越来越多的人崇尚旅游，不同的地域，风俗都各不相同，今天我们的雅思写作话题是来谈谈游客对当地风俗的影响。

　　It is evident that cultural differences between tourists and local inhabitants should be preserved to some extent. Tourism is a manifestation of the human desire for variety and for exploration, which enables the tourists to get first-hand multi-sensory experiences with an exotic culture differing from their own. I would be hard-pressed to imagine how much pleasure and excitement tourism can afford us should all the cultural differences between hosts and guests be eliminated. Further, the practicality of having all the tourists adopt the local customs and behaviour is questionable. After all, not all tourists would be willing to turn an expensive international trip intended for pleasure into a cultural lesson which requires hard work to learn.

　　A certain degree of tourists' conformity to the local customs and behaviour is still necessary. For one thing, this helps tourists avoid many inconveniences and conflicts during their trips abroad. For instance, Asian tourists would be spared the embarrassment of irritating their servers if they are well-informed about and follow the custom of tipping in an American restaurant. Likewise, Western travelers may avoid being highly obtrusive if they make it a point to remain calm and solemn in an Asian place of worship. Moreover, efforts to adopt the local customs and behaviour enable foreign tourists to better appreciate and identify with the local cultural heritage such as rites, rituals, folklore and even handicrafts.
