Tourism, both a product and an agent of globalization, plays a central role in connecting people, cultures and economies, across borders. Globalization could lead to a standardization of tourists' behavior, all favoring the same places of frequentation and the same uses. This research therefore nourishes the intention to question the globalization of tourism, as a vector of homogenization of practices and representations, in the relation of the study of domestic and international tourism in Bali. Thus, we question the capacity of national cultural singularities to resist, in determining models of tourist practices, in a globalized world. Thereby, our methodology is based on a hybrid approach, combining qualitative and quantitative studies, through the prism of three perspectives: the offer of tour operators, the practices and representations of tourists, and the point of view of Balinese tourist guides. This research demonstrates that cultural singularities persist, and contribute to determining the specificity of places of frequentation, practices and associated values, according to the geocultural origin of vacationers. The globalization of tourism has not led to a homogenization of the frequentation of sites on the island, nor of the uses associated with them. On the contrary, the latter demonstrate great diversity. The globalized attraction of destinations can therefore hide a much more complex reality, relating to a combination of practices and representations, reflecting the socio cultural diversity of populations, which persist.
