Nowadays international tourism is the biggest industry worldwide. Unfortunately, sometimes it creates tension between people from different cultures instead of better understanding. Why do you think it is happening and how can it be improved?

Tourism is one of the large and important economic sectors in any country. Through tourism, people can see the natural features of other countries and experience the cultures of different peoples of the world. But, in many cases, tensions can arise between people of different cultures for many reasons. First, such conflicts occur because tourists do not read in advance about the cultural characteristics of the country where they are flying, thereby not intentionally provoking the locals. For example, in Muslim countries it is not advisable to walk around the city in open clothes and swimsuits. Secondly, tradition plays a big role in the life of every nation, and a lack of respect for tradition can lead to great controversy. Thirdly the peculiarities of national food can cause a shock to tourists who are not familiar with it, and this too can lead to a number of misunderstandings. Fourthly the language barrier plays an important role in the understanding of other people, because the sound of words can be the same in different languages, but have completely different meaning. Fifth, tourists don't care about the environment and don't take responsibility, litter in other countries Tensions and disagreements between tourists from different cultures can occur because of everything, but most often it is a lack of knowledge and lack of information about the tourist country. And in order to improve understanding between people from different cultures, people need to be more tolerant, respectful and learn the cultures, traditions, language and national food of the country in which they live or holiday, also respect the environment, not to litter. After all, not without reason is the proverb: "Do not enter into someone else's monastery with its own charter.
