Research Abstract

The aim of this project is to investigate the socio-cultural impacts on the developing countries caused by the tourist development. The reseachers of this project have carried out their fieldworks in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Thailand, Nepal, Indonesia, Korea, Fiji, Hawaii, and Australia. These countries and the state have promoted tourist development as government policies and have been inviting international tourists. We have investigated the government policies for the tourist developments and for campaigning for international tourism. It is predicted in the end of 1970's that the tourist industry will be the leading industry in the 21th century. It has already been realized in some developing countries owing to the rapid growth of international tourists from the first world.
We investigated the socio-cultural impacts of tourist development in the selected communities of those countries. We found many aspects of negative impact of tourist development on developing co … More untries. The negative socio-cultural changes caused by tourist development are changes in traditional livelihood, changes in the traditional roles between men and women, changes in the socio-political structure of the community, increased crime and a deviance of norms, increases of conflicts between communities, gulf between rich and poor, changes in the traditional value system of the community, changes in traditional religion, changes in traditional ethnic arts. We also found out the positive impacts of the tourist development in the developing countries. Those are the development of tourist arts, the enhancement of ethnic identity, and community development.
It is predicted that the growth of international tourism in developing contries will be continuing. The alternative tourism or appropriate tourism has been groping in developing countries because the mass tourism has caused negative impacts. In order to create the the alternative tourism or appropriate tourism in developing countries the contiunal investigations on the impacts of tourist developments are needed. This research project should be the beginning of the more systematic and longer study by Japanese anthropologists. Less
