how does mass tourism affect local cultures of an area explain with example
Answers
Mass tourism hits tourism hotspots very strongly. It creates the following issues:
an increase in the cost of living
a decrease of the quality of life (people blocking entire areas, leaving trashes…)
the disappearance of the job opportunities outside of the cheap tourism industry
the disappearance of the local shops catering to the locals
the disappearance of a unique culture and of unique know hows
development of a monoculture of tourism of low quality
a high level of air pollution
the destruction of the environment
the endangering of the architectural heritage of the city
and more
All of this can result in local populations leaving their city, in mass. In Venice, Italy, for example 70% of the residents left in the past 70 years.

Answer:
Tourist behaviour can lead to locals feeling that their culture and beliefs are minimised. Tourists bring money which can breathe new life into neglected areas. Local languages might be lost as people prefer to use international languages such as English. Local crafts might be revived to be sold to the tourist market.
