In recent times, travelling to international destinations has become a trend. With this a few individuals believe that travellers must follow the local culture of the serving country, whereas, the opposite believes they shall be given the freedom to follow the custom as per their preferences. I will discuss both the viewpoints in impending paragraphs and reach a logical conclusion.

Undoubtedly, following the customs of any local place would diversify the cultural knowledge of an individual as one person can get an in-depth knowledge of the host country’s culture. Resultantly, their perception about its culture would definitely improve. India would be a clear example of this since many global personalities have over the time claimed India to be a culturally rich nation.

Alternatively, freedom of cultural preference should be provided to a visitor for numerous reasons. Firstly, any individual wants to feel comfortable on vacation; if given a choice to follow their personal tradition, one can fully enjoy their leisure time. As a result,only that individual is likely to visit that place again as they felt relaxed and at-home while visiting this country.

In my perspective, following the local customs is much preferable as the visitors will be able to explore more. If they are ready to accept the new culture, local citizens would also take a keen interest in comprehending the cultural references for them.
In conclusion, although it is important to rejuvenate while on a vacation, I believe following a country’s local rituals would enhance one’s knowledge and also make them familiar with local people.
