With therapid development of tourism today, Tuwa people are finally involved in tourism industry. The development of tourismis a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it boosts the revival of Tuwa culture, provides a large number of employmentopportunities and cross-cultural exchanges, and improves material welfare for Tuwa people. On the other hand, somedisadvantages have also resulted from tourism development, such as the unauthentic exhibition of Tuwa culture, limitedtourists, Tuwa group interaction, and limited material improvement for the Tuwa, etc. This paper takes Tuwa people asa case, illustrates the types, characteristics and the conditions for the development of Tuwa culture, explores the advan-tages and disadvantages resulting from the development of folk-custom tourism industry and then puts forwardsrecommendations on the protection for local cultures as follows: (1) attach great importance to Tuwa culture in thetourism development of Kanas Lake Visitor Attraction; (2) construct the aboriginal village with the consciousness ofprotection; (3) remove the Tuwa village; (4) consummate the management mode and let Tuwa people really benefit fromtourism; (5) restrict the grazing in the scenic spots and protect natural grassland; (6) promote Tuwa people’s ability ofself-supervision and self-management; (7) exhibit Tuwa culture authentically.展开更多

The level of cooperation is macro, meso and micro, depending on the nature and strength of the organisation. Intercultural cooperation is carried out by various cultural and educational institutions. Cultural centre is one of very few cultural organisations, having few analogues in other countries, cherishing, preserving and supporting ethnical culture and creating state image through intercultural cooperation. Thus, a scientific issue examined in the article is intercultural cooperation and communication in the activities of various cultural centres, analysing the macro, meso and micro levels. The quantitative research, conducted in eight cultural centres operating in the border areas of Lithuania, Belarus and the Kaliningrad Region （Russia）, i.e. Kybartai, Pagegiai, Svencionys, Lazdijai, Pelesa, RimdZi^nai, Sovetskas and Gusev, helped to identify the intercultural levels of these cultural centres and their communities. Estimating different circumstances of the activity of Lithuanian cultural centres and cultural organisations operating in the Kaliningrad and Belarus border areas （Lithuanian cultural centres/Lithuanian communities）, a comparative analysis revealed the key features of cooperation between the community and the cultural centres/Lithuanian organisations. The study also analysed the patterns of intercultural cooperation.展开更多
