Some people think that when a person travels into a different culture they
should adapt to the local practices and customs. To what extent do you agree?
In recent years, there has been a growing trend of travelling to foreign countries
around the world, thanks to globalization. Although many people argue that
tourists should not be required to conform to the local customs and traditions
when they make a journey aboard, plenty of evidence suggests that the opposite is
necessary.
There are a number of reasons why following the community/native culture is
beneficial to/ brings various benefits to themselves. First, people who visit
another nation would be more welcomed by inhabitants in the host country, if they
are willing to adapt to the local practices and conventions. As a result, foreigners
will make friends more easily and they will be received help from the residents,
which minimizes the difficulties of getting used to customs of other countries.
Second, the travelling experience that visitors will gain from being a participant
in the norms of social behavior is priceless in their life. Therefore, they can avoid
any issues especially getting into trouble with the police occurring from violating
the rules of destination countries. For example, my younger sister, a twelfth grades
student, once told me that she not only was fined 200 dollars during her holiday in
Singapore but also was arrested to the police station all day because she threw
away rubbish by accident in the street.
It should be acknowledged that the local people would have a variety of
advantages from tourists’ compliance with their culture. One of these
advantages/benefits is that the citizens do not have to adjust their way of life, so
they can preserve their cultural and historical monuments. It is an extremely
important issue to contribute to the enduring development of human societies, in
either economy or politics. In addition, by maintaining unique cultures and ancient
traditions, the government will be able to attract more and more holidaymakers to
visit the country, which brings advantages to not only those who run business in
tourist industry but also the society as a whole as there will be more employment
and money to encourage the progress of the region.
In conclusion, it is essential to obey the different culture when going to a foreign
one as this benefits not only the tourists themselves but also the local residents in
the host country.
