Health
High altitude sickness is most common problem. You need
to prepared it and bring your own medication. Also, it is
recommend to have something to protect from sunburn. It
is good to have your own First Aid Kit. Lost appetite makes
travellers vulnerable, it is wise to travel with some medicine
and high nutrition foods.
Good to
be aware
Many Tibetans don't like to be taken
photographs. Some thinks that photographing shorten their
life-spend. Therefore, you are advised to ask before you
shoot somebody.
You know, Tibetans have no idea what
western culture are like. Also, you don't know much about
real Tibetan culture. Therefore, there are a great risk
that you can cause offence against local Tibetans by doing
something is normal in your culture. So, pay attendion what
you wear and how to keep your relationship with your partners,
boyfriend & girlfriend. Short-trousers, mini-skirts,
and kissing & hugging in public can be really offensive
to local people.
Tourist Impact
Many tourists show no interested in
knowing what a $ 1 U.S. worth in another country. Because
lack of this knowledge cause so many problems between local
people and tourists.
$ 8 to $ 12 U.S. worth a simple lunch for an American or
European. it can be earned between an hour and less than
an hour. The same amount of money is a day wage for most
hard working Tibetans in Tibet. Unemployment rate in Tibet
is 78% percent in Tibet.
What do you think the scale tourist
impact could there be? Many tourists only think what things
and serves are worth in their country. Because this calculation,
many Tibetans have learned to ask so much extra money and
they get it. Tourist need to know how to buy products and
services at the prices in Tibet, not prices outsite Tibet.
Only tourist who have knowledge of local money value can
do a fair deal. Obviously, no third Tibetans want to see
when some Tibetans cheating and robbing tourists because
tourists don't know how much worth for a product or service
in Tibet.
