A"smokelessindustry",Tourism,isdevelopingrapidlyinChina.Withtheopenandreformpolicybeingcarriedout,thousandsuponthousandsofforeignvisitorsarecrowdingintoourcountry.Theyareeagertoseethisoldmysteriouslandwithasplendidcultureofmorethan5000years.

Tourism,however,givesrisetoanumberofproblems.Forinstance,itbecomesaburdentoourinefficienttransportationsystem.Besides,thelivingstandardoftheaverageChineseisstillnothighenoughtobeabletoaffordthemanydifferentsortsofexpensesduringlongdistancetravels.

Nowadays,internationaltourismisthebiggestindustryintheworld.Unfortunately,itcreatestensionratherthanunderstandingbetweenpeoplefromdifferentcultures.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagree?
Theboomingtouristtradehasbroughtaboutmassexchangeofpopulationbetweendifferentnations.Atfirstglance,thisbridgestheunderstandingandcommunicationbetweendifferentcultures.Inmyopinion,however,thisfast-growingindustryhasproducedtensionbetweenpeoplefromdifferentculturalbackground.
Thefirstbarrierforcurioustouristsfromallovertheworldistheproblemoflanguage.Themostattractivedestinationsoftourismare,ironically,lessdevelopedareaswheretheworldlanguage---English,hasnotbeenprevalent.Therefore,thedirectcontactbetweentouristsandlocalresidentshasbeencutdown.Thetourguide,normallyinterpretertoo,becomestheonlylinkofcommunication.Butunfortunately,asindicatedinanyguide-traininghandbook,theresponsibilityofatourguideistoarousethetourists’interestandpassionratherthanpresentalectureonculturaldifference.Thus,tourists,beyondtheirexpectations,cannotfullyunderstandthecultureswhichappearstobeexotic.
