Socio-cultural Impacts of Contemporary Tourism

Dobrica Jovičić

Abstract

The topic of the paper is devoted to analysis of socio-cultural impacts of tourism, as effects on the people of host communities
resulting from their direct and indirect associations with tourists. The social and cultural impacts of tourism
are the ways in which tourism is contributing to changes in value systems, individual behavior, family structure and relationships,
collective lifestyles, safety levels, moral conduct, traditional ceremonies and community organizations. Special
attention is devoted to considering complexity of tourists/host interrelationships and discussing the techniques for
appraisal of quality and quantity of socio-cultural changes which tourism provokes in local communities.
