Abstract
This study describes the multi-dimensional cultural impacts of tourism development in Zhuhai. In terms of material, behavioural and spiritual cultural changes, the results reveal the factors and causes of local cultural vicissitudes through a survey of local residents and interviews with stakeholders from the government, practitioners and the locals. Based on Pierre Bourdieu's cultural vicissitudes theory, the study proposes a conceptual framework in order to explain the relationship between political power, tourism development, foreign cultural break-in and local cultural changes. The framework was modified based on the empirical results in Zhuhai. A number of recommendations for cultural preservation and tourism development are provided in response to the observed roles, power and resource allocation among social groups.
