Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

#visitors #attractions
As tourism has become a flourished industry in the past few decades, there has been a debate over charging visitors from overseas more than the locals at historical sites. In my opinion, I completely disagree with
this
 point of view. On one hand, the argument in favour of charging foreign
tourists
 more might rise among the residents
due to
 the taxation, which means the national monuments depending on governments' subsidies for maintenance have already been paid for by them.
Moreover
, increasing
tourists
' pay could somehow prevent the conjunction of sites' surroundings, and improve their life quality.
Thus
, it is reasonable to divide tickets into different prices for equality.
However
, I consider it a shortsighted view.
On the other hand
, differentiating the cost between foreigners and locals might lead to a negative consequence.
Firstly
, travellers from abroad contribute to the economy of the host country in a wide range,

 financial growth.
Secondly
, there might be monetary spam from some unscrupulous people, which would lead to counterproductive effects

Therefore
, it is not necessary to emphasize implementing a higher price for them.
Instead
, the residents and authorities should be honoured to subsidize meaningful attractions in their nation and attract more
tourists
 to visit. In conclusion, it is a long-term vision when a country charges both travellers and inhabitants equally as the result in
overall
 national economic improvement excels the higher monetary requirement to foreign visitors. Afterwards,

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
