    Food, festivals, costumes and other noticeable elements of a culture are highlighted to entertain tourists, who show no respect to the locals and may cause damage to the unique nature of a culture.
    Cultural commercialization has made the sacred elements of a culture commonplace and tourists are encouraged to attach little importance to a unique tradition, which cannot be found elsewhere.
    Too much tourism may harm the quality of the tradition and heritage of a place. Due to the unplanned and mismanaged growth of cultural tourism, an ever-booming place might gradually become the victim of its own success. By and by, the unique culture of that place may lose its attractiveness, which can eventually lead to the decline and fall of its cultural identity.
    NO
    Providing economic incentives for cultural preservation is unarguably one of the main contributions of tourism. To many tourists, culture and history are their first consideration when choosing a destination. Their mindset has been adopted by many tourism sites and their money has been subsequently used on cultural protection, including the maintenance of key historical sites.
    Tourism can make an indigenous culture known to the world and rally support worldwide to protect it.
    Needless to say, tourism adds value to a scenic resort by serving as a driving force in boosting that place’s economy.

答案     Will Culture Be Ruined by Tourism?
    Nowadays, cultural tourism plays a key role in promoting national culture. Its rapid growth has sparked extensive controversy over its influence on culture. Some people are concerned that excessive tourism may ruin the tradition and heritage of local culture while others hold the view that tourism is a boon to culture because it can not only provide funds for cultural preservation but also help to spread local culture.
    In my opinion, tourism can both protect and damage a culture. For one thing, the preservation of traditional culture and the restoration of historic sites are in need of significant funding, which is a tremendous financial burden for local governments. For another, while culture is used as a tool to make money, the government and tourism agencies may only pay attention to the profitable cultural projects and ignore those unremunerative ones with the same cultural and historical value. As a result, the existence and continuation of cultural diversity cannot be guaranteed.
    In conclusion, tourism can be a double-edged sword to local culture. Therefore, a sound and mutually beneficial relationship should be built between the protection of culture and the development of tourism.
