This policy brief stems from how tourist cultures impact communities, specifically in indigenous areas, where culture has inadvertently become part of the tourism industry. The modern ideals for cultural tourism could be seen as an avenue for environmental protection, forging community bonds, and heritage preservation. But certain key steps and measures that are preferably initiated by these communities have to be taken. Tourism in itself is a culture, but it can be reshaped and redesigned to align with community ideals and principles. Community involvement and education play a major role in changing how tourism affects areas and communities, but such requires a reidentification with community identities and ideals.
