The dramatic increase in transnational travel in recent years has sparked controversy over the potential impacts of this trend on individual countriesf especially those new member states of globalization. Some people are concerned that the upsurge in new arrivals will prompt local hostility against visitors instead of promoting their understanding on mutual cultural background. This notion should be rejected as one can see many facts in favor of this development between countries.The first reason why international travels would never bring conflict is rooted in the fact that both visitors and locals are economically motivated. International travel opens up opportunities for business development throughout the world. Entrepreneurs are interested not only in the domestic market but also in the oversea market. Foreigners should learn the culture of a country before winning over the local people. In turn, locals should show their hospitality to visitors in exchange for their trust. They share a view that acceptance of each other's cultural background is a necessary condition for cooperation.Understanding a culture has other implications. Differences in social background, cultural values and religious belief might make the discrepancy of foreigners and local inhabitants on some issues indelible; however, the higher interaction, the higher level of communication and understanding. Arabians, for example, used to consider westerners as their foes. Now they have concrete relations with their western allies in many fields. In the initial stage, their divergence seemed inherent but over time, with better mutual understanding, they take the same position on many issues.Undeniably, it is likely that in some resorts, foreign visitors repel the local community with their scant regard for the local environment and conventions when they first arrive. However, it should be noted that most offense is accidental, rather than intentional. Instead, visitors disobey rules and conventions simply because they have no knowledge of them. This situation is expected to be improved with the passing of time when visitors from different countries increase their knowledge of a local culture.According to the above analysis, we can observe that the increase in the international travel should not be taken as the cause of any conflict that arises between two countries. Alternatively, one should recognize its role in improving mutual understanding between two countries.近義詞表1. catch-all = all-embracing:包羅甚廣的 ;包括一切的2. hostility=enmity=resentment:敵意,怨'恨,憤恨3. rooted in=derived from=based on:基于4. entrepreneur=tycoon=mogul=industrialist:企業(yè)家，實業(yè)家5. discrepancy=disagreement=difference=divergence:分歧，矛盾6. foe=enemy=rival:敵人，竟爭對手7. concrete=tangible=solid:具體的，實際的8. overtime=in due course=sooner or later:最終，早9. resort:勝地;tourist resort:旅游勝地;holiday resort：度假勝地;beach resort:海邊度假勝地; scenic spot:景觀;place of interest: 旅游景點10. repel=revolt=repulse:使厭惡，憎惡11. scant=limited=scarce:缺乏的，不足的
