영문 초록

Today globalization is a reality, and it is controversial. The controversy centers around the question; whether it aggravates or mitigates the economic disparity in the world. The global espousal of capitalism and its drive for capitalistic gain has certainly aggravated the disparities in economic activities and opportunities between a few metropolitan centers and many peripheral areas. Tourism in general, and cultural tourism in particular, has the potential to correct this imbalance, by bringing economic activities and opportunities to these peripheral areas. Realization of this potential entails a paradigm shift in tourism industry. The industry has to nurture cultural heritages as viable economic resources for the people who have kept them for generations, and not to exploit as expendable tourist attractions. The industry, therefore must lead the effort for development of social compact among all the local stake-holders, in order to avoid the tragedy of commons for the cultural heritage at issue, and to turn it as effective instrument for their cooperation in enriching our human society.
