The document discusses future trends in global tourism. It notes that tourism is already a global industry, with Asia projected to become the dominant region over the next two decades. An aging population in Europe will also impact tourism, with potential consequences like declining incomes and increased health risks for the elderly. Visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism is presented as a sustainable trend. The effects of climate change on tourism patterns are also addressed, with some regions possibly benefiting from warmer temperatures and a "Mediterranean" climate.

UNWTO Tourism Highlights 2014 . Why Tourism Matters? . Tourism as a long term global sector for development. Main trends 2013-2014 and future. Where do Tourism go towards?
Among the 17 SDGs and 169 associated targets, tourism
is explicitly featured in Goals in this annual report for its capacity to foster economic growth and decent work for all,
promote sustainable consumption and production, and
advance conservation and sustainable development of
aquatic resources. Yet, the sector’s cross-cutting nature
and impact positions it to contribute strongly to attain all
of the Goals. At the highest political level, tourism has
been recognised for its critical contribution to sustainable
development. We have thus a large responsibility to ensure
that this potential is realized and that the continued growth
of the sector benefits people and planet.
Burma’s Re-opening to the World: An Examination of Sustainable Tourism Develo...Wild Asia
Now that Myanmar’s government has recently begun allowing travellers/tourists to freely enter the country, the formerly non-developed tourism industry is quickly becoming a major contributor to the nation’s economy. With these quickly increasing visitor numbers, tourism infrastructure development must focus on steady sustainability if it is to succeed as well as provide substantial benefits and opportunities for the country as a whole. The future of Myanmar’s tourism industry is dependent on sustainability practices and initiatives and therefore, must imitate its neighbor’s positive examples in order to preserve vast natural resources for future generations. Myanmar’s tourism development and future perceptions as an international tourist destination will have great implications for Southeast Asia as a whole, as they quickly become a key player in the regions tourism industry.

This document discusses international tourism. It defines international tourism as travel to another country for non-business purposes that involves an overnight stay. The document then outlines the early history of tourism dating back thousands of years. It also lists some of the cultural, historical and man-made attractions that drive tourism. Finally, it provides some key statistics about the size and growth of the global international tourism industry.
World economic growth between 2010-2030 will increase demand for travel and tourism, especially in China and India. Short trips of 1-3 nights are expected to increase 12% as people have less time but still want new experiences. Destinations need to focus on authenticity, culture, locality and simplicity to appeal to time-poor travelers looking to escape complex modern lives. They also need an innovative social media strategy to engage new generations of travelers.
This document discusses trends that are reshaping tourism, including shareability, usability, creativity, and dreamotion. Shareability refers to how people define themselves by what they share online and the power of collaboration. Usability focuses on easy-to-use options that allow people to pay just for what they need. Creativity explores niche tourism and connecting people. Dreamotion emphasizes slowing down and experiencing local areas through activities like organic farming. The overall message is that tourism is being reshaped to design livable cities and connect visitors through high-quality, customized experiences.

The document discusses the rise of Asia Pacific as a major economic region over the past two decades, driven by shifts to free market economies and increased technology adoption. Major technological advances have enabled unprecedented economic growth and social changes. In the future, teachers must adapt from solely transmitting knowledge to guiding students in learning, as information becomes more widely available from different sources. Lifelong learning models will also need to expand through recognition of prior learning, distance education, and more flexible learning opportunities to accommodate growing populations and their learning needs.

This document discusses trends in global tourism. It explains that tourism is an important contributor to the global economy, generating income and employment. While international tourist arrivals and tourism revenues have seen continued growth, the nature of tourism is changing. Mass tourism is evolving to niche tourism as travelers prefer more customized experiences. Tourism is also shifting from organized group tours to independent travel. Both long and short haul destinations are developing new tourism products to attract different market segments.
Lecture 1 intro to international tourismASU Online
This document provides an overview of the topics that will be covered in the International Tourism course. It will examine global tourism regions, destinations, and the economic, political, social, cultural, and historical factors that influence tourism in each region. The document also defines tourism and related terms, describes the basic dimensions of travel and tourism, outlines the components and sectors of the tourism industry, and traces the history and modern development of mass tourism.
This document discusses the concepts of nation branding and destination branding. It explores the debate around whether countries can be branded in the same way as products. While some argue that branding techniques can directly manipulate a country's image, others assert that a country's reputation is based on its actions, not just communications. The document also provides principles for successful destination branding, including engaging stakeholders, achieving sector balance, intelligence collection, focus, communication, and treating branding as an ongoing process. Ultimately, it argues that branding alone cannot change a nation's image but must be supported by the destination's offerings and coherence across stakeholders.
This document analyzes the political factors influencing tourism in Kenya in the first decade of the 21st century. It examines the relationship between tourism and politics, the role of the Kenyan government in tourism, and how the government's policies and decisions between 2002-2007 and 2008-2012 impacted the tourism industry. It also evaluates how political instability, such as the violence following the 2007 elections, negatively affected tourism in Kenya through decreased security and economic impacts. The conclusion determines that the Kenyan government plays an integral role in tourism development through coordinated policies, but political environments can both directly and indirectly influence the tourism sector.
Tourism is defined as travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The UNWTO defines a tourist as someone traveling outside their usual environment for less than a year for leisure, business, or other purposes. Tourism has grown significantly in recent decades due to factors like increased leisure time, improved transportation infrastructure, and lifestyle changes. There are various types and classifications of tourists based on activities, interests, age, and other demographic factors. Sustainable tourism development aims to meet current economic and travel needs without compromising future generations' ability to do the same.
The document discusses technology trends related to mobile technology, hospitality, online travel behavior, and social media. It notes that mobile phone connections have reached 5 billion worldwide, with half of Americans expected to have a smartphone by Christmas 2011. Augmented reality is being used in airports and tablets/smartphones will be the primary way of accessing and planning travel online in the next 5 years. It also discusses the growth of social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter and their increasing role in travel planning and marketing.
International tourism is a major source of income for many countries. Some of the top countries for tourism include France, the United States, China, Spain, and Italy. These countries attract tens of millions of international visitors annually due to major attractions like Paris, New York City, the Great Wall of China, Barcelona, and Rome. Popular attractions include historic and cultural sites, natural landscapes, amusement parks, and cities with diverse activities. Tourism provides significant economic benefits through employment and foreign income.
Tourism involves temporary travel to destinations outside one's normal environment. It can include domestic travel within a country or international travel between countries. The main elements of tourism include the attractions, amenities and accessibility of destinations, as well as the various services that support travel and accommodation needs. Tourism is an important industry that provides significant economic, social and cultural benefits to communities around the world.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
