大力發(fā)展旅游業(yè)的原因

　　Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourist industries. Why is the case? Is it a positive development?

　　當前，人們對發(fā)展中國家大力發(fā)展旅游業(yè)的原因以及這是否有利展開了熱烈的討論。在我看來，我確信它是積極的發(fā)展。在這篇文章中，我將在以下段落對其原因進行分析。

　　Currently, there is a hot discussion about the reasons why there are developing countries in growing number expanding tourist industries and whether it is a positive development or not. As far as I am concerned, I am convinced that it is a positive development. In this essay, I will make an analysis of the reasons in the following paragraphs.

　　首要的原因是，旅游業(yè)是很多發(fā)展中國家財政收入的主要來源，財政上對這些國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展很有利。例如，中國需要大量的外匯來執(zhí)行現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)計劃。旅游業(yè)是獲得外匯的最重要的渠道之一。此外，旅游業(yè)能促進餐飲業(yè)和交通運輸業(yè)的發(fā)展。另外，旅游業(yè)還對國民收入和稅收做出不可或缺的貢獻。

　　The first and foremost reason is that, tourism, which becomes the principal source of financial revenue in many developing countries, is financially beneficial to the economic development. For instance, China needs an increasing amount of foreign currencies for its modernization drive. Tourism is one of the most crucial channels to obtain such currencies. Furthermore, tourism facilitates the development of the catering business and transportation service as well. Additionally, tourist industries make primary contribution to the national income and tax revenue.

　　其次，旅游業(yè)給旅游勝地的居民提供了更多的就業(yè)機會，這在某種程度上消除了一些社會問題。甚至是一些沒有接受過教育的人也能靠賣紀念品或當?shù)靥禺a(chǎn)等謀生，這種想象在旅游景點相當平常，這減輕了當?shù)卣�府的壓力�?/P>

　　In the second place, tourism provides local habitants in tourist attractions with more opportunities of employment, which has eliminated some social problems to some extent. In the scenic spots, it is common that even the uneducated people can make a living simply by selling souvenirs, local specialties and so on, which relieves the pressure of local government.

　　最后，旅游業(yè)極大地增進了各個國家以及人民之間的友誼和相互了解，這毫無疑問將促進各國間今后在國際事務(wù)中的合作。旅游業(yè)給人們提供了一個更好的了解國外文化、歷史以及習俗的機會。

　　Last but not least, it is true that tourism contributes a great deal to the friendship and mutual understanding between people from different countries, which will unquestionably enhance the future cooperation in international affairs. Tourism provides people with a good opportunity to have a better understanding of the culture, history and customs in foreign countries.

　　總之，發(fā)展中國家發(fā)展旅游業(yè)有相當大的益處，因為它不僅在經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，同時也會在政治發(fā)展方面起到積極的作用。

　　All in all, it is of great benefit for developing countries to promote the tourist industry, for it will play a positive role in both the economic and political development of a country.
