Homestay is a type of tourism where travellers stay with local families in their homes.
It offers both benefits and drawbacks.
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
