Holidays with a difference
Tribal tourism is becoming more popular. But at what cost to the locals?
Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote destinations,
staying with local people and learning about their culture and way of life. They stay in local
accommodation, share facilities with local people, and join in with meals and celebrations. At the
moment, less than one percent of holidays are tribal tourism holidays, but this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign exchange
involves staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes visitors to places
where the lifestyle is very different from that in their home location. Those who have been on a
tribal holiday explain that experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction. They say that it offers
them the chance to live in a way they never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided. The
argument is about whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits them. The
main problem is that, because tribal tourism is relatively new, the long-term effects on local
populations have not been studied in much detail. Where studies have been carried out, the effects
have been found to be negative.
Travel writer lan Coleman recalls a recent trip to Guatemala, where he saw an example of this.
"There is a village with a statue of a man called Maximon, who has a special spiritual meaning for
the local tribe," he explains. "The statue is kept indoors, and once a year the locals bring him out
and carry him around the village. However, visitors now pay money for them to bring the statue out
and carry it around, while they take photographs. As a result, Maximon has lost his original
meaning, and is now just another tourist attraction."
