In recent years the interest in cultural tourism has boomed, emerging as a large growing segment of the tourism industry. In today's global environment the impact of culture must be examined in all its forms and dimensions because it has a significant impact on tourism policy, planning, development, management and marketing. This work deals with a review of some aspects which describes intercultural behaviour in tourism. It's trying to define differences which exist between different social cultures, which are obstacles in their mutual understanding and how they can be used to improve communication in intercultural encounters. This work provides concepts, definitions and cultural components which were interesting in spheres of tourism. Tourism promotes knowledge and understanding of other cultures, thus creating preconditions for improving the tourist experience, which is very important from the tourist aspect, as it can significantly affect the repetition of visitis. Shortly, tourism demands different cultures to understand and value each other.
