Comment on whether tourism has been a culprit in commodifying cultures and traditions

To a large extent, I strongly agree that tourism has been a culprit in commodifying cultures and traditions. Tourism development causes the local culture to be diluted, resulting in the loss of indigenous identity and values. When tourists travel to Japan, they will bring in their own cultures. As a result of adapting to tourists demands, the locals are influenced by the tourists, which in turn change their value systems and behaviour and thereby threaten the culture of the Japanese indigenous identity.
