Abstract (150 Words)

As travelers notice that they have adapted their cultural constructs to different international realities, they transform by expanding their worldview and by integrating elements of their experiences when returning to a “blurred home” of new and old meanings. For the purpose of this study, four destination’s attributes have been identified to study their impact on the level of cultural awareness including food, lodging, hospitality employees’ dress code, and tourist activities.
