Topic :-

Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behavior. Others disagree and think that the host country should welcome cultural differences.

**************************

Nowadays, People hops through various places across the globe to spend their leisure time. It not only helps them in discovering a new place but also experience of a new culture. However, it’s good to understand the culture difference upfront before visiting a new place.

One of important thing a visitor has to keep in mind is to follow the local customs and behavior. As the saying goes by “when you are in Rome, do what Romans do “. It helps them in understanding the place better but also gives them a holistic view about the local tradition which can enhance their knowledge. For instance, if someone is visiting a sacred place in India like temple then a foreign tourist should ensure that they don’t wear provoking clothes and shouldn’t wear sleepers inside the premises.

On the other side, it is better that host country should welcome the tourist irrespective of cross-cultural differences. Imposing the rules may reduce the inflow of the visitors. Instead, host country should make them more comfortable during travel by creating the awareness about the dos and don’ts. This will ensure that the local sentiments are not being disturbed. For e.g. a tourist visiting a spot where photography is being prohibited then it should be clearly communicated in the entrance.

To conclude this, it’s always good to blend with the local customs and respect the other culture. Moreover, as a tourist you would not be staying in a place for a long so there won’t be any harm to do that.

Hello!

A very good essay. Minor grammatical errors do not interfere with meaning. Good vocabulary and tone. Clear organisation and ideas. I particularly like the way you have focused on tourists in the conclusion - as the question requires. Many candidates fail to do this and write about people living/studying in foreign countries.

Well done!
