Today, people become easier and it is more affordable to visit other countries. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

POSITIVE

+ enrich knowledge

+ discover new market

+ entertain themselves

NEGATIVE

+ waste of money, spend money doing other useful things

+ health concerns: epidemics

+ loss of cultural identity

+ safety

+ illegal immigration

Travelling gains its popularity, undeniably. Some people think that it is a sign of fast development of countries while others believe that there are more pains than gains behind this trend. I partly agree with the former statement.

On one hand, this activity bestows several benefits on individuals and nations. First of all, by travelling, people can enrich their knowledge through the discovery of new places, people and cultures while they can spread their quintessence to host countries. Economically speaking, tourism business benefits greatly with the number of visitors increasing annually and finding this activity affordable. In return, though travellers spend a certain amount of money on their services, they tap into new markets and come up with new ideas to do businesses in these new nations as well. Basically, after long days of assiduity, the idea of traveling satiates people who get bored with mundane tasks, stress and deadlines.

On the other hand, there are risks involved in the escalating number of visitors to other nations. For instance, if they travel to places of low security, their lives are put at risk. One of my close friends lost his life while visiting Thailand in a bloody strike. Natural disasters endanger visitors’ destinies, too. Facts have shown that thousands of visitors, during their relaxation hours at Indonesian and Indian beaches were swept away in the wake of Tsunami. Besides, surveys indicate that there are an increasing number of people suffering chance of avian flu and other epidemics in their visits to tropical areas. Travelling, in other words, contributes to intensifying plagues. Traditionalists are also concerned about loss of cultural identify after realizing that children seem to fall in love with new cultures, instead of trying to learn the old value. Authorities, at the same time, find it unbearable when some people attempt to have illegal immigration through travelling.

In brief, there are pros and cons when more and more people visit other countries. The most important thing is that while enjoying their holidays, visitors should be well aware of potential menaces.

Positive and negative effects of space travel tourism

Đề 07-07-2013

Space travel tourism is developing. What are both positive and negative effects of this trend?

Pros

- Discover new things

- Entertain youngsters

- Generate profit

Cons

- Technology investment

- Health effects

- Air pollution

Space travel is a trend in today's world. Some people claim that this trend motivates people to go beyond the limit and discover new things on other planets while others claim that this can result in financial loss for governments. My essay will discuss both positive and negative effects of this tendency.

On one hand, space travel tourism creates new opportunities. Educationally speaking, this trend stimulates people on Earth to discover new things on other planets. Scientific evidence shows that there is similarity between the Earth and planets outside, thanks to which humans can find out alternative natural resources and even make use of water on Mars to meet growing demand at home. Some samples of rocks and items are sources for scientists to come up with logical theories and predict accurately the effects of volcanic eruption. In addition, the need to travel outside this world is more prevalent, especially among youngsters who are fed up with mundane life. According to surveys, each year sees hundreds of youngsters and rich people who are ready to pay thousands of dollars to set their foot on new planets and even want to die there.

On the other hand, several drawbacks are seen in this trend. For one reason, governments should take into great consideration the matter of finance. The task of providing the most cutting edge space shuttles, training experts to control under high pressure and the like may add up to millions of dollars, let along the problem of physical health deterioration of passengers. Facts have shown that people's body will be distorted during the time they are floating inside the space shuttle, with their legs becoming thinner, faces being out of shape and internal organs adversely affected. To those who suffer respiration problems find it less comfortable to live an environmental without gravity. Air pollution is another disadvantage. With people appearing on other planets along with other equipment, the atmosphere of planets may be put in danger. Risks are extremely high in case of shuttle explosion as seen in a series of Apollo ships in America some years ago.

In brief, space travel tourism has both pros and cons. Any person who dares to enter a new world should be acutely aware of their finance, health, knowledge and risk before deciding to embark on the space shuttle.
