The Impact Of Tourism On Indian Culture

KnE Social Sciences / The 4th International Conference on Language, Society and Culture in Asian Contexts (LSCAC) / Pages 429-437

Abstract

Tourism is an important, even vital, source of income for many regions and countries. Increased leisure time and changes in lifestyle and consumption have given renewed importance to the tourism sector; formerly confined to the wealthy classes the chance to travel and visit other cultures is now commonplace. Tourism is a cultural phenomenon. It both impacts cultures and society, and is shaped by cultures and society. Tourism therefore has a profound effect on the host country and can enact huge changes in the community, and this impact is particularly noticeable in less-developed nations. The paper is an attempt to discuss the impact of tourism on Indian culture, considering the question of protecting and maintaining the cultural heritage and certain allied issues.
