Globalization in Tourism

Globalization in tourism refers to the process by which travel and tourism activities become more interconnected worldwide. Advances in transportation, communication, and infrastructure enable people to visit distant destinations more easily and quickly. This interconnectedness promotes cultural exchange, expands markets for tourism services, and influences local economies. It also allows travelers to access diverse experiences, while destinations benefit from increased visitor numbers. However, globalization can also pose challenges, such as environmental impact and cultural commodification. Overall, it reflects the growing integration of global economies and societies through the movement of people seeking leisure, business, or cultural exploration.
