Abstract

Tourism is one of the quickest growth sectors in the world economy . The local economy has always benefited from tourism, as have the sociocultural shifts and lifestyles of those who live in popular tourist locations. However, the development of local destinations is influenced by socio-cultural factors. In order to support more effective policymaking, this study makes an argument and identifies important sociocultural circumstances within a larger societal context. The purpose of this study is to investigate how tourism affects the host community's sociocultural shifts, way of life, and local economy in and around this popular tourist attraction. SPSS has been used to evaluate the gathered data and determine the empirical findings of the investigation. According to the findings, there are notable advantages for the host society in terms of sociocultural context.
