Tourism, Global Human Mobility and Acculturation

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the concept of acculturation originating from globalization and global human mobility has been evaluated, especially within the framework of the social anthropology discipline. By emphasizing the definition and history of the concept of acculturation, the relationship between the concept and anthropology has been tried to be explained. Moreover, The phenomenon of acculturation in terms of immigration and immigrants is discussed, and examples of acculturation that occur due to human cultural contact in tourism and travel organizations in various geographies are given. Again, within the acculturation framework, the concepts of assimilation, voluntary assimilation, syncretism, ethnic identity, and culture shock were also discussed, and human relations and social behaviors that emerged due to acculturation were reviewed. In recent years, studies on understanding acculturation processes in a scientific sense have also made great strides. Most of the research on acculturation to date has prioritized the attitudes and preferences of minority groups. Adaptation of minorities to dominant cultures, interculturality, multiculturalism, social diversity, and the ethnic difference has recently had an important place in social studies. As a result of the contact of societies or cultures, acculturation phenomenon or cultural change can occur either in a culture or in each culture that comes into contact. And generally, after acculturation processes, individuals’ behavior, attitude, cognition, personality, language, relationship, and cultural orientation may be affected, and changed or syncretic structures may occur.
