▶ Your Answer :
It is argued that
tourists from overseas should pay more than local residents to visit attractions
which is culturally and historically meaningful. Personally, I am against this
view.
The argument in
favour of higher prices for foreign visitors would be that many monuments and
tourist spots depend on the government grant for maintenance. It means that
local population already pays their money to support these places as a form of tax.
Another reason advocators say is that it can have a positive impact on cultural
and historical education for domestic people. Decreased financial burden would
encourage them to visit more often these places and in turn improve their interest
in history and culture of their motherland.
On the other hand, I
totally disagree with the discriminative policy since it is quite a superficial
approach. The biggest risk of it is being able to bring about the diminution of
the number of foreign tourists. If they recognized about additional fare for visiting
cultural and historical attractions in a particular country, they would decide
not to visit that. As a result, the profits through tourism industry would
certainly decrease, which can cause economic damage on a country.
Furthermore, the
contribution of foreign tourists to the economy of the host country overwhelms
the earnings from the admission of a few tourism spots. They spend considerable
amount of money on a variety of goods and services, including food, souvenirs,
accommodation, and travel. Thus, if a country charge them for added entrance
fee and lose these customers, it would be counterproductive for the national
economy.
In conclusion, I disagree
with the further expense for overseas tourists when visiting cultural and
historical spots. I believe that government should make every effort to attract
their customers, rather than imposing additional money.
