Tourism plays a pivotal role in shaping an individual's perception of their own nation's values and culture, particularly when it comes to students who are in the formative stages of their lives. This article explores the content and essence of developing national values in students through tourism. It delves into the educational and experiential aspects of tourism that contribute to the cultivation of a sense of identity, appreciation for cultural diversity, and a deeper understanding of one's own nation. We also discuss the potential benefits and challenges of using tourism as a tool for nurturing national values in students.
