Today, there are a lot of countries whose economy is supported by tourism, and more and more people visit certain historical monuments, hoping to touch the history. But there is an opinion that for the preservation of culture it is necessary to ban tourists, others argue that travel contributes to economic stability in the country. In this essay, I would like to express my opinion about both judgments.
At the present time, tourism is one of the most common industries that contributes to the replenishment of the state treasury, in this area a lot is invested, but also a lot is received from it. Naturally, people go to other countries not to look at modern buildings, which can also impress, but tourists come to touch the history, so far away, but so native. On average, about 30-40 million people come to London alone every year. And of course, such constant visits do not contribute to the preservation of historical monuments. And it is because of this that the opinion arose about the termination of tourism for the preservation of culture. Perhaps this is the right decision, in order to save the story not only in pictures, but also in real life.
But on the other hand, the question arises : "Then why do we need these monuments, if they can not be seen firsthand, to touch it?" What is the point of simply "preserving" the historical buildings, jealously guarding them and not letting anyone in? In my opinion, this in no way contributes to the preservation of culture, since people will simply stop being interested in it and this culture will sink into oblivion. Tourism, on the contrary, contributes to the development of culture, educating people in a particular story. In addition, in some countries, tourism is almost the only area that contributes to economic stability and helps this country to somehow stay afloat. It is only necessary to ban tourism, and these countries will become completely impoverished.
Therefore, in conclusion, I would like to say that the idea of banning tourism will not lead to anything good. In my opinion, this area should be constantly developed, thus contributing to the education of people.
