Features: The book is divided into two main parts. The introduction comprehensively elaborates on the logical premises, objectives, significance, methods, and issues encountered in this research, ultimately clarifying the stance and viewpoints of conducting such research. The main text consists of five chapters, discussing cultural changes in ethnic tourism destinations under globalization, the current state of ethnic tourism destination research, the cultural connotations and impacts of ethnic tourism, specific case analyses of cultural changes in ethnic tourism destinations, and cultural reflections on the development strategies of ethnic tourism destinations. The main arguments are: the modernization of ethnic culture is an unstoppable historical trend; the development of tourism plays the role of an "accelerator" in cultural change; cultural changes in ethnic tourism destinations are divided into two levels: "artistic" change and "modern life" change, both mediated by tourism culture to transform into modern ethnic culture; the cultural strategies proposed are implemented by three groups to facilitate the sustainable development of ethnic tourism destinations in a culturally positive state.
