Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour. Other disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Now a day, people of all ages, enjoy travelling to other countries to explore different cultures and lifestyles.
Such
excursions definitely boosts one's knowledge, but a lot of care needs to be taken while interacting with people of unlike background. Linking Words
Hence
, I strongly feel that visitors to other countries should acquaint themselves with local customs and behaviour.

First
and foremost, the travellers must gather adequate information about the preferences of native people related to food, attire and language. The accumulation of Linking Words
such
data is beneficial in cases where families, including juveniles are visiting to an entirely new place. Linking Words
For instance
, Mr. Smith, a famous blogger, shared his experience of visiting a Temple in South India with his wife and two children. They were not allowed to enter the temple due to their inappropriate attire. Linking Words
In addition
to Linking Words
this
, several countries follow strict rules to be followed while being in the queue, using a zebra crossing and various other etiquettes that are to be followed by each and every individual present in that particular country. Whereas, disobeying may lead to hefty charges. Linking Words
For instance
, there was a news published in Times Now Linking Words
last
week about a combat between two groups of people from different countries. Linking Words
This
was a minor issue as the native people resisted foreigners from sitting on the floor of the metro.

On the contrary
, there are some people of the view that host country should welcome cultural differences. Linking Words
In other words
, local citizens must put forth a helping hand towards the travellers and guide them for a safe and memorable visit to their Homeland. Linking Words
Also
, foreigners must be set free to roam and visit places according to their comfort zone. Whereas, I believe that one must keep in mind the traditions and beliefs before stepping into auspicious places. Linking Words
For example
, in Arab countries, females, whether local or visitor, are expected to cover themselves from head to toe especially in Mosques.
In a nutshell, it is our sincere responsibility to respect each other's cultural backgrounds and traditions while travelling to another country.Linking Words
