Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote
destinations, staying with local people and learning about their culture and way of life.
They stay in local accommodation, share facilities with local people, and join in with meals
and celebrations. At the moment, less than one percent of holidays are tribal tourism
holidays, but this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign exchange
involves staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes visitors
to places where the lifestyle is very different from that in their home location. Those who
have been on tribal holiday explain that experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction.
They say that it offers them the chance to live in a way they never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided.
The argument is about whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits
them. The main problem is that, because tribal tourism is relatively new, the long-term
influences on local
tions have not been studied in much detail. Where studies have been carried out the effects
have been found to be negative.
So, is it possible to experience an exotic culture without harming it in some way? "With a of
thought, we can maximise the positive influences and minimise the negative", says tra
company director Hilary Waterhouse. “The most important thing for a tribal tourist is to
show respect for, learn about, and be aware of, local customs and traditions. Always
remember you'r a guest."

The word "grandparents" is descriptive of the unique dual parenting role that this
generation assume. It emphasizes the vital part they play in family life. Within a wealth of
old world experience behind them, and with the unique ability to metamorphose from
advisers Of mediators into listeners or friends, they can offer support and stability in an
ever-changing world.
The underlying sense of responsibility that goes with this is tremendous. Grandparents
perform a balancing act between the needs of their adult children and those of their
grandchildren. This role is varied. It is imperial at times, muted at others. It goes
underground whenever required, but it is solid and absolutely dependable.
Grandparents often bridge the gap between parents and children. Rebellious, independe
children who are trying to find their feet are almost always at loggerheads with their
paren The role of grandparents can be very important provided that they act as impartial
judges a are able to convey this feeling to both parties. Grandchildren, in most cases, prefer
to listen their grandparents rather than their parents, who often end up fighting
themselves up against a brick wall.
One important thing, which seems to be missing in the lives of children today, is a sense
family, values, beliefs and principles. This is where the grandparents step in. However,
instilling beliefs and values is not as easy as it was fifty or sixty years ago. Then, no
questions were as and there was an implicit sense of trust. With changing times and
changing outlooks, children have started to question the validity off everything around
them. Globalisation has gradually oded children sense of belonging and weakened their
identification with their roots.com and technology force them to doubt every traditional
belief.
Parents, who have so many demands on their time, are perhaps not in the best position to
instill traditional values in their offspring. Children are very demanding and grandparents,
without appearing to be pushy, have both the time and experience to deal with tantrums.
They can appease, soothe and impart values with tremendous ease. Any nation's traditional
culture i rich and varied, but how many children recognize this? Grandparents can teach
them to value cultural traditions and thereby inform their moral development.
