    Tourism, a smokeless industry, is developing rapidly in China. With the reform and opening-up policy being carried out, thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are pouring into our country. They are eager to see(=visit) this old mysterious land with a splendid culture of more than 5,000 years.

    Tourism as a form of enterprise brings China a lot of benefits. In the first place, it is financially beneficial to the economic development of China. As you know, China needs a growing amount of foreign currencies for its modernization program. Tourism is one of the most important channels to obtain them. Secondly, tourism enables the Chinese people to know more about the outside world. On the other hand, the foreigners who have visited China are deeply impressed by the latest developments of our country and the friendliness and hospitality of our people. It is clear that tourism contributes a great deal to the friendship and mutual understanding between the Chinese people and peoples all over the world. 

    There are, however, still two obstacles hindering the expansion of tourism in our country. For one thing, the transportation system in many areas is not efficient enough to meet the ever-increasing needs. For another, our places of interest have yet to be better advertised. Information about them should be made available throughout the world to attract more and more tourists. Therefore, we still have a long way to go.

    As for me, with the development of our national economy, all these problems will certainly be solved step by step. A much better and brighter future awaits us.  (262words)
