Just like modern day tourists, the tourism industry has been on a steady, fast paced journey due to technological evolution. With the affordability and easy accessibility, traveling potential has greatly increased. Sometimes, it is the destination that matters along with the people you go on the voyage with. This paper will analyze Isla Holbox as a cultural destination.

The problematic nature of cultural tourism is a topic that is heavily debated in multiple academic disciplines. Anthropology, sociology, psychology, and economics all have extensive theories about the consequences cultural tourism has on the cultures being exploited by the tourism industry. Further examination of cultural tourism has turned the focus onto the tourists themselves and questioned the validity of their gaze as they are the ones consuming the culture through the witnessing of particular “displays of culture.” These displays could be in the form of community life, food, historical sites, and museums, but arguably the most popular displays of culture tourists consume are the performative aspects of said culture. Including but not exclusive to displays of dance, theatre, and song, tourists see performance as an accessible gateway into a culture. When considering the identity of a spectator in any situation, drama theory is a useful tool in deconstructing the complicated role a spectator has, however, when the situation being viewed is inherently performative, the spectator’s role becomes even more complex. In the use of the term ‘inherently performative,’ one is not limited in analyzing merely performances that are created for spectacle. The function of performance can be regarded as entertainment, political commentary, or in the case of this essay, religious worship.

The independent cultural experience that I chose to participate in was going to dine at the Taj Palace, in Yakima, Washington. This place is very authentic. When you walk in the restaurant, it felt very traditional because they had Indian music playing, and it was well decorated. I felt very interested in doing this experience because I have an Uncle related by marriage who is from India, and I do not know very much about this culture. Although I don’t know very much about it, I am very curious and interested in learning about it. India is a place that has always intrigued me, and has been on a list of places that I would love to travel to. Learning very surface level facts about India in school has sparked

Cultural and heritage tourism is focused on experiencing the local customs, traditions, arts, history, sites, and culture that authentically represent a particular place. The visitor wants to learn about the history of a place through immersion experiences including local cuisine, craft, music, other indigenous entertainment; visiting historic and natural attractions; and meeting local people.

However, there were five factors as mention by Simon (n.d.) that people feel uncomfortable about cultural activities: first, it was not link to people’s life, which shows that people might feel it boring; second, it never change the way of activities, which means that the activities should be diversity; third, people could not understand the culture, which means that the events would not give the value of culture to people; then, the events was close, which means that the events should receipt every kind of feedback to improve the culture custom; last, the events was not worth to discuss, which means that the value of culture could not be explored. Those factors might help the cultural organization to improve the activities performance.

There is a growing interest in ethics in all industries. All managers face ethical dilemmas and the visitor attraction sector is not an exception. In particular the ethical challenges that refer to the archaeological site management involve the concept of cultural tourism. Indeed, cultural tourism has been recognized as a distinct type of tourism during the 1970s when it became apparent that some tourists have been motivated to travel by their desire to better understand the culture and the heritage of a touristic destination. Cultural tourism differentiates form the typical sea, sand and sun tourism. The growing importance of cultural tourism and its ability to attract tourists makes destination to try to promote their cultural and heritage assets in

The positive impact of the culture is that we can make the guests learn and appreciate more about tradition with events and make people exchange culture with the local communities. For instance, “the Brazilian Turtle Conservation Program (TAMAR). When it opened in 1982, few tourist were visiting and it had 500 turtles, but by 2008, there was an impressive growth in the number of tourists: 600000 each year, and this apparently led to a population” (Stronza & Pegas, 2008, 270-271). In other words, experience tourism helps to preserve the local culture and communities, as they become a tourist attraction. Additionally, the rural and the backward areas will learn the modern culture, their practices of modern society that will help them to come out of their traditional religious beliefs, morals and important values. (Scientific Review of Physical Culture, 2015, 4). People come from all around the world to the same country with different culture, they won’t really care about it if their surroundings are clean. Hence, the foreign traveler increased the economy in the local area because of the visit made by the increasing number of guests that arrived at the country for the purpose of learning essential culture and traditions of a developed and developing the

Abstract: Throughout this essay I have discussed that authenticity is relative and not absolute. The significance of authenticity within cultural tourism lies only with the experience of the travelling tourist and their individual desires. Within this essay I have broken down the different elements within cultural tourism and authenticity to help support my argument, which is clearly stated above: authenticity is merely subjective not objective.

In determining a business opportunity, two main problems have been identified. The first problem arises from the growing prevalence of cultural tourism; modern tourists are more concerned with immersing themselves in the cultural context of their destination than ever before (Richards, 2007). Travellers are wanting to see more than just the sights - there is an emerging desire to meet local inhabitants and experience what life is like for them (Smith, 2009). The problem that arises from this is that it can be difficult for travellers to meet locals and experience the culture beyond that which can be found in the guidebook. Additionally, these kinds of experiences can be expensive and difficult to organise.

Nevertheless, the Association for Development of Cultural Tourism, known as Europa Nostra, nominated the Durrës Amphitheatre to ‘The 7 Most Endangered’ list in 2013. The importance of such a recommendation can help bring attention to the much needed renovation and preservation of this site. Europa Nostra believes having the Durrës amphitheater on the World Heritage List will have a big impact on the revitalization of the city. They also indicate, being placed on the list, would help put Durrës back on the map of historic sites in Europe. The amphitheater is one of the most remarkable heritage sites not only for Albania, but also for the whole of the Balkan region (Ponce de Leon, 2013).

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.
