Some people think that cultural traditions will be destroyed when they are used to make money from tourists. Others believe that this is the only way for some places to survive in today's world. Discuss both sides and give you opinion.
In modern society, there is a growing number of people travelling all around the world. Some people may have claimed that cultural
traditions
can be affected by only focusing on tourists' preferences. This
is true; however
, I also
understand that some countries
can maintain their country finances by tourism
.
Firstly
, some cities are extremely geared to attracting foreign tourists to make money. This
is because foreign travellers are likely to experience various exotic things, showing them stimulated travel programs
that might be able to harm cultural traditions
. For example
, in Korea, we have programs
that experience wearing HanBok which is Korean traditional clothes. What I am concerned about is that since those clothes are reformed to attract foreigners, I think travellers might be able to misunderstand our traditions
. Therefore
, I believe that if we concentrate too much on profits, we will be able to lose our cultural identity.
On the other hand
, tourism
is imperative for some countries
which is the main profit for them. The tourism
industry has made lucrative finances for some countries
, and it seems effective at improving national economies. For instance
, Boracay is one of the cities that has been maintained by excursion programs
. People living in Boracay only work as tour guides because this
is the only way to earn money for them. In this
case, I think tourism
allows cities to improve employment and economic revitalisation. Moreover
, if countries
don't develop the industry of tourism
, they might be able to miss the national trade and lose opportunities to inform traditional cultures. I believe this
will contribute to adverse effects on society in the long run.
To sum up
, as compared above, tourists can affect not only cultural traditions
but also
countries
' economies. However
, as a person who puts more value on protecting precious traditions
, I believe remaining original traditions
is more imperative than attractive tour programs
. I think we should develop our traditional sites so as not to be destroyed.Submitted by kchengii on
