Statement: Should luxury hotels be banned in India?

Arguments:

  1. Yes. They are places from where international criminals operate.
  2. No. Affluent foreign tourists will have no place to stay.
Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the luxury hotels are a mark of country's standard and a place for staying for the affluent foreign tourists. So, argument II holds. Argument I is not a strong reason because ban on hotels is not a way to do away with the activities of international criminals.

There are many places other than luxury hotels where tourists can stay. So, the right answer is 'd'.

No place to stay is wrong. As there can be many other options. They might be having any relative in India and what about those cities and places in India which is a tourist destination but doesnot have any luxury hotels? Because its not like whole of India have luxury hotels.

No place to stay? Making it weak.

@Lee, What of those tourists who are visiting for few days or 2 weeks at most? Buying a flat just for that is incredibly wasteful.

Are luxury hotels the only place where affluent tourists can stay?
Lee said:   1 decade ago
The correct answer is making the assumption that luxury hotels would be the only place affluent foreign tourists can stay. This information is missing, therefore it does not follow they will not have anywhere to stay. Clearly, if they were affluent they could buy there own flat and stay there.
