In recent years, "responsible tourist" have paid attention to preserving both culture and environment of the places they visit. However, some people say that it is impossible to be a “responsible tourist" To what extent do you agree or disagree?
At present，
visitors
should take responsibility for protecting the culture
and environment of the resort they travelled to, but this
suggestion is too impossible to keep.In my view，I strongly believe that it is possible to be a responsible tourist ，even though it is very difficult. I will prove my opinion by introducing the efforts that government
can make and illustrating the role that technology can play in informing the local culture
.
On the one hand, visitors
are more likely to be responsible visitors
as long as the local government
can actively launch policies on the environmental preservation aspect. For example
, the harsh stripe penalty in Singapore ensures a clean environment in the city, because no one dares to litter around casually. Another similar example can be found in China. Chinese government
releases a regulation about littering that anyone, including visitors
, who violates the rule may pay a 100 yuan fine. Thus
,this
government
policy forced visitors
to take the responsibility for environmental protection as they are travelling.
On the other hand
, how culture
is prevented depends on the visitors
’ awareness，because they might destroy the local culture
unconsciously if they do not have an access to local culture
. However
， nowadays，this
error is less common due to the development of technology. For , example，visitors
can search the local history and culture
on the internet before they travel to that place and watch a documentary about their destination. Therefore
，the technology provides a channel for visitors
to learn about the local culture
and it raises their awareness of culture
preservation.
In , conclusion，Because of the supervision from the local government
in tourism and the help that is
provided by technology，I believe it is possible to be a responsible tourist and they should pay attention to the conservation of the environment and culture
