Research Abstract

This study elucidated what kind of impacts the cultural tourism gives on the economic infrastructure and the cultural identity of the local communities. The cultural tourism provides the opportunities to the"Maasai"people of Kenya to"sell"their"traditional"culture, such as dances, ceremonies, and attires, to the tourists. The study is also to explore the possibility of the role of the cultural tourism as the cultural and economic resources for the local people.
