Should campus be open to tourists?

Wangsirui (China)

In my opinion, there are a lot of benefits for opening the campus for the tourists. First of all, it is a free advertisement for campus. In fact, it is a common practice not only in China but also in other parts of world . When you travel in the US or UK, especially on package travel, most travel agencies will offer a trip to Cambridge or Oxford for you and your kids. Secondly, it is a good chance for you and your kids to get to know the famous campus and encourage them to go there to study. It is also a good way for the government to boost local tourism. On the other hand, the campus should strengthen the management of open areas and keep a restriction on visitors.
