Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Tourism, brings together many people from different cultures, societies and groups. The aforementioned people have differences in many aspects from eating and drinking habits to dressing preferences, from their sense of humor to their ethnicity, from their lifestyle to their perspective on life. While these differences create the specificity and characteristics of a society, culture or group, they also determine the characteristics that distinguish it from different societies, cultures or groups. Ethnocentrism is evaluating different cultures based on one’s own culture. Therefore, from this aspect, it shows that ethnocentrism has a close relationship with tourism in the context of local people, tourists and employees. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to reveal the development of the concept of ethnocentrism in tourism with the method of systematic literature review. For this purpose, 2848 articles obtained from Web of Science, DergiPark and National Thesis Center databases were examined. It was found that studies on ethnocentrism should be conducted by taking social interactions such as local people-tourists, tourists-tourists, tourists-tourism workers into account. The quantity and quality of these interactions vary according to touristic destinations. Therefore, with future studies, to be able to reveal the cultural structure, demographic characteristics of the destinations selected for research and to what extent local people are related to touristic activities; It will help local administrations and stakeholders, who are in charge of planning and realizing tourism activities in the destination, to handle the activities in the region in a healthier way.
