biggest industry around the world.In this essay,I will discuss the pros and cons about international travel,and give my opinion.

Speaking of travelling globally,some people hold the view that it leads to tension between individuals from different cultures. It is reported that the residents complained about the mess due to the misbehaviour of some tourists,including littering the street,graffiti the tourists' attraction,etc.According to the report,we can safely conclude that PART of the travellers from abroad did not respect the local rules and regulations,and may lead to conflicts.What's more,in some culture people taboo the pork while the others really like it,and sometimes it can be a problem.

However,most tourists have a great manners so they will obey the rules of the other countries.Therefore some people believe global tourism will not cause tension at all,as well as increase mutual understanding.It is the culture differences that make our world diverse,and through international tourism we can know the other cultures better,which will eventually leads to harmony in the world.

I agree with the latter opinion.Only when we get to other countries,can we understand their cultures and thus respect them,like them,and learn from them.The authority should encourage global tourism so that we could get an easy access to other countries.
