The increasing convenience of international flight and globalisation make it easier for travellers to step out of their national boundaries and experience the exotic atmosphere of other countries. However, travellers’ prejudice also arises along with the booming of the international tourism. I view that language barrier and the preconceptions of tourists are mainly responsible for this phenomenon.
It is quite natural that many international tourists hardly know the local languages, rendering it difficult for them to communicate with local people. This means that the interaction between holidaymakers and local people is quite restricted, which may only range from taking some snapshots of the landscapes or getting some second-hand information from the tour guides. As a result, misunderstanding of the local conventions and cultures are likely to occur due to inefficiency of language, and to some extent, misunderstanding itself will induce bias.
Another reason contributes to this problem is tourists’ preconceptions. The preconceptions, once coming into shape, are somewhat hard to change. Some of the tourists may feel reluctant to take initiatives to know the exotic cultures and practices because there are some differences between their native culture which they have been accustomed to and the totally new surroundings. For example, many international tourists from developed countries have a biased outlook of the unsophisticated and natural cultures of some African countries, misinterpreting them something backward and primitive.
To solve this problem, more concerted effort should be made. It is advisable that the tourist form a more comprehensive understanding by obtaining more information about their destination. They can also make friends with some local residents to have a closer look on their real life. Besides, publicity launched by local governments and media can also make a difference. More advertisements can be made to inform tourists of the realistic surroundings of their tour destination.
To sum up, tourists will be more open-minded and objective by analysing the reasons of this phenomenon and then making the joint effort.
