This paper is based on the Tourism Industry. The Tourism industry is among the fastest growing economic activities in the world pumping in vast chunks of revenue. It has created job opportunities in both large and small cultural communities around the globe. As this continues to happen, the impacts tourism has brought in continues to be less understood (Lis, S. (2009). The effects the industry has brought to the nations involved range from economics to socio-cultural benefits and sometimes adverse outcomes to a large extent. The results are felt mainly in the developing countries where mass tourism is practiced. These negative effects are occasionally sustainable and manageable if well handled. This paper seeks to unveil the negative impacts the socio-cultural effects tourism has brought and identifying the areas of sustainability.
Most of the players in the industry view tourism concerning its economic impacts, revenue and taxes collection to be the central driving bearing (Mason 2015). However, there is a broad range of sometimes severe negative impacts tourism has fueled depending on the kind of resources and conditions involved. The socio-cultural consequences of travel to the community have many times threatened to harm the tourism market. When tourism comes to a community, there will always be a gloomy effect on the neighborhood. With the relaxed and free state of the tourists at the destination, a batch of illegal activities manages to lean on and cause problems to people involved. The nature of changes in lifestyle in the local community due to tourist involvement and congestion has been seen to alter most socio-cultural patterns of the locals. Recreational areas such as hotels, clubs, entertainment concerts and beaches have pushed development into the community and forcing alterations in the physical construction of the area.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Difficult to reach universally generalisable conclusions, or to
use same methodology to conduct research in different
destination settings

Editor's Notes
Goffman
Cultural shock refers to the totality of reactions to new people and settings which result in ineffective behaviors. Cultural shock may be experienced by either visitors or their hosts. Cultural hostility is a form of cultural rejection or denial, often associated with anger and aggression. Cultural arrogance is defined as the continued practice of following one’s own cultural rules while disregarding the feelings and perspectives of the host community. Tourist behaviors that breaking known morale, religious or social codes are example of continuing arrogance on the part of the visitors. Displaying superficial local traditions and customs to tourists is a form of cultural arrogance. Designing international hotels in Western styles and showing little respect and appreciation for the local traditions is another example of cultural arrogance Culture change occurs as a result of : evolutionary changes occurring within a society, changes in the way people live, and contact between societies and groups from different cultures (e.g., hosts and visitors).
Economic inequality Many tourists come from societies with different consumption patterns and lifestyles than what is current at the destination, seeking pleasure, spending large amounts of money and sometimes behaving in ways that even they would not accept at home. One effect is that local people that come in contact with these tourists may develop a sort of copying behaviour, as they want to live and behave in the same way. Especially in less developed countries, there is likely to be a growing distinction between the 'haves' and 'have-nots', which may increase social and sometimes ethnic tensions. In resorts in destination countries such as Jamaica, Indonesia or Brazil, tourism employees with annual salaries of US$ 1,500 spend their working hours in close contact with guests whose yearly income is well over US$ 80,000. In many Muslim countries, strict standards exist regarding the appearance and behaviour of Muslim women, who must carefully cover themselves in public. Tourists in these countries often disregard or are unaware of these standards, ignoring the prevalent dress code, appearing half-dressed (by local standards) in revealing shorts, skirts or even bikinis, sunbathing topless at the beach or consuming large quantities of alcohol openly. Besides creating ill-will, this kind of behavior can be an incentive for locals not to respect their own traditions and religion anymore, leading to tensions within the local community. The same types of culture clashes happen in conservative Christian communities in Polynesia, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. In developing countries especially, many jobs occupied by local people in the tourist industry are at a lower level, such as housemaids, waiters, gardeners and other practical work, while higher-paying and more prestigious managerial jobs go to foreigners or "urbanized" nationals. Due to a lack of professional training, as well as to the influence of hotel or restaurant chains at the destination, people with the know-how needed to perform higher level jobs are often recruited from other countries. This may cause friction and irritation and increases the gap between the cultures. Even in cases where tourism "works", in the sense that it improves local economies and the earning power of local individuals, it cannot solve all local social or economic problems. Sometimes it substitutes new problems for old ones.
Cultural diffusion refers to the spread of cultural elements such as ideas, styles, food, religions, technologies, etc., between individuals and groups within a single culture or from one culture to another The effect of culture diffusion is changing local cultural features (dressing, styles, food) and traditions; creating new products, services, and jobs; changing beliefs and ideas and improving the quality of life. Cultural borrowing occurs when two cultures come into contact and borrow each other’s traditions, customs or values. As a result of cultural borrowing in developing countries, the original culture of the host societies becomes weaker (they develop a Western style of society) and the culture of the tourist societies becomes stronger. Cultural drift refers to a temporary and random cultural change. A good example of cultural drift is a temporary change in language; over time, pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling and even grammar can change Acculturation ‘‘results when groups of individuals from different cultures come into continuous first-hand contact, which causes changes in the original cultural patterns of either or both groups. Acculturation ‘‘results when groups of individuals from different cultures come into continuous first-hand contact, which causes changes in the original cultural patterns of either or both groups. Cultural adaptation refers to adaptation of elements of other culture. Hosts need to adapt some elements of tourist culture in order to meet tourists’ needs. Host communities are usually pro-active and adapt to different categories of tourists despite stereotypes . honeymoon stage, hostility stage, integration/ acceptance stage, and home stage assimilation occurs when a person fully adapts mainstream values of a new culture and gives up his/her cultural heritage Conflicts arise because those in contact (individuals or groups) are from different cultures. Culture is a major factor in culture conflict.
