Title of the paper : Diasporas Effects on Indian Literature: Tourist Preferences Based on Family and Cultural Heritage

Abstract: The influx of money into the local economy, including the tourist and hospitality field, has been noted in the literature as being crucial to diaspora studies. However, it seems that there hasnt been much actual study on the topic, especially from the standpoint of emerging nations. This study looks into how diasporic cultural legacy and family heritage affect the travel preferences of West African Indian migrant visits to their birthplace to fill research gaps. The principle of acculturation is the driving force behind this study. According to the study, migrant tourists preferences for travel to their home country are positively and significantly influenced by their cultural and familial history. Indian Ghanaians and Ghanaian Indians have very different ideas on cultural legacy, according to further analysis of the independent sample t-test. The familial ancestry and preferred method of travel to ones country of origin of Indian Ghanaians and Ghanaian Indians, however, showed no discernible differences. This study focuses on migrant travelers from India. A bigger sample size might be required to generalize the studys findings to other diasporas. Insightful information about cultural history, familial heritage, and travel inclinations is provided by the study to help promote a diaspora tourism website. The study broadens the scope of the theory of acculturations application in the literature on the diaspora and proves that the incorporation and isolation tactics of the theory account for the migrant visitors favorable travel preferences to their home countries.
