雅思写作 Task 2

As transnational travel and the spread of the internet become increasingly common, many local traditional festivals are gradually evolving into "performance-oriented" events aimed at global tourists, with their original ritual significance being diminished. However, some argue that this commercial transformation is the only viable means for traditions to survive in contemporary society. To what extent does the globalized adaptation of traditional festivals represent a destruction of their essence, rather than a necessary form of cultural adaptation? Please articulate your position and support your argument with specific cultural examples.
