The potential for the tour and tourism to
attract people is considerable with the evidence of a significant increase in
number of tourists worldwide in the past decade. There are some people who like
to stay in well organized hotels and do not pay much attention to the world
outside that hotel, while others prefer roaming and sight-seeing so that they
can acquire knowledge regarding culture, traditions and values of that
particular area which seems like my kind of travel, so I am in accord with this
second statement given.
In this context, I feel that the primary
purpose of tourism is to expand the horizon of knowledge and to fortify the
notion of strengthening multicultural society and world peace, staying in
hotels will not serve this purpose. Analysis of ethnic customs, cultural values
and lifestyle of people helps to transform cultural malpractice with healthy
habits as we learn by observations.
Local community is also benefitted by
traveling as there is exchange of ideas between locals and travelers which, in
particular, advances their knowledge. It improves economic conditions of locals
by motivating them to sell handicrafts and local cuisines; therefore, it
provides them employment as well.
In short, tourism flourish healthy
relationship among people hailed from different civilizations, thereby improves
relationships. Tourism should involve roaming and being among the local
community, not just staying in hotels, to serve its laudable purpose.
