These days, there are frequent visits or travels of foreigners to other
countries which have diffiernt cultures and traditions from theirs. It is apparently seen that some confusion with lots of misunderstandings between visitors
and local communities exist because of different values each has.
In Following paragraphs, I will discuss few arguments concerning which side
should follow the others' customs to remove those misconceptions metioned
above.
Some people believe that visitors should follow local customs and behaviour. This is plausible if we consider the fact that travelers are the one who are responsible for keeping their etiquettes while experiencing new things in other countries. Acutally It is natural for local people who are in their homeground to act as what they have done as usual. People in a certain country should respect its own way of behaving and get used to the customs it has.
However, others disagree and think that the host country must welcome
cultural differences. They argue that visitors are special guests who should
get favorable treatments from the local families. People claim that locals are
the one who can make a lot of income by tourists from other countries. So,
as a part of services, host people should follow and respect travelers' cultures as it can be hard for foreigners to become familiar with certain behaviour.
In my point of view, I can easily say that both of these opinions are true with appropriate reasons. But the most important thing is that people must respect and try to understand the difference among multi-cultures in any situations. It will be the best way for both local communities and visitors to consider traditions and customs of one another.
