1 B2 Extra writing

Dear students,  
this is my proposal of writing for this week. As you know, we have no class on Thursday so you have plenty of time to practice your English.


"Tourism is big business. However, are there hidden costs, and does tourism always benefit a country?" 

Write about the advantages and disadvantages of tourism in a country. (180-200 words)
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
