問題詳情

五、閱讀測驗第一篇：Countries with fragile economies and infrastructure may see tourism as a great opportunity for economicand social development. However, tourism developments may not always be the answer to a country’s economicwoes and they can sometimes do more harm than good.Every year, around 140 million people travel from an industrialized country to a developing one. Many willbe on a holiday that will have cost thousands of dollars. The money spent by holidaymakers is an importantsource of income to the people living in the destination countries. However, often less than half the revenuefrom the trip actually stays in that country—sometimes the ‘revenue leakage” can be as much as 80 percent.In addition, moderate or mass tourism can put a huge strain on the developing country’s society and itsinfrastructure such as roads, water, electricity and sewage treatment. That’s not to mention the environmentalimpact. Take Jamaica for example. This Caribbean island paradise has been a mass tourist destination for manyyears and its economy is partly dependent on tourism. Yet tourism has put a huge strain on the natural resourcesof the country and is, in part, responsible for pollution, loss of animal and plant species, coral reef destruction,and erosion of beaches.The local community suffers from loss of natural public beaches, water shortages, and a significant amountof the food used by the hotels is imported rather being purchased from local farms. A lot of the hotels are gatedfrom the rest of the community because of high crime rates, but in some ways this further isolates the touristsfrom the local population—other than those employed as staff at the resorts.
