Cross-Cultural Communication Between Foreign Tourists And Local Residents In Bukit Lawang
Keywords:
cross-cultural communication, bukit Lawang, foreign tourists, local residentsAbstract
In the Bukit Lawang tourist area, North Sumatra, local residents and foreign tourists communicate with each other. Often, foreign tourists only stay a few days after returning to their country, then return to this place and stay for a long time. The economic prosperity of local communities is enhanced by the arrival of foreign tourists. However, the foreign culture brought by foreign tourists sometimes causes problems for society. Tourists who settle in new places tend to experience culture or culture shock. This study was conducted using qualitative methods through in-depth interviews. The research results show that differences in culture, language and daily habits are the main obstacles in interactions between residents and foreign tourists. Tourists need to use language and effective communication to overcome cultural differences.
