Is tourism good or bad for Taiwan?
From my point of view, I feel that tourism is good for Taiwan. There are no serious negatives impacts while it helps to generate a significant amount of revenue, which in turn helps to improve the living standards of the people.
Besides, it is true to a certain extent that without tourism, many of the cultures would have been lost since they are of ‘no value’ to those who do not cherish cultures and traditions. With tourism, cultures are being preserved and cherished by the locals with local pride and proudly displayed to the tourists. Even though some cultures are slightly commodified, it is still alright as the situation is not too serious, with the main elements of the cultures still in place.
Moreover, we always see Taiwanese being very passionate and enthusiastic in welcoming tourists, mostly with wide smiles on their faces. They are ‘suitable’ for tourism because of their hospitable nature since they welcome tourists and treat them like one family.
As long as there are regulations and policies to limit the negative impacts of tourism, ensuring that the interests of Taiwan’s culture and society would be protected, there will be no harm developing tourism. On the contradictory, developing tourism would bring great benefits to the country, in which I personally feel that showcasing its culture to let everyone understand and appreciate is of the most importance. Only by understanding and appreciating one another’s cultures and traditions, will the world become a better place with countless amazing cultures, all in one place; the earth, of one race; the human race.
