The
tourism
industry has a huge impact on the
country
's economy. Developing countries initiate many events to boost
tourism
for their respective nations. It is widely held belief that visitors should respect the customs and traditions of the local people, whereas, there is a strong counter argument amongst a large section of people.
However
, in
this
essay we will discuss both sides of the coin in the light of several factors before any conclusion can be drawn.
Firstly
, it is the duty of every individual or tourist to maintain discipline and follow rules and regulations of the host
country
. One should understand that we are representing our nation in the world
so it is our moral duty to show a good and clean side of our nation.
Also
, tourist destinations are famous for their historical buildings or some attractions and if we spoil the environment of that place, it will lose its identity.
For example
,
last
day I read an article in the Times Of India, regarding Leh and Ladakh and its polluting environment because of the rapid increase in
tourism
in
last
10 years. One should respect the destinations for its beauty and amazing history and try to spend as much time as possible interacting with locals.
Secondly
, making friends with different cultural backgrounds will help you boost your confidence and
this
will bring unity among different sections of people.
The
third
point worth mentioning is that
this
is the best way to help rural areas to develop.
is the only way to grow their backward mentality. It is important to introduce them with urban life so that they can motivate their children for good education and bright future. When people from other
such
places, it is their duty to interact with them and teach them something new and latest.
This
will help in the development of the nation as a whole.On the other side, if local cultures and ethics are not respected, tourists may not get a warm welcome from the locals.
On the contrary
, there is a certain group of people who vehemently believe that the host
country
should be more welcoming towards people from different cultures. People travel from one place to another to enjoy traditional foods and to experience life of people from different regional backgrounds. It would be difficult to follow
host Suggestion
the host country, culture
the host country culture
country
culture and customs at
first
because in some cases, they may be incompatible to their own morals and ethics. So, locals should be welcoming for different cultures as
this
will increase employment opportunities in that area.
Also
,
will come forward to develop most demanding tourist places as it will boost the
country
's economy as a whole.
For example
, Thailand
tourism
has increased many folds in
last
two years and main contributors are countries like India, because they feel safe and welcoming by the locals.
To sum up, I am of the opinion that it is important to accept people whole heartedly from different backgrounds.There is huge competition among countries in the
tourism
industry and not welcoming different cultures will throw anyone out of the race. Youngsters should join hands to introduce their local culture to the tourists by initiating talks and helping them in exploring and enjoying.
