Multiculturality from tourist aspect

Turizam predstavlja putovanje s ciljem rekreacije, zadovoljstva ili pak posla, a najčešće je ograničenog trajanja. Turizam na svom značaju i važnosti dobiva razvojem industrijalizacije, urbanizacije te tehničko-tehnološkim procesima koji se očituju poboljšanjem društveno ekonomskih sastavnica društva. S ekonomskog aspekta, globalizacija podrazumijeva proces otvaranja i liberalizaciju nacionalnih financijskih tržišta i njihovog stapanja u globalno tržište kapitala, dok se njezina važnost na turizam očituje u pet aspekata, a to su: gospodarstvo, tehnologija, kulturološke značajke, ekologija te politika. Multikulturalnost podrazumijeva bogatstvo i raznolikost kultura u nekom društvu, ali ne na način kojim bi se neka kultura pokušala staviti u podređeni položaj, već na način da su svi ravnopravni. Kulturalna kompetencija predstavlja proces u kojem se pojedinci ili sustavi s poštovanjem odnose prema ljudima svih kultura, jezika, rasa, etničkih pripadnosti, klasa, religija i drugih kriterija različitosti. Način njihovog ponašanja treba ukazivati na vrijednosti i dostojanstvo pojedinca ili skupine bez obzira odakle „vuku korijene“. Multikulturalnost u praksi mora voditi računa o ekonomskim, socijalnim, političkim, radnim, ali i drugim posebnostima s kojima se osobe različitih kultura svakodnevno susreću.Tourism is travelling for recreation, pleasure or job purposes, and it is regularly of limited duration. Tourism gains its meaning and importance by means of industrialization, urbanization and technological processes which manifest themselves in the improvement of socio-economic components of society. From the economic aspect, globalization includes the process of opening and liberalization of national financial markets and their merging into global market of capital, while its importance for tourism manifests itself in the five following aspects: enterprise, technology, cultural characteristics, ecology and politics. Multiculturality implies differences in wealth and culture in a society, although not in a way in which a culture would be put into a subordinate position, but in a way that all of the existing cultures are equal. Cultural competence is a process in which individuals or systems treat people of all cultures, languages, races, ethnical groups, social classes, religions and other criteria for differentiation, with due respect. Their behavior should point to values and dignity of an individual or of a group, regardless of their or its ancestry. Multiculturality must take care of the economic, social, political, job, and other particularities with which persons of different cultures meet every day
