Cultural tourism, where people travel in order to visit museums, monuments and archaeological sites among other things, is a growing industry. Having so many visitors may sometimes benefit a nation’s cultural heritage, but can also cause problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Every year, millions of people travel to other countries for vacations spending billions of dollars. Tourists like to visit museums, monuments and archaeological. It is because the tourists can really understand the cultural heritage in the country.
With the amazing development in transportations, everyone get fly easily. The cheap air ticket brings happiness to many people. Visitors no need to spend higher cost in a journey. Therefore, many people can get travelling nowadays. Cultural tourism brings benefits and weaknesses to the nation’s cultural heritage. In my part, I will say cultural tourism will bring more advantages than weaknesses.
First of all , cultural tourism let the visitors understand the local culture and know how to respect the local people and places. Next, tourism can develop country economy. It creates many jobs to the local labours and available the work in hotels, restaurants, travel businesses, taxis, entertainment centers resorts and others. Furthermore, tourism can lead to better environment. The government dedicate to reduce environment pollution.
On the other hand, too many visitors also cause some problems. If too many visitors visit a place will cause traffic congestion. Others, people working as waiters or cleaners do not receive a high salaries. However, the most important is that visitors can lead to problems such as alcohol or prostitution.
In conclusion, visitors should enjoy their travelling and visiting a new place, but they should give the full respect to the local people and places. The practical approach government can do is to encourage the strengths and diminish the weakness as much as possible.
Thanks a lot..Hope everyone can correct to me.thanks Again!

Hello Jlim
Introduction

In my essay I will look at some of the benefits cultural tourism brings and also at some problems it causes.
