Tourism is becoming more and more popular. It’s one of the best ways to spend a holiday. It’s also a well-developed business nowadays. There are so many means of travelling around the world, such as jet-planes, express trains, cruise liners, comfortable buses, personal cars and else. We can choose what’s best for us. I’m glad that tourism has become more available because I love travelling. I have already visited several nearby countries, such as Ukraine, Abkhazia, Turkey, Belarus, Poland and Czech Republic. My parents often take me to other countries and cities on holiday. They also let me travel with school group to Europe by bus. Last year we visited Poland and Czech Republic. I should say it was a great trip and we saw lots of famous sights. I think people travel for various reasons. Some want to visit the places of interest, others want to swim and sunbathe at the sea shore. Some want to go on cruise while others want to work or study in foreign countries. There are people who simply want to make new friends. There are also cases when sick people need treatment in other countries. Tourism has made all these aims achievable. Most travelers carry a camera with them to capture memorable objects or moments. Interesting objects may include ancient ruins, old churches and monasteries, castles, waterfalls, mountains and other places of interest. Having such photos, people can later be reminded of the happy times they’ve had. I’m one of them because I have already taken so many photos of different sights. I think tourism has almost no disadvantages, except making people less patriotic. With the development of international tourism, people have become less interested in culture and the attractions of their native country. In fact, our country has a great number of wonderful places to offer.
