Some people think visitors to other countries should imitate local customs and behaviours. Some people disagree; they think the host country should welcome cultural differences. Discuss the two views and give your opinion.

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

of the

host

country

or should the

host

country

accept

visitors

as they are. I shall discuss both views in

this

essay. I personally side with the latter view. There are many reasons why some

people

say that

visitors

should adopt the

host

countries'

customs

.

Firstly

Secondly

, a nation's

and

are fascinating and offer a deep insight into that

. So, if

Finally

feel respected when their

are understood and imitated.

On the other hand

, those who say that the

host

country

should embrace

visitors

as they are, give their reasons as follows.

To begin

with, no

country

should cling to its own

customs

and

traditions

and accept the new

customs

and

traditions

brought by

visitors

.

Secondly

, there should be no binding on the

visitors

to adopt the

customs

and

traditions

of the hosts.

For example

, if the

visitors

are pure vegetarians, they should not be forced to eat non-vegetarian food just because the

host

country

's

people

eat that. I feel that someone a visitor to another

country

should respect the

customs

of that

country

but should not be obliged to copy them. Respecting those

customs

is necessary because a visitor is like a guest in someone else's home. The

host

country

should accept the

tourists

as they are

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

host

is necessary to maintain harmony. So, the

host

country

should accept

tourists

as they are, and

visitors

should respect the

customs

of the

host

country

without having to imitate them.
