GRE Argument The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of Brindleburg to the city council Two years ago the town of Seaside Vista opened a new municipal golf course and resort hotel Since then the Seaside Vista Tourism Board has reported a 20 increa

The memo states that the golf course and resort hotel in Seaside Vista have benefited abundantly and even facilitated the prosperity of relative business, which means bank and tax revenue. The author argues that opening a similar golf course and resort hotel in Brindleburg could also gain copious interest. The view of the author might hold water. However, there are some issues render this view unconvincing.

First of all, the author mentions that running the golf course and resort hotel in Seaside Vista gain a large amount of profit, and so will the same thing happen in Brindleburg. Nevertheless, these are no information about the similarities and differences between Brindleburg and Seaside Vista. It is possible that Brindleburg has no spectacles and wonderful natural resource for visitors to take a break. In other words, there might be a wholly distinct situation in Brindleburg and then processing a new golf course and resort hotel might not receive ample visitors and profits.

Secondly, the memo contends that the bank as well as tax revenue are also increased with the aid of the golf course and the resort hotel. Nonetheless, the loan applications are received this year, but not the same as the years which beginning the golf course and resort hotel. Besides, the author does not cite which year that the tax revenue is high. Probably, there might be other projects promoted by the local government to bolster local tourism and then bring the profits to golf course, resort hotel, and other businesses. Therefore, it is hard to accurately judge that the golf course and resort hotel exactly provide profits to other local businesses.

Finally, the author points out that the tax income earned by Seaside Vista is going to apply on public infrastructures, like roads and bridges. Notwithstanding, Brindleburg might have higher tax income and more prosperous business development than Seaside Vista. Brindleburg might already have lavish tax revenue to revise and maintain their public infrastructure. Therefore, managing a new golf course and resort hotel might not offer a better profit than the amount that they have now. The economic condition has to be investigated thoroughly before starting a new business.

To sum up, the suggestion in the memo needs some information to reinforce its stance. Although the author offer several reasons, the proposal should not be accepted until the information: the similarities and differences between the two cities, the detail time about profits, and the economy survey of the both two cities have be substantiated.
