Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe it is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss on both sides and give your opinion.

It is irrefutable that cultural
traditions
attract
tourists
from all over the world and develop local economy. Some individuals are of the opinion that these may be destroyed if they are modified to attract
tourists
. Others,
however
, hold the view that if we don’t use them for
tourism
, they will die. In the following paragraphs, I shall discuss both sides of the argument. We have to make these cultural
traditions
alluring for
tourists
because we need
tourists
.

for their livelihood. People in the food industry, hotel industry and transport industry depend on

On the other hand

are used as money-making attractions, they lose their original features. Sometimes it makes cultural
