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 commonly believed that there should be ‘tourist price ‘for international visitors in historical and touristic places. I partly agree with

this

statement and owing to many factors and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, there is a conception that the prices of cultural and historical attractions had better be more expensive for foreign

travelers

travellers

than inhabitants. The reason of ‘two-tier price’ is much higher disposable income of tourists than

-world local. As an example

,

Accept space

,

overseas visitors get used to travelling per year, whereas local people cannot afford to go abroad even once in their lives

.

Accept space

Moreover

, there are other arguments to differential pricing. Since residents are contributing to

upkeep

the upkeep

of their national heritage through taxes. Annually, part of the profit of the local population is used to repair of cultural buildings. Apart from that, the impact of mass tourism on historical places requires a lot of money to preserve and renovate them adequately.

For instance

, foreign visitor does not care about the cleanliness and beauty of place,

as a result

, it needs more effort and finance to keep them the same.

On the other hand

, no one likes to think they have paid more than someone else for the same thing. Foreigners are treated as a great source of money by some locals.

However

, the reason why tourists afford to travel is not that they are overburdened with money. To get

chance

a chance

the chance

to entertain and relax overseas once a year they have to save their wage. After being charged more make them consider that nation greedy and thoughtless which lead to a decline of their prestige among other countries. ‘As a consequence, the number of foreign visitors in that country is likely to reduce. In conclusion,

although

the two-tier payment structure is unfair for tourists, locals tend to sustain their tourism system and protect valuable resources with the help of ‘tourist price’.
