New Data on Cultural Preservation for Globalization Partners vs Traditional Tourism

Abstract

In 2019, tourism brought in $5.8 trillion in earnings and 6.7% of the world’s GDP or 1.5 billion people traveled globally. Due to the high scale of tourism across global boundaries, these are the terrifying numbers of people we have allowed in to see and show us their ways of living, and to discover our own.This unprecedented growth has had its cultural cross over and social interaction but at the same time there are concerns about the preservation of local traditions and authenticity. This worldwide integration is better positioned to benefit those countries with high globalization levels, as measured by the KOF Globalization Index, and well developed tourism industries. Nevertheless, transnational companies’ rapidly growing operations have still had a major impact on local cultures and economies.That is why we can observe a transformation in how to involve globalization partners in tourism development. The recent data from 1970 to 2021 corroborate that tourism globalization varies among countries as some countries like Finland had an annual growth of up to 1.2%. Now through this analysis, we will understand how globalization is changing traditional tourism by taking part in joining with international initiatives to solve major problems of cultural preservation.
