Comment on whether tourism has been a culprit in commodifying cultures and traditions?


Tourism , culprit in commodifying cultures and traditions or not?

I feel that tourism is the culprit of commodifying culture and tradtion. To date, many Disneyization has been spotted in Taiwan and this is due to the increase in tourism. In order to increase economy and tourism receipts, many of the places are commodifed to the demands of the tourist. This means that some of the culture and tradition of a place has been eroded due the building of new tourist spot. However, i feel that Tourism shouldn’t be the main culprit of  commodifying culture and tradtion, without the government support, all these would not made happen, thus I feel that the government should play a part in conserving culture and tradition before the whole of Taiwan is disneyfied.
