In recent years, tens of millions of tourists from other countries have visited China's many heritage sites and museums.

However

in contrast

, the numbers of residents visiting these same sites have dropped.

This

Linking Words

essay sets out to ask why

this

has happened and offer solutions. There are two reasons why so many foreign tourists visit these destinations. Chiefly and without question, the main reason, is the decreasing cost of international airfares and flying long-distances is now within easy reach of those on moderate incomes.

Secondly

Linking Words

, because of well-produced advertising by airlines and tour companies and its distribution through various mediums, especially, as a prime example, the internet and social media that have made countries

such

as China appealing. As to local Chinese populations, for the same reasons and by nearly the same measure, they too are opting for foreign trips and holidays to destinations around the world, again by the appeal of being able to travel to places that not so many years they could never have visited. So, my proposal for increasing the numbers of natives are not presently visiting their local landmarks and places of historical importance is to increase the awareness and heighten the important history and ancient culture of China. As to how

this

can be achieved, I suggest the following ideas.

First

Linking Words

, use the example set by the global leisure industry: better advertising.

Second

Linking Words

, improved infrastructure.

Third

Linking Words

, ensure costs, whether for transport or entrance to some special sites are available to all no matter their income. In summary, as technology has advanced and with cheaper fares, global travel is now a major leisure activity. Ensuring that local people

also

appreciate their own country, and its heritage, the natural beauty spots and historic buildings,

then

through use positive media get locals to visit these places more.

Public libraries will soon no longer be housed in building as all facilites and books are available for all to access. What are the advantages and disadvantages of public libraries existing online?
It is generally accepted that physical libraries will be replaced by online substitutes. Although there are plenty of potential benefits regarding online libraries, I believe that the drawbacks of online reading sources like physical and social handicaps overshadow the pros.

Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of festivals, and that most of us treat them as opportunities to have fun. While I agree that enjoyment seems to be the priority during festival times, I do not agree that people have forgotten what these festivals mean.

In recent years, ''responsible tourists'' have paid attention to preserving both culture and environment of the places they visit. However, some people say that it is impossible to be a ''responsible tourist''. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
I believe that most locals generally love sharing about their history and culture to other people, they would be open to anyone who are eager to learn about their backgrounds. However, some tourists may be a nuisance to other by having an ignorant and carefree behavior. Understandably, this may cause negative stigma to tourists in general. While, in my opinion, any decent person can be a "responsible tourist".

Nowadays, many people from teens, adult and even seniors google their symptoms, medical advices and check ups on the internet rather than meeting the docters. Why is this? It's easy and its also very cheap (or no cost at all). However, this can cause many problems and concerns to the patient.
