The following excerpt comes from test 3 in Cambridge IELTS book 10.
The travel industry includes: hotels, motels and other types of accommodation; restaurants and other food services; transportation services and facilities; amusements, attractions and other leisure facilities; gift shops and a large number of other enterprises. Since many of these businesses also serve local residents, the impact of spending by visitors can easily be overlooked or underestimated. In addition, Meis (1992) points out that the tourism industry involves concepts that have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision makers. Moreover, in all nations this problem has made it difficult for the industry to develop any type of reliable or credible tourism information base in order to estimate the contribution it makes to regional, national and global economies.
Are the two statements below true, false, or not given?
- Visitor spending is always greater than the spending of residents in tourist areas.
- It is easy to show statistically how tourism affects individual economies.
Extra task:
Can you explain the meaning of the phrase "the tourism industry involves concepts that have remained amorphous to both analysts and decision makers"?

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:
1. Not given
The key word that is missing from the passage is "greater". There is no comparison between the spending by residents and visitors, so we have to answer "not given".
2. False
It is NOT easy to show the effect of tourism statistically, because the passage says "difficult for the industry to develop any type of reliable or credible tourism information base".
