Some people think that foreign visitors should be charged more than locals when they visit cultural and tourist attractions in a country. To what extent do you agree with this view?

It is thought by some people that tourists must pay more than local residents when visiting historical and cultural sites in the

country

.

Although

this

may seem to boost the

country

's economy, I believe that locals and foreign travellers must pay the same amount of money. Charging a tourist more than a local for entering a historically important site would seem beneficial and lucrative for the host

country

. The residents of that

fee, but

it will prove to be disadvantageous as it will not attract too many tourists in the long run. Tourists being charged a much higher entrance fee for attractions around the

country

would make them feel discriminated.

Moreover

and on souvenirs. They are

charged travel tax.

Therefore

, charging them a high price for entry tickets would be unfair. When tourists are treated equally in terms of payment

such

as of the locals, they would promote more tourism by spreading good reviews of the

their friends and family.

This

would make that

more welcoming for future tourists. In conclusion, the host

country

would gain more benefit by keeping the prices for entry into historical and cultural sites equal amongst foreigners and locals rather than increasing it.
