Topic:
Some people think tourists should follow the behavior and customs of the local people, to what extent do you agree?
Essay:
In present day society, tourism has become an integrated part of the contemporary lifestyle. But at the same time, controversy has arisen about whether or not tourists should follow the behavior and customs of the local people. As a person who travelled a lot both domestically and internationally, I partially agree with them, with certain doubts.
A certain degree of tourists’ conformity to the local customs and behavior is necessary. For one thing, this helps tourists to avoid many inconveniences and conflicts during their trips. For example, Chinese tourists would avoid the embarrassment of irritating their servers if they are well-informed about and follow the custom of tipping in an American restaurant. Likewise, Western travelers may avoid behaviors which could upset the local residents in Thailand, such as tapping children’s head. For another, efforts to adopt the local customs and behavior enable foreign tourists to better understand and appreciate the local cultural heritage such as rituals, folklore and handicrafts.
However, a total conformity may carry potential drawbacks. Firstly, it is obvious that cultural difference between tourists and local inhabitants should be preserved to some extent. Tourism is a symbol of human desire for variety and for exploration, which enables them to get firsthand multi-sensory experience with an exotic culture differing from their own. Secondly, in many cases, it is impractical for tourists to adopt local customs and behavior. For instance, people visiting northern Canada may find it extremely difficult to follow the local Inuit’s habit of eating raw seal flesh.
In conclusion, I am convinced that it is only a matter of degree whether or not local customs should be followed by visitors. It’s for the travelers themselves to decide to what extent according to the scenario.
