What did tourism contribute on globalization?

Tourism, but even more migration and professional travel, contributed to the formation of certain kinds of potential global communities, defined by common bonds (including globalized cultural productions) across national and cultural lines.

What began to form because of travel, communication and study opportunities?

Given travel, communication, and study opportunities, it was not surprising that a number of transnational communities began to form, with members sharing an identity that might supersede their regional roots.

What continuity from the past was preserved in terms of travel?

A continuity from the past that not only persisted but increased in complexity involved passport and visa regulations.

Why was there more rules regarding passport and visa requirements? How were these rules applied?

- The Cold War prompted many countries to increase requirements for the permissions needed to cross borders.
- Growing terrorism early in the twenty-first century had the same effect in many places.
- Passports were supplemented by fingerprinting and eye scans, and many travelers who fit certain stereotypes were pulled aside for further interrogation.
- The process could be unpleasant and even insulting, and some people stopped traveling to certain destinations in consequence.
