Current age is the age of globalization. An age in which the conceptual and semantic frameworks has immersed, compacted, and materialized human beings in the same texture. Hypermedia systems has turned knowledge into a wall-to-wall neighbor and cognitive geography has made people closer together. The world has gotten rid of scattering and dispersion, and the global village or meta-geographical virtual world has been realized so that virtual reality is more effective and influential in the development process than the reality itself. Globalization has a direct relationship with tourism, in other words, tourism is considered as one of positive aspects of globalization emphasizing the local attractions. This wonderful industry is one of factors facilitating the globalization and acts as one of internal flows of global economy alongside the flow of capital from the center to the periphery.
