tourists but not local people. Why is this the case and what can be done to
attract more local people to visit these places?

5. (24/07/2019): International travel is becoming cheaper and cheaper, and

more countries are now opening their doors to foreign visitors. Do you think
that the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that it is now less expensive to brochure: a small magazine or book

6. (14/09/2019): Some people think that cultural traditions will be

destroyed if they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists.
Others, however, believe that is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss
both these views and give your own opinion.

Essay:
It is true that many people argue that
cultural traditions will only survive if
they are commercially packaged for the
tourist market. While this may be the
case, I agree with the opposing view
that such packaging inevitably leads to
the death of those traditions.
On the one hand, globalisation is

which are destroying traditional ways relating to the society and economy of

On the other hand, I agree with those

who believe that the commercialisation meaningless: without any reason or

will not save those cultures. Firstly,
culture becomes meaningless when it is
something which is presented to
