Abstract:

Both countries are rich in history and architecture, and are now capitalizing on their traditions for Western tourists.|| This video is part 4 of the 5 part series "ASIA TODAY," which explores the rapid development taking place across Asia, the changing culture and emerging economies of five regions, along with the problems that foreign investment, industrialization, and international tourism are bringing. The series also shows how social change is taking place throughout the region by contrasting traditional and modern practices in small villages and large cities.
