Is it a good thing that countries spend a lot of money on their heritage?

Preserving the national heritage is very important because of cultural, educational, social and touristic reasons. It also maintains the past alive and reminds the present and future generations about it.

Regarding preserving the past, sustaining the national heritage is such an important aspect to know who we are now; as a culture, we have to know and remember social, economic and historic events from the past.

As far as investing in the future is concerned, coming generations need and will want to know and learn about the history of their country. Museums and interactive experiences help young people to get interested in subjects such as history, art and geography.

Last but not least, tourism is another factor affected by the national heritage. Tourists are very interested in historical buildings, museums, art galleries, tours and visits to the principal sites in the city they visit.

To sum up, it is a good thing that countries invest a lot of money in their heritage because  it is very important for residents and tourists of all ages, it is fit to all kinds of people

Cultural heritage

Most countries spend a lot of money protecting their national heritage but not every citizen is in favour of it. So, is it worth it?

To begin with, it is important to protect the past for future generations. In my opinion, Governments should invest in preserving museums and historical places and documents, keeping them in good conditions to progress as a country because we cannot do it if we do not learn about our past.

Knowing about our history is also a right that we should claim as citizens. Not only do ancient customs represent citizens as a country but also unify them in the future, so it is important to preserve them.

Last, tourism is another reason for spending money on heritage because at the same time, the country will gain money with the expenses of the tourists.

Taking everything into consideration, preserving the past is not only good for citizens' knowledge but also for the economy of the country.
