ew side effects.

To begin

with, few people deem that when travellers visit they do not follow the customs and traditions of the host country.

For example

, in India,there is a tradition of bowing down in front of idols in temples and

not to avoid wearing footwear in any religious place. But, when a person from England pays a visit, they tend to ignore

norms, which is disrespectful for the local community.

Moreover

, it is said that foreigners are more responsible for littering public places.

Hence

, according to some the rise in the tourism industry has led to many un-recognised disadvantages.

Nevertheless

, in my opinion, travellers mostly travel to explore new places and there is no hidden intension to harm the local community. They just wander and try to know things about the other nation and generally

they are not aware of the local customs. While I concede that, before visiting any nation, they must try to understand the basic norms and must respect those.

Furthermore

, I feel the citizens are more responsible for loitering public attractions. To illustrate, the Taj Mahal, which is mostly toured by the residents of India and are totally responsible for the damage. In conclusion,

although

tourists should get insights into the rules and regulations of the destination, I strongly believe that they do not harm purposely any custom or location of a nation.
