What are the demonstration effects of tourists?

Demonstration effect Tourists intervene in the society of the tourist destination with their own consciousness and lifestyle, which causes the ideological change of the residents of the tourist destination and produces various influences. This effect is called demonstration effect. Demonstration effect is the main way that tourism affects the destination society. Young people are most influenced by the demonstration effect, while the older generation of residents are influenced by the external lifestyle to varying degrees, but they still maintain the living habits handed down by their ancestors. Foreign tourists, whether from abroad or at home, are relatively wealthy consumers, full of curiosity and wariness about the reception area. Their unconscious behaviors or high consumption behaviors in different daily lives often have a great psychological impact on local young people, resulting in psychological imbalance. The impact on traditional crafts, the development of tourism has caused changes in the style and form of arts and crafts in tourist destinations, and also changed the original meaning of these arts and crafts. Some handicrafts that were originally full of religious and ceremonial meanings have now become pure commodities. Influence on Traditional Customs Traditional festivals and customs in some ancient towns are often introduced to tourists in advance in the form of entertainment, thus losing their original cultural significance. The commercialization and vulgarization of traditional customs bring "the reality of the stage", and the real "typical" real style either becomes stale or disappears.
