Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customes and behaviour. Others think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. Duscuss both views and give your opinion.

It is true that every country has its own
culture
, and there has been a debate on whether visitors should follow the local
culture
or the cultural differences should be accepted.
This
essay will examine both opinions and show my own perspective, which is the local
culture
has to be prioritized. The main reason that some people say outsiders should follow cultural rules is that it is the best way to avoid any unpredictable conflict. To illustrate, in my country, Japan, everyone needs to take off their shoes inside. If foreigners did not do so, Japanese people will get angry and be
demotivate
to welcome them.
However
,
this
is not an inevitable trouble if they learn about the
culture
.
Therefore
, understanding and following the local
culture
is crucial to avoid any trouble.
On the other hand
, others claim that cultural differences should be embraced. The major reason for
this
is that more tourists can be expected if they allow them more freedom.
For example
, it is religiously not allowed to drink
alchol
a liquor or brew containing alcohol as the active agent
alcohol
in Muslim countries, and
this
can be a
reaon
a rational motive for a belief or action
reason
that prevents potential
travelers
a person who changes location
travellers
from visiting there.
However
, it is important to raise tourists' satisfaction in order to promote tourism.
This
is why some people say that countries whose rules are too strict to visitors should allow them to behave freely. In conclusion, considering both views, I tend to believe that visitors should respect and follow the local
culture
.
Although
I admit that cultural diversity should not be ignored, following the local
culture
is beneficial and safe for both visitors and locals.
