Band 6.5

Some people think that visitors to other countries should obey local customs and behaviours. While other people disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

In order to better understand the
people
 of other countries it is important that both
tourists
 and locals should
show
respect
 and tolerance for each other. It is very important that
tourists
respect
 local cultures as they are representatives of their nation, are guests and could face legal consequences if they breach local laws.
However
, it is
also
 important that locals are tolerant of
tourists
 in order to develop good relationships and because they support the local economy. In
this
 ,essay the importance of showing
respect
 for other
people
 and cultures will be discussed. When
tourists
 travel overseas they are freed from the normal restraints of home and may behave in a manner
that is
 offensive to locals.
Tourists
 are both representatives of their country and guests. Poor behaviour will often reflect poorly on both themselves as individuals and their nation as a whole. It is
also
 important that all
people
show
respect
 for others at all times. Failure to
show
 at least a minimum level of
respect
 to others can
also
 have legal consequences and result in heavy punishment. It is prudent to
show
 a higher level of care when travelling overseas as laws may be very different and
tourists
 may not understand the full implications of their actions. As far as possible, it is probably a good idea to stay within cultural norms when visiting other countries as doing so
also
 means showing a high level of
respect
 and is likely to lead to a positive experience for everyone.
However
, local citizens should
also
 remember they are hosts and should
show
 some tolerance towards a lack of cultural understanding and local knowledge.
Tourists
 support the local economy and assisting them and providing a friendly and respectful environment, including respecting their culture, is
also
 important in supporting the relationship between
people
as well as
 the tourist industry. In summary, showing
respect
 and tolerance towards all
people
 is the best way of maintaining a friendly and positive environment for all.
