Today, there is a growing trend of visiting different places in different countries. It is a highly debated issue whether
tourists

should do and behave as the
people
Use synonyms
of the
host
Use synonyms
country
Use synonyms
or should the
host
Use synonyms
country
Use synonyms
accept
visitors
Use synonyms
as they are. I shall discuss both views in
this
Linking Words
essay. I personally side with the latter view. There are many reasons why some
people
Use synonyms
say that
visitors
Use synonyms
should adopt the
host
Use synonyms
countries'
customs
Use synonyms
.
Firstly

of misunderstanding and embarrassment. For e.g. in the UK it is offensive to ask about pay to anyone, which is common in India.
Secondly
Linking Words
, a nation's
customs
Use synonyms
and
traditions
Use synonyms
are fascinating and offer a deep insight into that
country

. So, if
tourists

copy the

of

Finally

,
visitors
Use synonyms
establish a rapport with local
people
Use synonyms
because
people

feel respected when their
customs

are understood and imitated.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, those who say that the
host
Use synonyms
country
Use synonyms
should embrace
visitors
Use synonyms
as they are, give their reasons as follows.
To begin

with, no
country
Use synonyms
should cling to its own
customs
Use synonyms
and
traditions
Use synonyms
and accept the new
customs
Use synonyms
and
traditions
Use synonyms
brought by
visitors
Use synonyms
.
Secondly
Linking Words
, there should be no binding on the
visitors
Use synonyms
to adopt the
customs
Use synonyms
and
traditions
Use synonyms
of the hosts.
For example
Linking Words
, if the
visitors
Use synonyms
are pure vegetarians, they should not be forced to eat non-vegetarian food just because the
host

's
people

eat that. I feel that someone a visitor to another
country
Use synonyms
should respect the
customs
Use synonyms
of that
country
Use synonyms
but should not be obliged to copy them. Respecting those
customs
Use synonyms
is necessary because a visitor is like a guest in someone else's home. The
host
Use synonyms
country
Use synonyms
should accept the

without going anywhere and without spending a single penny. Summing up, mutual understanding between both the visitor and the

is necessary to maintain harmony. So, the
host
Use synonyms
country
Use synonyms
should accept
tourists
Use synonyms
as they are, and
visitors

should respect the

of the

without having to imitate them.
