To avoid offending the locals. We may not agree with their beliefs,
but to avoid trouble, it's often best just to go along with them. Is

Well when you're expecting people to pay a lot of money, for something
they don't *need*, where they will have to pretend to be something
they aren't, yes, it might make people less excited about going.
Is it a big enough issue to prevent everyone from going? Certainly
not. But probably some people.
