6 Culture today
... the BIG DEBATE: Should we prohibit to protect?
In 1985, UNESCO added the ancient city of Petra to its World Heritage list because of its taskexceptional universal value ... which deserves protection for the benefit of all humanity’. Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the city every year. Unfortunately, the tourists don’t always act in a responsible way and cause damage to the buildings and the delicate plant life in the area. The site now needs very expensive restoration.
I think that we should prohibit people from visiting world Heritage sites in order to protect these places. If people dontaskt know how to behave in a responsible way, they shouldntaskt be allowed to get near to ancient monuments and buildings. Maybe we could limit the entry to people who can prove that they are responsible?
l don’t think we should prohibit entry anywhere. The world belongs to everybody, so we can’t just stop people and say, ‘no, you cantaskt come in’. We have to teach people to respect these travel destinations and maybe make them pay for any damage they cause.
Responsible tourism
Here are some tips for tourists from the Friends of World Heritage:
o Take your rubbish away with you so that other people can enjoy visiting clean sites after you leave.
o Support the local economy by buying local products like postcards or T-shirts.
o Never take away a piece of the site itself. Don’t be tempted to take a pretty stone or a bag of sand, just think what would happen if everybody did the same!
o Enjoy views from the ground. Helicopters create noise pollution and their carbon emissions are very harmful. Travel using the least polluting method of transport.
o Never climb onto the walls of ancient monuments and buildings.
o Hire local guides.
o Respect the natural environment.
Test your memory!
o When did Petra join the World Heritage list?
o How can you support the local economy?
o Why are helicopters harmful?
Should we prohibit to protect? What do you think?
