　　In all the three dominant industries, the service industry is the youngest and most energetic one, in which tourism is a just-born child. With its growing benefits, the debate whether people should develop or hinder this service has become a heated issue worldwide. This essay will focus on this area on both sides.

　　The benefits of advancing tourism are out of question: On the one hand, it is international tourism that boosts the local and world economy with a strong awareness of “Green” .What's more, development of the tourism enables the region to improve, financially, which provides more job chances for the unemployed. On the other hand, to attract more visitors to travel around in the regions, it is important to establish such basic facilities as the Internet, expressways and even five-star hotels in some scenic spots. This, to some extent, perfects the local living conditions generally.

　　Nevertheless, it is risky if people are blind to the damage of international tourism: For one thing, an excessive number of visitors might bring about pressing stress in the local places as well as the local people. Many natural regions suffer from rubbish pollution every day and their people overwork year after year. For another, on the spiritual level, the local residents will suddenly change their attitude towards life when they encounter the so-called materialism and capitalism. Most people become more greedy and aggressive, only because they hold the belief that money is the ultimate way to happiness for human beings.

　　Considering both sides of tourism, I agree with the view that we may and must develop tourism sustainably with an almost-perfect blueprint, rather than with thoughtless impulse, which is the most obvious distinguishing factor for human beings and animals.

　　在三大支柱产业中，服务业是年轻也是充满活力的一个，其中旅游业是新生事物。随着其利益增长，到底要不要发展旅游业的争论愈演愈烈。本文将讨论问题的两方面。

　　发展旅游业的好处是不言而喻的：一方面，正是国际旅游业“绿色环保”的理念刺激了当地和世界经济发展。还有，旅游业的发展使得当地经济得到改善，从而为人们提供了更多的就业机会。另一方面，为了吸引更多的游客来当地旅游，在旅游景点建设一些基础设施就显得尤为重要，比如网络、高速公路、甚至是五星级酒店。这从某种程度上，都从整体上完善了当地的生活条件。

　　然而，如果人们漠视国际旅游的危害将是很危险的：一方面，大量的观光游客可能会对当地环境和居民造成巨大压力。众多自然景区每天都在承受垃圾污染，而本地人也得承受年复一年的超负荷工作。另一方面，从精神层面上考虑，当本地人突然遇到物质主义和资本主义时，就会瞬问改变他们的生活态度。多数人会变得贪婪而激进，仅仅是因为他们心中怀有这样的想法一金钱是使人幸福的终极方式。

　　考虑到旅游业的两方面，我个人认为：我们有可能也必须在一个近乎完美的蓝图的指引下坚持旅游业的可持续发展，而不能依靠鲁莽的冲动，这也正是人和动物明显的区别。
