Tourist activity as a means of tolerance development

Today's world is a multicultural universe, which provides space for different religions, nations, cultures and other manifestations of ethnic identity. However, the international situation and political conflicts tearing the world apart generate opposition and rejection of each other's culture by people from different nations. An inordinate number of refugees from the countries involved in military conflicts add and reinforce the process of integration of Orientalism and Occidentalism. However, this convergence faces the opposition between traditional cultures of the peoples and their cultural identity. Accordingly, these trends lead to ra-cial or cultural conflicts. This paper discusses one of the means and capabilities to overcome the opposition of cultures, namely, tourism, which can act as a form of cognitive activity.
