Identify the main social impacts of tourism.

Tourism can have a significant impact on the society of a
country or an area that makes tourism its main industry.  This is especially true if the
basis of tourism is showing tourists something
"exotic."

All tourism has an impact on a society.  It can
lead to resentment between the local people and the tourists.  The locals often come to
resent the tourists because all of the businesses of the area seem to cater to the
tourists and because the tourists can come to treat the locals like specimens in a
zoo.

Tourism that offers exotic experiences (as opposed,
say, to going to Disneyland or a museum) has even more of an impact.  In this kind of
tourism, the destination is expected to cater to the stereotypes that the tourists
have.  This forces the locals to, for example, perform "native" dances or such for the
tourists.  This may help influence a society to retain various traditional ways of life
instead of changing to more modern ways.
