It is true that a number of tourists do not (줄임말 사용은 가급적이면 지양해주세요.) don't take care of historical sites and it causes difficulties in protecting them. While this is a serious problem, it can be solve by offering educational contents to tourists.
The main cause of harming ancient monuments is that they (문단에 처음 등장하는 사항이 대명사로 작성되어서는 안 됩니다.) don't recognize the historical significance of them. They have insufficient background knowledge of foreign history and less perception of how much these relics are meaningful. Also, they only think of traveling and having a fun there by taking photos so that they consider exotic places just as venues of (기존 표현도 틀린 건 아닙니다.) entertainment venues. For example, an article about some Korean people going overseas was released few years ago, and it was utterly embarrassing (만약에 시간이 부족했다면, 이것부터 빼주시면 됩니다.). The article said that Korean travelers had scribbled their names and attached stickers on a Greek temple. This news displayed how people are not aware of the proper behavior towards historic attractions.
However, there are solutions to this problem (여기의 경우도 윗 문단의 대명사 관련 내용과 마찬가지입니다. 이게 지칭하는 바를 정확하게 밝혀서, 핵심에 대한 꾸준한 상기를 해주세요~). One of the ways to forbid destroying historical places is to provide educational materials about the importance of cultural heritage for tourists. Respecting other countries' legacies and enhancing historic consciousness are effective steps to prevent ruining historic scenes. For instance, the government can create some brochures and videos in cooperation with specialists in tourism and history, containing an explanation on the correct attitude to antiquity. These sources can be distributed to people going on a trip at airports or by e-mail. Also, tour guides should give a warning against immoral acts ahead of the journey.
To sum up, it is clear that heritage sites are in danger because people who visit there neglect how these places are precious. Nevertheless, the issue can be resolved by teaching tourists the right etiquette for relics by a variety types of means. |
