Culture includes the practices of a society, including its material objects, which can be
grouped into three categories: material goods of culture, daily life activities of culture, and
special expressions of culture. The material goods of a culture include its distinctive arts and
crafts. Daily life activities of a culture include its food and dress forms, its language, and its
special ways of playing, living and working. Special expressions of culture are found in a
culture’s unique history, architecture and special traditions.
The list of destinations and attractions that are based on culture is almost infinite. The
cultural resources of a society provide many opportunities to generate tourism revenues.
Often, the society also gains by meeting and sharing with people from other cultures, each
one learning and appreciating the other. But sometimes tourism brings problems to a
culture.
