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 sometimes argued that
tourists
from overseas should be charged more than local residents to visit important Use synonyms
sites
and monuments. I completely disagree with Use synonyms
this
idea. The argument in favour of higher prices for foreign Linking Words
tourists
would be that cultural or historical attractions often depend on state subsidies to keep them going, which means that the resident population already pays money to these Use synonyms
sites
through the tax system. Use synonyms
However
, I believe Linking Words
this
to be a very shortsighted view. Foreign Linking Words
tourists
contribute to the economy of the host Use synonyms
country
with the money they spend on a wide range of goods and services, including food, souvenirs, accommodation and travel. The governments and inhabitants of every Use synonyms
country
should be happy to subsidise important tourist Use synonyms
sites
and encourage people from the rest of the world to visit them. 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 Use synonyms
country
on holiday. To take the UK as an example, the tourism industry and many related jobs rely on visitors coming to the Use synonyms
country
to see places like Windsor Castle or Saint Paul’s Cathedral. These two Use synonyms
sites
charge the same price regardless of nationality, and Use synonyms
this
helps to promote the nation’s cultural heritage. If overseas Linking Words
tourists
stopped coming Use synonyms
due to
higher prices, there would be a risk of insufficient funding for the maintenance of these important buildings. In conclusion, I believe that every effort should be made to attract Linking Words
touristsfrom
overseas, and it would be counterproductive to make them pay more than local residents.Correct your spelling
