Tourism and intercultural understanding or contact hypothesis revisited
There are some indicators that travel may have some cumulative effect on the deeply rooted social attitudes of ethnocentrism and intercultural orientations. Because of the methodological difficulties associated with this problem, it is difficult to determine whether travel was an outcome or a consequence of these attitudes. To ascertain this, it would be necessity to compare those that have not travelled overseas with those that are embarking on their first overseas travel, but this poses some significant challenges in terms of population definition and sample design. In any case, more studies, guided by model proposed in this article, coupled with refinement of the contact measures and enriched through employing a qualitative research design, are needed. Post-trip focus groups or in-depth interviews would enable researchers to obtain better insights into the nature of experiences and their relevance to the impressions formed about people and country visited. Another avenue of further research could also be to compare how well tourist travel facilitates intimate contacts compared to other practices that could be initiated with a country’s multicultural policies to foster intercultural understanding and appreciation.
