Nowadays, travel is becoming popular among people where they show an interest in exploring other countries' culture and attractive places. While some people claim that the foreigners should pay extra charges to see the historical and culture attractions, others argue they should treated in the same way of local people without an extra charge. I totally disagree with the extra payment that foreigners should pay due to multiple reasons
such
as equality.
This
essay will discuss the merits and provide a conclusion with my opinion.
To begin
with, there are multiple reasons why people believe that foreigners should not pay extra charges.
Firstly
,
tourism
is considered as a main source of income for the government in many countries.
Therefore
, they need to encourage people to visit their
country
, so they can utilize the profit to develop the
country
's infrastructure and enhance the economy.
For instance
, if the tourists lost their interest in visiting the
country
due to the extra charges, the
country
economic situation will be badly impacted.
Secondly
, each
country
is looking to spread their culture and heritage to the globe. To do
this
, they need to reduce the cost of the tourist locations, so visitors can afford to visit them and know more about the
country
's history.
Furthermore
, if the
country
increases the fees of the attractive location, visitors will feel that they are treated differently for the local people.
Accordingly
, they will not feel they are welcome or safe in the
country
, and
this
will have a direct impact to the
tourism
.
For example
, many tourists are cancelling their trips after discovering they have to pay extra charges and they are not equally treated as local citizens.
To sum up,
tourism
has many advantages for the
country
which help in developing it and provide a great source of income, either for the government or for the local people due to multiple jobs it creates.
However
, extra fees that the tourists should pay to visit the attractive locations will reduce the number of visitors, which impact the
country
and their citizens. I profoundly believe that the government should treat the foreigners in the same way local people are treated and do not expose extra charges to ensure they maintain a great income of the
tourism
and spread their heritage widely.
