The debate over whether foreign people should follow local customs or the country should acknowledge the cultural differences is longstanding. While both points have valid arguments, I believe that visitors from other countries should follow local customs and behaviors.
On the one hand, visitors with different cultures should follow local customs and behaviors to experience the country’s unique experience and carry it along to their hometown, which creates increase in tourism for the host country and worldwide status. For example, by following local customs and behavior people can gain a lot of great experiences to remember about certain country which helps that country too with a inevitable increase in tourism. Moreover, by foreigners adjusting to local customs and behavior the country’s peace and harmony are also not disturbed and chaos and conflicts would be avoided.
On the other hand, some people contradict this view and believe that the host country should acknowledge the differences and welcome other cultures. The proponents of this view also believe that this way people from different countries would find more comfort visiting foreign countries and this way the country could also experience wide range of cultures which could help locals and visitors learn and acquire each other’s merits. For example, visitors from other countries could help backward countries residents by enriching them new cultures.
In conclusion, while accepting differences in culture could be beneficial to some extent, it depletes the originality of the home culture of the country and could potentially be a reason for conflicts and chaos. So, in my opinion visitors from other countries should try to follow the local customs for their and others good.
