Tourism and Culture
Because of Covid 19 the sphere of tourism is sufferingWith tourism we can allow cultural bridges to be buildPeople can learn other cultures by meeting people and seeing the different sights of the culure they’re exposed to.

What is the reason for the lack of cultural
understanding?
Language barrier

Very little possibility of learning about other cultures in your own country, as it is
not seen as a priority
Vastly different cultures
No way to talk with people from the other culture
Stereotyping

What are the upsides of mutual cultural
understanding?
Being exposed to other culture opens your mind and you start to see things moreclearly

By making friends in other cultures, you can learn language much more easily, bylistening and talking casually
By understanding and accepting cultural differences between nations, you can beexposed to a vast new world of culture

How can we fix the state the tourism is in right now
and build cultural bridges between Russia andJapan?
Online tourism - by using broadcasting programs the goal of online tourism can beachieved - it doesn’t offer as much benefit as regular tourism though, since only
sight and hearing are taking place during it

Online meetings - meetings between Japanese and Russian students allow bothto listen to other people’s opinions and see Japan or Russia through the eyes ofits citizens
Live broadcast about cuisine, history etc. can expose people to culture, and allow
for greater level of interaction

The positive sides of online tourism
The money is not an issue as you can spend very little or nothing at all for theexperience
Handicapped people, or people who don’t have an opportunity to go abroad can
do an online tour as a way of being exposed to the culture, something that they
weren’t able to do before

Elimination of any kind of danger - you don’t get seasick, don’t get food poisoningsand don’t have to adjust to the time difference
