Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems.没有合理
的规划，旅游业将会导致麻烦。

If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants became annoyed and unhappy. 如果游客令交通拥挤，当地居民将会感到不高兴甚至恼火。
They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. 他们开始不喜欢游客，也不再会礼貌地对待他们。当地人会忘记旅游业给他们的经济带来了多少好处。
It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.所以，经常想想旅游目的地国家的那些当地人，想想旅游对他们的影响，这非常重要。
Tourism should help a country keep the customs and the beauty that attract tourist. Tourism should also improve the well-being of local inhabitants.旅游业应该帮助一个国家保存它的那些吸引游客的风俗文化和美丽风景；同时旅游业也应该保证当地居民的幸福健康。 Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. 旅游业太发达也会是一个问题。如果旅游业发展得太快了，人们就必须放下其他工作来服务于旅游业。This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.这意味着这个国家的其他经济项目将受到影响。
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. 另一方面，如果旅游业不足，人们就可能失业，一些商业也会亏本。
It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. 修建大酒店，机场，一级公路和其他吸引游客所需的服务设施需要大笔资金。
For example, a major international-class hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.比如，修建一个国际级大酒店的一个客房就得耗资5万美元.If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.如果这个客房大部分时间都空着，那这家酒店的老板就得亏本。
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle wastes and water.修建一个酒店只是刚刚开始，还需要有很多辅助设施，比如通往酒店的道路，酒店的供电，处理污水的阴沟等等。
All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.所有这些辅助设施都需要钱。如果这些设施仅仅是因为没有足够的游客而闲置着，那人们就会丢掉工作，也会损失钱财。
