Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is often argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more than local residents to visit important sites and monuments. While

this

practice might benefit the domestic economy in the short run, I believe an increase in fees for international travellers can do more harm than good in the long run. On the one hand, a number of reasons may justify the fact that an increase in fee is necessary.

Firstly

, charging extra

international residents can benefit the

's economy.

This

is because more money is going to the

country

's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a rise in GDP is considered beneficial for the economy.

Secondly

, the idea of increasing the costs of visiting local attractions may please local people. It is of general consensus that since local people pay tax to the government every year, the fee should be lower for them.

However

, a number of disadvantages may occur by adopting

this

policy. If travellers realised that they would have to pay more to visit historical and cultural attractions in a particular nation, they would perhaps decide not to go to that

country

on holiday.

As a result

,

can affect not only the income that comes directly from the

Moreover

, a drop in the number of tourists

means that there will be a lack of sufficient funding for the maintenance of the local sites and attractions. Should that happen, there will even be fewer reasons for international visitors to want to visit the

. In conclusion,

although

raising the prices of visiting local attractions and monuments may have short-term benefits, in the long run it can turn out to be counterproductive.
