Traveling in today's age presents many challenges to tourists. The corona virus pandemic has caused a number of changes in the tourism market. At the beginning of the pandemic, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped. The crisis has brought many changes. Many hotels, restaurants, tourism and complementary businesses had to close their doors and many employees in the tourism sector had to find their sources of subsistence elsewhere. The crisis has shown how vulnerable the tourism market is and many destinations that have not adapted have suffered. Many new tourist trends have emerged from the corona crisis, some of which are targeted according to their own transformations and local experience. The local community of tourist destinations is a very important part of the destination. It represents the authentic culture and way of life that the modern tourist is interested in. Involving the local community in the tourism industry is a logical move that the authorities should incorporate into the overall tourism product of the destination. Tourism has great power in changing and transforming a certain area and its inhabitants. It brings many benefits, but also many harms that, if controlled by a sustainable development plan can degrade the destination and the local community. Transformations also occur at the cultural level. The interaction of the guest and the host leads to a cultural proportion where they learn from each other. Transformation can happen to the guest and the host but both must be willing to accept the same. Through the demonstration effect, guests and hosts imitate each other and accept the beginning of the transformation. Destinations such as Venice, Amsterdam and Berlin have experienced positive and negative transformations over the years. These destinations have noticed their opportunity to restart and have turned to more sustainable tourism that is more focused on the well-being of the local population and the preservation of tradition and cultural authenticity.
