Nowadays people believe that
tourism
sector growing day by day, which in turn boost the
country
's wealth.
However
, some people arguing that
this
can destroy the local traditions, but nobody cared about it. I completely agree with that
this
can cause harm to local cultures.
This
essay will explain how
tourism
will boost the
country
's economy and how will it destroy the traditions of the
country
.
Firstly
, it is likely most of the people believe that the
tourism
will play vital role in the nation's economic growth. The tourist will spend lots of money on visiting historical places. Which indirectly help other dependent sectors like restaurants, lodges, taxi drivers, shopkeepers etc.
For example
, if the person comes from US to visit the Taj Mahal in India, many sectors will benefit. Which indirectly boosts the
country
's economy.
On the other hand
, the most of the people feel that we are ignoring the damage to our culture caused by
tourism
.
Although
, the people from different countries visit our state will influence our traditions.
For example
, the fashion of wearing dresses changed and younger generation learning bad habits by seeing the tourists.
In addition
, they are addicted to drugs and crossing their limits, which is fearing factor.
Moreover
, they are forgetting our culture by following the western behaviour. So
that is
the reason, individuals complaining that we are often ignoring the harm to our tradition. In conclusion, most of the people believe that
tourism
will increase the state's economic growth.
However
, it will destroy our traditions. In my opinion, I completely agree that we are ignoring the side effects of
tourism
on our local habits and traditions.
