范文:
It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more
than local residents to visit important sites and monuments. I completely
disagree with this idea.
The argument in favour of higher prices for foreign tourists would be that
cultural or historical attractions often depend on state subsidies to keep them
going, which means that the resident population already pays money to these
sites through the tax system. However, I believe this to be a very shortsighted
view. Foreign tourists contribute to the economy of the host country with the
money they spend on a wide range of goods and services, including food,
souvenirs, accommodation and travel. The governments and inhabitants of every
country should be happy to subsidise important tourist sites and encourage
people from the rest of the world to visit them.
If travellers realised that they would have to pay more to visit historical
and cultural attractions in a particular nation, they would perhaps decide not
to go to that country on holiday. To take the UK as an example, the tourism
industry and many related jobs rely on visitors coming to the country to see
places like Windsor Castle or Saint Paul’s Cathedral. These two sites charge the
same price regardless of nationality, and this helps to promote the nation’s
cultural heritage. If overseas tourists stopped coming due to higher prices,
there would be a risk of insufficient funding for the maintenance of these
important buildings.
In conclusion, I believe that every effort should be made to attract
tourists from overseas, and it would be counterproductive to make them pay more
than local residents.
