PART 3
Why do some people like to visit historical places?
People go to historical cities to learn/gain knowledge about the past, the way of
life of the people in the past, their culture, their roots, and the architecture.
Why do people go to modern city?
People visit modern
cities for various purposes, some go for work/business
reasons, and some for tourism. Those who travel for pleasure to modern cities is
to experience a life, where modern technology is incorporated in every aspect of
life and to learn and see how people there are using
technology in their daily
lives. Singapore is a very
good example of such a city, where we can not only
experience
the modern way of life, but also see how they have used
modernization to help preserve and enrich the environment.
What are the problems caused by maintaining historical city?
The problems that maintenance of a historical city perhaps can cause are related
to the funds required for the restoration and upkeep of the city.
Another issue
could be the pressure on the resources of that city because of tourism.
Do you think having too many tourists is a positive thing for historical
attractions??
No, I don’t think so. I believe that too many tourists will lead to pollution and also
will affect the upkeep of historical sites. Such sites
need a lot of care and
maintenance and limiting the number of visitors to such
sites can help maintain
them, prevent damage to such sites, and also sustain tourism.
What can we do to stop visitors from damaging historical places?
To prevent the damage to historical places by the visitors to such places many
measures can be taken. There should be strict punishments, like high fines for the
people who try to cause harm. There should be security personnel employed to
ensure that no one tries to damage the historical places and along with that there
should be security cameras installed to monitor the activities of the tourists. There
can be tourist guides appointed, who also can ensure that no one causes any
damage.
