Globalisation and New Tourism - A Sociological Understanding

Authors(1) :-Khushboo

The term "globalisation," widely used today and ingrained in our culture, refers to the pervasive deepening of transnational linkages distinctive to our century. The study explicitly examined the distinct influence of tourism on the developing economy and tried to elucidate the conflicting effects that globalisation has on development. The major causes of the nation's uneven patterns of development. The globalisation trend has impacted all facets of social production and life. By connecting the entire community and enhancing its mobility, tourism has significantly aided in the process of globalisation, suggesting that it is an additional phenomenon. The article explored the fundamental connections between tourism, labour, leisure, and all aspects of daily social life, as well as the shift in sociological emphasis between modern and postmodern society. Current studies of globalisation that have burst into academic and public debate in the last few years have progressively focused their attention on an important side-effect of the phenomena they analyse. That side-effect is the massive surge in international tourism. Globalisation is the process by which communities are brought together as a single, interdependent whole using an ever-growing network of linkages that cross national political boundaries. This process results in a shrinking world in which local differences are quickly undermined and swallowed up within a massive global social order. When considered correctly, tourism may be viewed as both a contributor to and an effect of globalisation. It bolsters the trend toward a convergence that can be seen worldwide. People interact with one another and gain knowledge from one another. Still, goods and services also travel and are distributed worldwide to cater to the requirements and preferences of those on the move. At the same time, as is pointed out in this article, the expansion of tourism occurs more as a response to the demands and requirements brought about by globalisation.
