Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs. Discuss both view and give your own opinion.

Every country has its own

traditions

and

customs

. People residing in these

countries

have been following these

traditions

for years which become a part of their value system. Visitors should follow and

respect

the

traditions

and

customs

of these

countries

.

For example

in Muslim

Countries

, visitors must follow the rules and regulations which are mandatory to be followed during the holy month of Ramadan. As a visitor, we must

respect

the local

traditions

and make sure that we do not offend the sentiments of the locals residing in these

countries

. By respecting the local

customs

we not only

respect

but

also

gives us an opportunity to learn and take part in their local festivals. In my opinion, United Arab Emirates is a country which has people of different nationalities and cultures. Everyone respects the

culture

of other

countries

and participates in their local festivals. Everyone lives in harmony and enjoys the

culture

of other nations. Dubai welcomes millions of tourists from across the globe every year and most of the tourists visiting Dubai follow the local

traditions

and

respect

their

culture

. By showing

respect

for the local

culture

, visitors not only make their country proud but

also

become a part of the tolerant society. If we do not show

respect

to the local beliefs and

customs

we not only hurt the sentiments of the locals but

also

fail as good human beings.
