Reflection of Taiwan’s society, culture and tourism

After the research, I realized that Taiwan’s tourism has becomes a social event due to the shared social world, creating an increased likelihood of quality experiences in tourism. Culture impacts tourism. Nowadays the influence of pop music, desire to see new culture, lifestyles and food in Taiwan have created demand for tourism.

On the other hand, tourism also impacts culture. For instance, due to tourist’s demand, commodification, dilution and loss of culture occur. This is especially so in indigenous groups. Tourism impacts society. When there is a tourism demand for culture from indigenous groups, it brings about economic benefits. Unfortunately, the distribution of benefits is unequal and unfair most of the time as they are the minorities. In conclusion, what we need to understand is that “no man is an island”; tourism, culture and society are closely linked and they affect each other.
