Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behaviour. Others disagree and think that host country should welcome culture difference. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Travelling and visiting multiple tourist destinations is a hobby for many individuals. While some believe that a host country should accept the cultural differences between the traveller and the residents ,
however
,I, agree with those that visitors should follow native tradition to become more aware of the culture
and ancient history of the nation
.
Firstly
, an ample of human beings don't feel comfortable in a certain environment and culture
. Their native food and clothing habits can be entirely different from the visiting nation
and the purpose of the travel
could be limited to enjoying the scenic beauty and landscape. Some people
argue that a nation
shouldn't force any individual to adapt their customs and acknowledge the differences as this
makes the travel
experience smooth and remarkable. To illustrate, many individuals who travel
to east Asian countries do not have eating habits to use chopsticks, In this
,case many shops around Asian countries provide the spoon,knife and fork. So people
visiting the nation
can feed themself without any hurdle to use chopsticks. Therefore
, it is essential for a hosting province to be comfortable with different culture
as this
improves the tourism and boost the economy.
On the other hand
, if a tourist follows the local customs and traditions, they are likely to become more aware of the ancient history and rituals followed by the generations in a country. Many places have custom clothing required for entry so people
can admire the inland culture
moreover
, an individual wearing the same clothes as residents can gel easily with citizens and gain more knowledge regarding the culture
. For example
, many temples in India have rules to only visit in traditional saree or dhoti attire, this
makes tourists understand the importance of clothing while entering the temple. In my opinion, people
travel
and stay for a very short period of time in different cultures, thus
they should experience and embrace it while they are still there.
To conclude, although
a host country should be welcoming towards the cultural difference as not everybody can be comfortable in a certain environment, the visitors should also
try to adhere to local customs as much as possible. Therefore
, on balance, I believe that travellers to other nations should participate in experiencing the native behaviour and follow accordingly
