Abstract: Since ancient times, India has been a rich country, especially for their culture and holy activity. Travel has existed since the beginning of time when the primitive man set out, often traversing great distances, in search of a game that provided the food and clothing necessary for his survival. Throughout history, people have traveled for purposes of trade, religious conviction, economic gain, war, migration, and other equally compelling motivations. Nowadays tourism has become a global social and cultural phenomenon as people all over the world move from place to place, increasingly beyond the borders of their own countries. Tourism activities have an impact on the host society. According to Aristotle, ‘Human is a social animal by nature, along with Durkheim’s theory ‘The personality of Human beings is connected to their society’s norms and values, so in the process of tourism society gets affected. This paper aims to find out the socio-cultural impact of tourism on the host community and changes in social life through tourism. It is important to know the consequences of tourism on the ground level, and now it becomes a social phenomenon to study from a sociological perspective. This paper is based on secondary data and it presents a short analysis of this topic.
