Some people believe that visitors to other countries should follow local customs and behavior. It is quite common these day that international tourism is booming as never before, and an increasing number of people would like to pay a visit to other countries and get a better understanding of the other cultures. While the contradiction between the visitors and indigenous people is obvious due to the culture differences. Those who are in favor of respecting the culture of local residents argue that following the local tradition is a good way to release the tension and conflict caused by culture differences and strengthen the bonds between visitors and inhabitants. Besides, it can help travelers to get a deep grasp of the culture. So all of these points above have proved that visitors need to be polite to local customs and behavior. On the other hand, there are many aspects against this argument. They firmly believe that tourism could create many employment opportunities and provide a steady resource of income to local governments. Furthermore, it is also an excellent opportunity for the host country to show the tolerated and open-minded quality to the visitors from all over the world and win the respect as feedback. What’s more, the local residents should tolerate and absorb the differences. Thus, they can promote the development of their own culture and enrich their local culture at the same time. My own view is that mutual respect and understanding between them are important to ensure the inheritance and development of local culture and avoid them disappearing.
