Organized tours to remote communities and other countries are increasingly popular. Is it a positive or negative development for local people and the local environment?
Visitors love to visit rarely known places and are enthusiastic about knowing the culture of distinct tribes and
countries
. I believe this
is a positive development.
First
and foremost, tourists will encourage local people to preserve their culture. In other words
, it is inevitable that cultures
and old customs
are fading away and foreigners' visits may work as a motivation for locals to hold their customs
tightly. Secondly
, natives may be proud of the customs
, which previously were a source of embarrassment, because when visitors show excitement about that country's culture, natives may start to follow their cultures
again, which once diminishes in the name of modern living. For example
, several communities have special dresses, which are becoming a thing of the past, but tourists might keep them alive. Therefore
tours to remote communities will do good but harm.
When people from different countries
travel through various countries
, they will spread rare and beautiful anecdotes and cultures
around the world. Furthermore
, tourism also
provides financial aid and creates employment. For instance
, many poor countries
that do not have many resources but beautiful places and rich cultures
, depend on tourism economically. Meanwhile, this
is indirectly beneficial for the environment also
. As in order to preserve mesmerizing natural sites, governments try to minimise carbon footprint. Take Bhutan, for instance
, which has a law that 60% of land
will be allocated for the forest,which makes Add an article

country carbon negative.
To conclude, I think trips to remote culturally rich areas bring several benefits and create an ambience of respecting each other's customs
and rituals.Submitted by Oliver on
