Necessity adjustment: tourism

After I read an article called " Rape of culture", it actually amazed me becasue people' ignorance cause some disrespect of culture. For instance, they do not really care local environment and follow traditional rules like stealing woods from local people, treating locals with unpolite way. In my opinion, those things are intolerable because locals so welcome us as tourists allows us to visit their place for travel experience and offer nothing but the most sincere heart to serve us. Therefore, tourism industry should reform the internal system for tourists to improve the "ethic" of tourism.

First of all, tourism companies ought to provide lessons and trainnings for tourists to improve their morals in order to emphasize the importance of how to get along with locals and respecting local culture as travelers. Second, companies should make promise for locals that tourists travelling in civilized way and take a responsibility of unpleasant events taking place in local environment because they open the access of visiting and they are the first one associated with locals. Therefore, eveyone related to tourism has an obligation to behave themselves and respect culture when they go travelling. It is not about forcing people to follow those rules, but it is more like an appeal for people to realise the basic ethic as travellers. Eventually, if people are able to travel morally, rape of culture will no longer exist. If there is no more rape of culture, tourism industry shall be more prosperous.
