The line graph illustrates the average CO2 emissions produced per capita in four countries; namely Britain, Portugal, Italy and Sweden between 1967 and 2007. Overall, the UK was the highest in terms of CO2 emissions, whilst Portugal was the lowest during the same period. According to the figures, United Kingdom and Sweden were the two nations with the most of the C02 production in 1967.However, in a 40-year (no need to write time) span, both have decreased alike. Concerning the former, Co2 emissions was slightly in decline till 1977 before a gradual decline till 2007. The latter observed a significant climb passing from around 8.5 tons to just over 10 in 1977. From this date, CO2 emissions have declined drastically till 2007 moving to less than 6 metric tons. On the other hand, pollution jumped in Italy and Portugal. A skyrocketing surge in CO2 emissions can be noticed from 1967 to 1977 for Italy before a gradual growth. The Portugal’s CO2 emissions moved upward abruptly till 1997 before a steady growth until 2007. To conclude, despite the awareness of environment issues, UK is still the most prominent(dominant) CO2 producer in 2007, amid the four-country analyzed. Portugal is still the less polluting state though.

In many countries, especially tourism-driven ones, there has been a long-lasting controversy over the matter of whether cultural traditions such as historical sites should be commercialized and used as tourist attractions. While I agree with the idea that to some extent, tourism exerts a negative influence on the culture of a country, I would argue that only through this business sector can such valuable assets be preserved for posperity.
On the one hand, opponents of cultural tourism claim that it would have destructive effects on the host country’s culture. Essentially, both tangible cultural traditions such as royal palaces and intangible ones like traditional music were established and uphold by a restricted group of indigenous people who show deep appreciation for their own assets. Conversely, exposuring such cultural items to the wider public inevitably means that they are more prone deviations and damages. For instance, craftmen, with a view to catering for tourists’ preferences, might create artifacts whose traits differ from the conventional products’. The pressing issues of vandalism and desecration of historic buildings commited by travellers is another example sufficing to illustrate this point.
On the other hand, those who support cultural-based tourism maintain that this is the only means with which the preservation of traditions could be achieved. Any cultural value would require the public’s recognition and physical upkeep in order to last. Through introducing foreign visitors to the tangible and intangible cultural values of the native, not only can those values be appreciated by a wider group of people, but they would also receive better maintenance thanks to the tax revenues generated from the tourism sector. Japan and South Korea are two high-profile examples of countries that have effectively values incorporated their traditional in tourism, attracting a large number of visitors from overseas by means of their culture, while widely promoting their traditional assets to foreigners.
To sum up, while tourist-generated degradation of traditional values is an unwanted consequence of culture-based tourism, this business plays a pivotal role in the preservation of such values.
