Some people say cultural traditions are destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others say this is the only way to save such traditions. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some argue that changing cultural

traditions

to attract tourists will destroy their original value, while others believe

this

tendency is vital to save those

traditions

from extinction. I will discuss both notions and explain why I agree with the latter. On the one hand, it is understandable why many are against the adjustment of cultural

traditions

. It is because those

traditions

can be modified and modernised to be more approachable and entertaining to tourists.

For example

, people may still play traditional musical instruments in regional areas, but the songs are performed in a more modernised and energetic way to attract the young generation.

Therefore

, local individuals can gain profit to overcome the lack of funding from the authorities to cover their living fees.

In addition

, traditional clothes and accessories may assimilate into modern ones to be more fashionable and trendy, eventually leading to the loss of uniqueness.

However

, I deem that

this

trend is essential to save cultural

traditions

in many places. Some of those

traditions

belong to the minority group, and as these group populations get smaller as time passes by, it could lead to the loss of the whole cultural heritage

for instance

. To save those

traditions

, governments should enforce policies so individuals from different backgrounds can learn and use them as a tool for tourist attractions. Their main purpose can be for personal gain, but at the same time, they preserve these cultural values in society. If no actions are taken, and the

next

young generation does not inherit these

traditions

, fewer people will know and appreciate them, and those unique cultural

traditions

will vanish. In conclusion, with the aforementioned, I believe that adjusting cultural

traditions

for tourist attractions is crucial to protect the endangered ones from extinction.

Hence

,

this

tendency should be continually encouraged worldwide.
