Abstract
The tourism industry has become the economic reality of central Hunza. This senior year thesis aims to explore the socio-cultural transformation taking place in Central Hunza due to tourism. Additionally, this is an attempt to reveal the risks and consequences of tourism for the local community that are overshadowed by the economic impacts of tourism.
