Sociological Aspects of Tourism

Summary/Abstract: One of the most important objects of research within the sociology of tourism is the effect tourism has on the life of individuals and societies involved in and around the process of tourism. Some changes occur in a short period of time. One example would be the building of accommodation facilities which are hoped to be of service to the tourists and to their liking. Even at the very beginning one is able to notice the immediate effect or, in other words, consequence(s) in the society's economy when a newly established construction industry makes its first steps in the forward direction. Consequently, this causes positive growth of employment which later affects the economic and material standard of the population. The situation described here is typical of less developed and more exotic countries and it is precisely because of that that they are favourable for influx of tourists and the development of tourism as a worldwide mega-trend. The behaviour of the local population gradually changes.
