WHY CULTURAL TOURISM WILL BE NO MORE IN 20 YEARS TIME IN AFRICA.

THE MASAI COMMUNITY OF KENYA.


Culture is away of life of people. the customs and beliefs, arts, way of life and social organization of a particular country or group. it is the beliefs and attitude about something that people in a particular group or organization share and appreciates, that is why, a country that has a group of persons without culture or tradition that binds them together ends up in chaos.

As a traveler i have been in almost 27 African nations and what i saw is abandonment of culture as we Africans seek western life which we see as modern not knowing these fading cultures are the only true resources that can and will guide our success in the future, take for example china, they never abandoned their culture rather they guarded it with all their might and now their economies is booming, thanks to their culture which is now gaining global attention, apart from economy, the cultural practices in china has led to inventions of modern medicines, technology, everlasting peace and brotherhood, and also people travel across the globe to go and see the Chinese culture. hope you've had of Chinese restaurants they are all over the world, and i know you've had of shoulin temple either in a movie or in books or even you've visited one.

The African culture, is in crisis of abandonment, bastardization, bankruptcy, lack of appreciation, patronage and preservation. It sits dangerously on a tinderbox as it is now a potential source of widespread of ignorance about ourselves and our identities, very soon, therefore we Africans will only learn about our own cultures in books, journals and films as African's cultural ethos and traditional values have been jettisoned by her elders and her people. A few examples of Africa's culture's afflictions with many tribulations of abandonment, bankruptcy, miss branding as fetish, idolatry, primitive and denigration, will suffice. unless we culturally speaking and seek correct solutions, we are heading to no destination. We must manage our culture if we must progress as a continent and as a people in a continent of civilized nations and people who live in a well ordered, disciplined and morally valuable societies long before the coming of the Europeans.
