Tourism, a Culprit in Commodifying Cultures and Traditions?

I would agree that tourism is a culprit of commodifying cultures and traditions as tourism exposes tourists to the cultures and traditions of Africa. Through their experiences, they will spread on what they have seen to others and may cause a rise in visits through these means. With growing exposure of cultures and traditions, curious tourists will travel to experience it for themselves, with this increase, it may actually cause a lost of culture and tradition through destruction of habitat or westernization.

In conclusion, we can only keep the cultures and traditions of others going by our own actions. We have to practice responsible tourism so as to protect what is important.
