they ordered in the restaurants. Hence, such practices somehow impact the economic practises to

resources such as water and energy. Tourist who visit any specific place consumes the resources
and also waste some natural resources which is important for any country. In instance country

commercialisation in the world with different culture of people.
In regard to the positive impact there are some negative impact also such as loss
in the authenticity. In regard to this to influence the tourism in the economy countries adopted
number of practises which are not suitable according to their believes. For example in Dubai
alcohol is not in their social culture but to influence the tourism around the world the respected
country allowed to sell the liquor in their country for tourist. In the Islamic culture the
consumption of pork is prohibited. But there are large number of strength in Dubai who visit the
the mentioned place every year. Hence in order to attract them towards them as well as fulfil
their requirement the respected country allowed to sell the meat for visitors use. hence all these
traits clearly shows that countries change their culture norms and regulation for influence the
visitors rush in their economy. Somehow it impact the culture as well as decrease the authenticity
