The interconnection between tourism and culture plays an important role in modern society.Cultural heritage and traditions are key factors that draw in tourists, while tourism brings economic benefits, global recognition, and chances to maintain these cultures. However, too much tourism and commercialization can damage the authentic traits of culture. This article looks at how tourism and culture interact, noting both their good and bad sides, along with strategies for sustainable growth. Additionally, the study explores how balanced tourism and cultural development can improve the economic and social well-being of local communities. The findings offer practical suggestions for creating tourism policies and strategies to protect cultural heritage.
