Although global mobility and tourism make people more familiar with other
cultures, create jobs and a higher demand for local products, and encourage
investment in new areas, they also have negative effects. Tourism is an industry
run by powerful nations and their multinational corporations, which are not
always concerned about community development. Besides, a great number of
tourists are from developed countries and expect services similar to those they Dictionary
