In Bali, mass tourism has not destroyed the local culture. Rather, it has brought abundant funds to local artists, whether they be painters, performers or sculpturers. Also, art supply has not been subverted to tourist demand, unlike, say, in parts of Africa where on finding that a particular sculpture is in particular demand, all the village sculpturers start producing just that sculpture, again and again (I exaggerate, but not much). Dances are shortened, of course, and some mass-produced junk from China had found its way to the Kuta shops, but one does not feel that the Balinese have compromised their culture. Not even in this fire dance, newly invented for the tourist market.
