In recent years, tourists have paid attention to preserving both the culture and environment of the places they visit. However, some people think that it is impossible to be a responsible tourist. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is argued that there is no chance for tourists to take responsibility in protecting the environment and culture of

However

, I disagree with

this

view and believe that

this

is a worthy aim that can be achieved by various ways.

Firstly

, if everyone was equipped with the knowledge of cultural diversity and the vital importance of the environment, they would be more aware of their

For

, children should be educated to avoid throwing rubbish into surroundings or

historical objects in museums when they travel abroad.

Besides

that, western

holidaymakers

who flock to tourist destinations in Asian countries should wear suitable clothes because they are insensitive to local youngsters there.

This

could prevent children from copying negative attitudes

such

as rowdiness and outbound tourists may set a good

example

of good manners.

Secondly

, it is possible to promote cultural differences through both local and international media in order to reduce the risk of having

example

of

this

is that cow which is an edible animal in most countries is a sacred animal and is

in festivals in India. Without

knowledge, tourists may bring with

Finally

, local authorities could enact and enforce strict rules on protecting the environment and core traditional value, which could act as a deterrent. In Singapore,

for

example

, throwing away garbage, even a small thing like chewing gum could be fined severely and

this

rule is widely-known in many nations.

As a result

, every tourist coming to

this

country abides by rules and makes efforts to preserve historical sites as well as natural scenery. In conclusion, I would contend that sustainable tourism development could be achieved through education, media, and laws, and tourists could definitely become culpable for the environmental and cultural problems.
