part  of  culture.  Food,  festivals, 
costumes and other stimulating elements of a culture tire highlighted to 
entertain 
tourists, constituting 
an 
insult 
to  the  locals  and  causing  damage  to  the  unique  nature  of  a  culture.  Moreover,  cultural 
commercialisation has made the sacred elements of a culture 
commonplace 
and tourists are encouraged 
to attach little importance to a unique tradition, which cannot be found elsewhere.

these  facts,  one  can  conclude  that  tourism  is  neither  a  boon  nor  a  bane  to  cultural 
preservation. While its 
endeavour 
to protect an indigenous culture should be recognised, it has 
put 
the 
integrity 
of a culture 
at risk.

Topic 5: Some people argue that immigrants should adopt the local culture when immigrating to 
a new country. An alternative view is that they can adapt to a new environment by establishing a
