Question 1
(23 marks)
Politics of cultural tourism recognises that different regions and countries of
the world have developed in different ways as a result of their complex
histories and political trajectories. Every country has its own culture, and
some may seem more global or traditional than others. Therefore, sometimes
it's present difficulties for those countries to differentiate themselves and to
promote their uniqueness to visitors whose cultural awareness may be
relatively limited. Some countries are blessed with beautiful scenery, and
some have wonderful architecture or folk cultures. This could mean that it
can be difficult to develop widespread cultural tourism.
