Some people say cultural traditions are destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others say this is the only way to save such traditions. Discuss both views and give your opinion

Some people believe that cultural

traditions

will disappear if they are used for money-making purposes,

while

others believe

this

is the only

way

to preserve

such

traditions

. Personally, I agree that charging for cultural

traditions

is an effective

way

to maintain the cultural heritage but it is not the only solution. On the one hand, there is a reason why charging for

traditions

and cultural heritage can lead to the loss of local

traditions

and customs. Cultural

traditions

are priceless and turning these

traditions

into tourism purposes seems to reduce the preciousness of local

traditions

.

For example

, there are some temples that are supposed to be sacred places because they connect the gods and ordinary people are turning to famous tourist attractions and visitors have to pay entrance ticket fees to get into them.

This

inevitably makes the religious and sacred destinations mundane places like any other tourist destination,

thus

visitors do not comprehensively understand the meaning and importance of

such

traditions

.

As a result

, these religious

traditions

will soon be eliminated.

On the other hand

, I believe charging for cultural

traditions

can be an effective

way

to maintain

such

traditions

.

This

is because there are some

traditions

that require a huge amount of money to maintain.

For instance

, jugglery is a Vietnamese cultural heritage that requires the frequent replacement of equipment, and

therefore

once jugglery does not receive financial resources, it can disappear.

However

, I believe there are numerous ways out there to maintain cultural

traditions

, one of which is financial assistance from the government. If governments allocate part of the state budget to provide equipment and upgrade traditional facilities, not only are culture and

traditions

preserved but

also

a huge influx of tourists are attracted to the country,

therefore

boosting the country’s economy. In conclusion,

while

traditions

can be destroyed if they are used for money-making purposes, I believe it can be a great

way

to preserve cultural

traditions

because some

traditions

need financial resources to maintain.

However

,

this

is not the only

way

to maintain traditional values as the government can

also

take responsibility by providing financial assistance.
