Yes, out cultural historical sites should be preserved. Even if there is no scope of revenue generation through tourism. Tourism is a byproduct not the main criteria. It helps to bring in the money to maintain and upgrade the facilities, which in turn brings more people, which in turn promotes the positives (and pride) of the culture 10 hours ago, Mariyam said: But tourism is only going to flourish where people have something to do. Baga, McLeodganj, Udaipur, Allepy and Leh will always do better revenue than a Meenaxi temple or a Taj Mahal or a Lohagad. It depends on interest. I have visited places like Rome (Vatican), Hohenschwangau (where Neuschwanstein Castle is), Versailles (for the palace), Salzburg (heritage old city), etc., just for the old sites Udaipur too, I like for the palaces. I like to drive on mountainous/hilly roads as well Edited December 15, 2021 by zen Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
