This

essay will explain
both

views in detail and provide the reasons why I think that a mix of
both

is fundamental.
Firstly
Linking Words
, those who prioritise
customs
Use synonyms
believe that
this
Linking Words
is a way for outsiders to show respect to the visiting country.
For example
Linking Words
, everyone in Saudi Arabia dresses modestly, especially inside a mosque which is holy for Muslims.
As a result
Linking Words
, if
tourists
Use synonyms
also
Linking Words
wish to visit a mosque
then
Linking Words
they should follow the instructions practised for decades out of respect for the Saudi community.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, those who claim that local
customs

should not be bound on visitors; rather states should appreciate cultural differences and have a valid perspective.
That is
Linking Words

also

educate about their culture too.
For instance

Hence

To conclude

,
although

there are numerous reasons why

, I think there should be a middle ground.
In other words

,
both

parties should respect the practices of each other and not restrict it to only one side.
