Issue Date: | 2013 | Source: | Henderson, J. C. (2013). Ethnic cultures, globalization, and tourism: Eurasians in Singapore. Tourism Culture & Communication, 13(2), 67-77. | Series/Report no.: | Tourism Culture & Communication | Abstract: | The subject of the article is ethnic groups and the manner in which their cultures are presented as tourist attractions, a topic explored within the wider framework of the debate about the relationship between the forces of localization and globalization. Specific reference is made to conditions in Singapore and its minority community of Eurasians who tend to be overlooked in comparison to the three main races of Chinese, Malays, and Indians. Globalization and international tourism, the latter a cause and consequence of the former, are seen to have the capacity to both threaten and help safeguard ethnic cultures. Eurasians receive comparatively little attention in destination promotion and this is indicative of the small size of the population and the hybrid nature of the culture. However, they merit attention as an interesting indigenous culture that embodies local distinctiveness. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/105926 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/26117 |
