In my opinion, it's very important to create something special in your industry or in the image of your country. For example, my country has changed a lot, and we have a new strategy to attract more tourists than in the past. We are planning to have almost 100 million visitors by 2030. Saudi Arabia is a good example because we have changed many things. Now it's easier to get a visa, find places, and book hotels; the vibes are amazing. We have developed many things to allow you to come and enjoy the journey. If you come to Saudi Arabia, you must know the huge difference between the culture of the Middle East and other countries.

Task Response

The response does not directly address the potential drawbacks of promoting tourism in less-developed regions. Instead, it focuses on the positive aspects of tourism promotion and provides an example of Saudi Arabia's efforts to attract tourists. To improve, the response should directly address the question by discussing the negative impacts that tourism can have on less-developed regions.

Fluency & Coherence

The response is somewhat coherent, but it doesn't directly address the drawbacks of promoting tourism in less-developed regions. Instead, it focuses on the positive changes and tourism strategy in Saudi Arabia. The response could be improved by directly answering the question and providing specific examples related to the potential negative impacts of tourism in less-developed areas. There are some instances of repetition ('more in the past').

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but not particularly sophisticated. The speaker uses words like 'amazing,' 'vibes,' and 'journey,' which are appropriate but could be more precise. To improve, try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to the topic of tourism and its impacts. For example, instead of 'changed a lot of things,' you could say 'implemented significant reforms' or 'undertaken substantial development projects.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate, but there are some errors and awkward phrasing. For example, 'to be more having tourists' should be 'to attract more tourists.' Also, 'We planning to have' should be 'We are planning to have.' To improve, focus on using correct verb tenses and sentence structures. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and avoid unnecessary words.
