Question: ls a great tourist destination also a good place to live?
Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
Yeah, I think a great tourist spot can be a fantastic place to live too. Locals often feel proud of their city because it's appreciated by people from all over. Plus, there are usually lots of jobs, especially in hospitality and tourism, which can be great for the economy and the residents.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
Unfortunately, I don't think it is. Living in a tourist-heavy area brings financial benefits, but it also has drawbacks. Mass tourism often raises the prices for locals, including rent and dining out. Additionally, there's the issue of street noise and pollution from cars and planes. And about the jobs created by tourism, many are in restaurants or souvenir shops and tend to be low-paying. So, they don't contribute as much to the local economy as some might believe.
