Socio-Cultural Effects of Festivals in Quezon Province

The basic aim of tourism management at a destination-wide scale is to maximize the sector’s economic, socio-cultural, and environmental benefits, while minimizing the associated costs. To meet this objective, destination managers must understand the potential positive and negative impacts of tourism, and the circumstances under which these are most likely to occur. The socio-cultural costs’ section considers its potential socio-cultural costs as expressed through the phenomenon of commodification, the demonstration effect, and the relationship between tourism and crime.
