This article explores the impact of globalization on tourism, examining how economic, technological, social, and cultural factors have transformed the industry. It highlights the role of transnational corporations, trade blocs, and international markets in increasing accessibility and standardizing services, while also considering the effects of globalization on cultural exchange, lifestyles, and consumer behavior. The article discusses both the opportunities created by globalization—such as growth in international travel, cultural understanding, and economic development—and the challenges it poses, including environmental concerns, cultural homogenization, and unequal distribution of benefits. By analyzing the triggers, processes, and consequences of globalization, the article emphasizes the importance of sustainable and responsible tourism practices. The study provides insights into how globalization shapes modern tourism and the responsibilities of governments, businesses, and travelers in navigating its effects
