Promoting Cultural Connotation of Tourism by Protecting Language Diversity

摘要

The strategic value of cultural resources has now risen to the national strategy level. Languages are not only important cultural resources, but also part of non-material cultural resources. They play an important role in passing on human civilization and maintaining cultural diversity. However, with the integration of scattered ethnic groups into the national and global cultural system, the varied and abundant language ecology has been damaged, which has or will bring about the extinction of non-dominant languages. This paper is intended to appeal for the country's legislation, the society's propelling and the citizens' consciousness in protecting their languages. The diversity of languages is also a special cultural resource for tourism and requires researching, excavating, sorting out and protecting.
