Tourist income is one of the most important yields of local government. Government has put forward many ways to attract more tourists to increase revenue. Some people claim that safety plays a chief role when people choosing a place to visit. However, as far as I am concerned, improving appearance by repairing old buildings and streets is a better choice.

To begin with, good facilities will provide tourists with better experiences. People who live in modern cities have got used to convenient facilities. They will be very satisfied if they could get access to the Internet anywhere, charge mobile phones when eating, take a taxi anywhere. That is to say, well-improved facilities are the guarantee of fulfilling these requirements. Complaints will be made if tourists feel inconvenient and they may persuade their friends not to visit this place.

In addition, old buildings and streets represent historic cultures of a city. People who plan to go travel are more willing to visit places where have old buildings. They have already become accustomed to, even tired of mansions. Places which have historic buildings will be the first choice for people. Take myself as an example, when planning to travel last vacation, I chose the Forbidden City without hesitation. This place has intact historic architectures so that I could feel and know the history of ancient Beijing from these old buildings.

Admittedly, hiring police to improve safety is a tempting way to attract tourists. It will leave the city with the reputation of good social security. Nevertheless, the benefits of maintaining old buildings and streets outweigh that of improving safety by hiring police. It is utter nonsense to merely hire more police without any valuable old buildings.

To sum up, in order to attract more tourists, governments should improve appearance by repairing old buildings and streets since it will give tourists more pleasant experiences.
