Dear ....................................,
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.

The pie charts compare the proportion of water consumption for industry,
agriculture, and domestic purpose in six separate regions of the world.
Overall, it is clear that water used for agriculture accounts for the largest
proportion, except for North America and Europe, mainly providing for
industrial use.
With regard to agricultural use, Central Asia is the area that uses the greatest
level of water, at exactly 88%, followed by the figure for Africa and South
East Asia, at 84% and 81% respectively. South America needs a smaller rate,
with 71%, compared to one-third of the total consumption in Europe.
In contrast, Europe area primarily uses water for industry, making up the
highest percentage among the remaining regions, over a half of the total.
Likewise, 48% of water is prioritized this purpose in North America,
contrasting to 10% of that in South America. A noticeable pattern is that all
six areas use an inconsiderable percentage of water for domestic purpose,
apart from South America, with 19%, being the most significant consumption
level.
