Tourists should pay more for things than locals I live in a tourist town so I will give my point of view from this perspective In many places, foreign visitors are charged more than locals when they visit cultural or tourist attractions. Or in restaurants and shops, where prices rise during the summer season. The policy of charging more from foreigners than local people, is viewed as discrimination by many people while others accept it as being fair. I will explain both views. On the one hand, charging more from the tourists has many drawbacks. Nobody likes to pay more for the same thing. Besides, It will also negatively affect people's travel experience. Once the tourist realizes that the cost is high compared to other countries they can choose destination in other countries. However, the reasons why visitors should pay more. Firstly, it is expensive to maintain these tourist attractions. Tourists who visit once in their lifetime must compensate to the cost of maintenance by spending a little more money. Secondly, a small increase in charge will not affect their budget. Third, locals pay a lot from their salary as taxes for its maintenance. Finally, the visiting of a cultural site is part of the local community's history and heritage. They should not pay to learn about their history. In my opinion, it is important to raise money to maintain cultural heritage. Local people should try to maintain a good reputation and a rational use of their resources. I think, charging a little more from visitors is justifiable.
