Tourism and Society

"The book is an in-depth comparison between two socially and culturally different settings (Holland and India), and an attempt to understand the behavioral trends and attitudes of the Indian and western tourists. It also tries to analyse the ways in which tourism is contributing to changes in value systems, individual behavior, family relationships, moral conduct, creative expressions, traditional ceremonies and community organizations.The book also studies another controversial issue: the staging of authentic cultural experiences, in order to attract and promote tourism itself. Does it sustain the culture, or corrupt it? this and many other debates surrounding tourism today are examined in this book."Modi, Shalini is the author of 'Tourism and Society', published 2001 under ISBN 9788170336709 and ISBN 8170336708.
