Tourism can be very good for traditional cultures. This is because when people travel to another country, they often want to learn more about that country’s traditions, such as music, food, and history.

praying in temples(庙宇). While the local people pray, tourists take photos and make noise. This often bothers the local people. Sometimes tourists also damage(破坏) local places. If 500 people enter an ancient temple every day, they might damage that temple.
