3. What is Tourism?
People travel to do
something which they cannot if
they stay home. The purpose
may include work, play, school,
religion, relationships and others
that may satisfy the traveler’s
need.
However, not all forms of
travel are considered as
Tourism. Tour refers to the
activities of people when they go
through a place in order to see
and learn about it in person.
4. According to UNITED NATION WORLD TOURISM ORGANIZATION(UNWTO) IN
1991 tourism is:
“the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their
usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and
other purposes, except activities remunerated from within the place visited”
5. We can dissect the UNWTO definition through the use of the 5
Wh-question (What, Who, Where, When and Why)
WHAT The activities that the travelers do when they go to a place, such as sightseeing,
swimming, shopping, etc.
WHO Person who travel to and stay in another place.
WHER
E
The place that the traveler goes to or the destination
WHEN The length of stay, from a few minutes to one whole year.
WHY The purpose of travel, which excludes paid work and residence.
6. Using the 5 Wh-question can you tell a story about
this picture?
7. TAKE NOTE:
There is
a limit
time to
tourism
activities
If the visitor stays in a particular destination for more than 1 year, he/she
will no longer be considered a visitor.
If the Traveler stays zero minute or no time at all it is not considered
Tourism
The Traveler must stay and do something in the destination in a particular
period to consider as Tourism.
If the Traveler transit or pass-through it is not considered as a Tourism
activity.
Tourism excludes the travel of people to earn money at the destination and
travel to familiar environments, such as commuting to work or school.
