2 . Be a good tourist

Tourism can be good or bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.

    1     Tourists have used paint, rocks or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”.     2     If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.

Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life.       3     For example, Chang Mai University in Tailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate.     4    

The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you not the one!     5    

Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.

A．Just think from other aspects.

B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

C．Have fun in a way that does not disturb others.

D．Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.

E．I have three words for people like this: please stop it.

F．One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace.

G．Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.
