Some people think that foreign visitors should be charged more than locals during their visit to historical or cultural places, to what extent do you agree or disagree.

Tourism plays an imperative role when it comes to exchanging cultures with each other in today's world. It is believed by a few people that higher fees should be imposed by the government for foreigners

while

visiting some prominent places, whether historical or some other cultural tourist attractions.

Although

this

approach is advantageous from the

country

's perspective, it has some repercussions as well. In my opinion, the fee difference should be more considerable. The primary reason for charging more fees from overseas visitors is that the residents have already paid the taxes to their government which are being utilized for the maintenance of these monuments.

Additionally

, some extra services are

also

provided by the higher authorities to assist them.

For instance

, the entrance fee for the Taj Mahal is Rs.500 for those who acquire language translators or tourist guides.

This

not only makes it easier for them to comprehend the history and value of these attractions but

also

depicts the special arrangements set up by the state.

On the other hand

, it can enormously impact the economy of a certain

country

with decremental tourism as the tourists might not visit in the future or even give recommendations to others.

Therefore

, the

country

's reputation would be sabotaged.

Moreover

, it seems unfair because they have already contributed enough to the economy during their visit. At Philippine Airport,

for example

, 1500 pesos are collected as a travel tax from every person. To summarize, I would like to reiterate that

while

the money collected from tourism is for the betterment of a

country

, the government should be mindful when making the decision about the rate of entrance fees.
