Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, it creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Over the years,

tourism

has grown into a huge industry. Actually, it is the backbone of many economies.

For example

tourism

is the main source of revenue for countries like Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Maldives. Some people,

opinion, this

is not a problem that cannot be resolved. Lack of understanding of cultures and traditions often leads to

For example

problems often arise. Locals expect the foreign visitors to follow their customs and traditions. Often times, the visitors simply do not care. There have even been many cases where the locals attacked tourists for disrespecting their

. In the end,

such

Hence

, the argument that

tourism

also

fosters understanding. Actually,

this

tension

can be diffused by simply promoting a

culture

of understanding. Countries that receive a lot of international tourists should take the moral responsibility to teach their citizens about cultural differences. Locals should be taught that they cannot expect a foreigner to behave like them or to respect their customs as they do. At the same time, countries that send a lot of tourists to other countries should

sensitize their people about the importance of respecting the

and traditions of the country they visit. These simple measures will solve most of the problems associated with

. To conclude,

However

, nations can combat
