Religion can also leave a strong mark on communication culture. Religious people will find peace of mind when traveling to the country of their religion. They also receive sympathy from local people of the same religion. On the contrary, religious disputes are a difficult obstacle to overcome in organizing tourism activities.

Since its inception, tourism has been considered as “the expansion of human cultural space” (Nguyen Khac Vien). People in different cultures have the need to travel to search, exchange, learn new things, cultivate good things, supplement the lacking things, enrich their knowledge after material values ​​have been satisfied. That is one of the main reasons for tourism activities to form and develop rapidly.

1.2.2.The impact of tourism on culture

It can be affirmed that without cultural values, the tourism industry of that country cannot have the potential to develop, but the impact of tourism on culture also has both positive and negative meanings.


Being “built” on culture, development must be based on a cultural foundation, but tourism is not passive but has impacts on culture, developing for cultural purposes, contributing to preserving, embellishing and promoting cultural values. In the development of human history, the social culture of regions, areas, ethnic groups and areas have exchanges, penetration and interaction with each other. Besides the increasing exchange between cultures in the world thanks to the development of transportation, communication, diplomacy and trade, tourism activities promote cultural exchange activities in the most direct and fastest way. Because, on the one hand, the need for tourism is the desire to satisfy the desire to learn about other cultures, urging people to travel to exchange; On the other hand, tourism is a practical human activity. In a broad sense, it belongs to the cultural category. It is a high-level cultural activity that appears and comes after cultural activities that meet people's daily living needs.

- For spiritual culture:

Tourism development has an impact on promoting the construction of spiritual civilization. At the same time, promoting tourism is a fundamental factor of social prosperity. Tourism development contributes to the protection and development of folk culture.

- For intellectual culture:

Tourism development is beneficial for improving the investment environment and promoting openness to the outside world. Tourism has a positive impact on the development of many industries and agriculture. Tourism always requires high-quality goods, rich in variety, aesthetics and form. The readiness to welcome tourists is not only limited to tourism resources but also requires technical facilities, flight systems, stations, post offices, etc. These are the things that make tourism development beneficial for the exchange and development of science and technology. Only when there is quality infrastructure can we attract more tourists. Tourism will not develop strongly without the support of the scientific and technological revolution.

- For normative culture:


Tourism is a means of educating patriotism, preserving and enhancing national traditions. Through sightseeing trips, vacations, sightseeing,... people have the opportunity to become familiar with beautiful landscapes, history and national culture, thereby loving their country more. The function of tourism is cultural exchange, so when traveling, tourists have the opportunity to meet, exchange, and at the same time have the opportunity to learn, expand their knowledge, and participate in many interesting traditional cultural activities at the places they visit.

In addition, tourism has the potential to contribute to the promotion and protection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The development of tourism activities brings economic benefits, contributing to the preservation, restoration and development of heritage.

Tourism development also contributes to introducing the country and people of each country, strengthening international cooperation.

However, tourism activities also have some negative impacts on culture, first of all, the excessive exploitation of human tourism resources without strict management has seriously affected and damaged cultural heritages. Currently, there are more and more trends of "modernization" and "commercialization" of activities of preserving, promoting cultural heritages and developing tourism. A series of heritages are "modernized" indiscriminately. Many other places compete to restore relics hastily, without understanding, causing the relics to no longer be themselves.

Not only that, tourism penetrates the community, commercializing purely indigenous cultural values. Nowadays, it is easy to see images of hotels, motels, restaurants, temporary eateries, food shops… springing up everywhere with fragmented and chaotic business activities around tourist areas.

One of the functions of tourism is cultural exchange between communities. When traveling, tourists always want to penetrate into local cultural activities. However, sometimes the penetration with legitimate purposes is abused and the penetration turns into invasion.


On the other hand, to satisfy the needs of tourists, for the immediate economic benefits, traditional cultural activities are performed unnaturally or unprofessionally or made fun of by tourists. Many tourism suppliers have persuaded local people to regularly perform customs and festivals for visitors to see. In many cases, due to lack of understanding of the origin and meaning of festival behaviors, people explain them incorrectly or even nonsense.

Thus, the true cultural values ​​of a community that should be respected are used as entertainment for tourists. Traditional values ​​are gradually overshadowed by abuse for economic purposes.

Due to the large number of traditional items being re-made as souvenirs for tourists, careless production has distorted the true value of tradition and distorted the image of an indigenous culture.

One of the common trends in poor countries welcoming tourists from rich countries is that local people, especially young people, increasingly reject traditions and change their way of life to follow tourist trends.

There are two factors considered to be the main causes of this phenomenon. One is that in business activities, local people use tourists' standards to please them in order to attract maximum profits for themselves. The second is the foreign-oriented ideology, local people highly appreciate the lifestyle of tourists, considering this a manifestation of civilization and wealth. This is most evident among young people.

The impact of tourism activities on socio-culture is also reflected in the relationship between tourists and local people. In general, over time, the attitude of local people towards tourists gradually changes from positive to negative.

In the early stages, when the first tourists appeared, the local people were extremely excited. Tourists were warmly welcomed, with all their respect and hospitality.

Over time, contrary to the increase in the flow of visitors, the warm feelings


The relationship between tourists and local people is becoming colder and replaced by a commercial relationship. The vast majority of tourists are welcomed with courtesy.

Unpleasant feelings towards tourists appear. The presence of too many tourists in the locality has affected the psychology of local people, making many people uncomfortable. Conditions for contact and communication with the community are reduced, and therefore sympathy and empathy are also greatly limited. Worse is when thoughts and actions against tourists appear. Loss of sympathy due to indifference, fear of being attacked... if the local government and the tourism industry do not have effective measures, the number of tourists coming to the tourist destination will gradually decrease.

Therefore, when developing tourism, culture should be considered an advantage but intangible cultural space should not be destroyed or heritages should be damaged.

It can be said that any phenomenon in society has its cultural aspect, but for tourism activities, culture is both a resource and a measure, a way to make profit. Therefore, the relationship between tourism and culture is always extremely closely linked. In any country, at any time, it is necessary to consider this relationship to establish sustainable values ​​in business, especially tourism business.

Although tourism must rely on the economy to have the technical infrastructure for tourism activities and tourism itself is a comprehensive economic sector, but in general and ultimately, tourism is a cultural activity. The cultural nature of tourism, or in short, tourism culture, is not a simple addition between culture and tourism but a cultural form in the field of tourism, with a definite content. Tourism culture is a specific form of social culture, born from tourism activities or closely related to it. Tourism culture will develop along with the development of tourism.
