One benefit of homestay is the opportunity to experience local culture firsthand. Travellers can learn about traditional customs, taste authentic homemade food, and engage in daily activities with the host family. It provides a deeper understanding of the local way of life. Another advantage is the chance to establish connections and make new friends. Staying with a host family allows for personal interactions and cultural exchange, fostering cross- cultural understanding and friendship. However, there are also some drawbacks to consider. One downside is the potential lack of privacy. Sharing living spaces with the host family means less personal space and limited privacy compared to staying in a hotel. Communication may also be a challenge if there are language barriers. It can be difficult to fully communicate and express needs and preferences without a common language. Additionally, homestays may have different levels of comfort and amenities compared to hotels. Facilities may be basic, and travellers need to adapt to the host family's lifestyle and routines. In conclusion, homestay tourism offers unique cultural experiences and the chance to connect with locals. While there may be challenges such as privacy and communication, it can be a rewarding way to immerse oneself in the local community and create lasting memories. 1. What is the main focus of the text? A. The advantages and disadvantages of homestay tourism B. The cultural experiences offered by homestay tourism C. The challenges of communication in homestay tourism D. The different levels of comfort in homestay accommodations
