González AB - This short communication seeks to examine the relationship between existential intangible tourism and the innate tendencies of a social identity. Social identity includes innate tendencies but Globalization fosters a developing process where these innate identity tendencies are undervalued. As a result, these innate tendencies are better represented in some still alive traditions. This existential authenticity is predominant in developing countries, as developed ones follow a homogenization process due to globalization. Accordingly, there is an increasing existential intangible heritage tourism from developed countries to developing ones searching to enhance their innate identity tendencies. Therefore rises a cosmopolitan identity as a multidimensional identity. In this short communication Japanese Flamenco tourism is used to shed light on the theme in general. © 2011 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. C2 - Soc. Identity N1 - Journal Abbreviation: Soc.
