| Abstract: | One can view tourism as a socio-cultural subsystem implanted in a particular society and which according to Jafari (1982), promotes the interaction of three cultures: the local culture, the tourist culture and the imported culture. This paper discusses the role of tourist guides in social mediation and cultural brokerage. Examples from the local scene are also given by the author to show the manipulative power tourist guides can wield. |
