Tour escorts accompany groups of people on organized package tours, arranging transportation, accommodations, and sightseeing to provide security and convenience for travelers. While some colleges offer tourism degrees, most escorts learn on the job through companies' intensive training programs. Escorts must have strong communication skills, empathy, a charismatic personality, and the ability to improvise. The work is demanding, sometimes involving 15-25 consecutive weeks without breaks while lifting luggage and keeping travelers happy. Escorts typically earn $9.27-$150 per day depending on tour scope and group size, and may receive tips and free travel.

A Brief Introduction to Dark Tourism In IndiaAquib Sayeed
This PowerPoint Presentation contains A Brief Introduction to Dark Tourism In India with some famous Dark Tourism Places. This slide is sole the property of the maker. No edit in this PPT is allowed.
Tourism involves travel for recreation, leisure, religious or business purposes for a limited time. It can be domestic or international and is a major source of income for many countries. Tourism brings economic, social and environmental benefits through job creation, cultural exchange, and conservation efforts, but must be managed carefully to minimize negative impacts. Some popular tourist spots in Bangladesh include Cox's Bazar beach, Jaflong, Rangamati, Kaptai Lake, Bandarban, the Sundarbans, Ahsan Manzil, and Saint Martin's Island.
This document discusses the key components of tourism geography, including the three main geographical components of the tourism system: places of origin (tourist-generating areas), tourist destinations (receiving areas), and the routes traveled between them. It also examines push and pull factors that influence tourist flows, and different methods used to measure and study tourist movements and trends, including by volume, characteristics, and expenditures. Different forms of tourism are classified by destination, market, and distance traveled.
What is international tourism?
• Tourism is the generic term used to cover both demand and
supply that has been adopted in a variety of forms and used
throughout the world. International tourism essentially
refers to the activities undertaken by visitors, also known
as the visitor economy. The tourism industry encompasses
all activity that takes place within the visitor economy.
• This includes activities that are directly related to the
tourist, such as staying in a hotel, ordering a meal or
visiting a tourist attraction. It also includes indirect
activities, such as the transport company which delivers
the food to the restaurant in which the tourist eats or the
laundry company that has a contract with the hotel for
cleaning bed sheets.
• It is largely due to the indirect contributions to tourism,
that defining and measuring the tourism industry is so
difficult!
International tourism definitions
• Tourism is a phenomenon with no universally accepted
definition, owing to the complexity and individualism of
the travellers themselves and the activities that they
choose to undertake.
• The most widely utilised definition of tourism, proposed
by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and United States
(UN) Nations Statistics Division (1994), prescribes that
in order to qualify as a tourist one must travel and remain
in a place outside of their usual residential environment
for not more than one consecutive year for leisure,
business or other purposes.
• Matheison and Wall (1982) on the other hand, do not impose
a timeframe, simply stating that one must travel to a
destination temporarily.
• Leiper (1979) believed that defining tourism is more
complex than this, proposing that there are three
approaches that can be taken. The economic stance focuses
on tourism as a business, the technical stance focusses on
the tourist in order to provide a common basis by which to
collect data and the holistic stance attempts to include
the entire essence of the subject.
• The Cambridge Dictionary define tourism quite simply as;
‘the business of providing services such as transport,
This document discusses the impacts and significance of tourism. It begins by defining tourism as the movement of people between places, requiring infrastructure like transportation and accommodation. Tourism can have positive and negative economic, socio-cultural, political, and environmental impacts. Economically, tourism generates income and employment but can also increase prices and cause seasonality issues. Socio-culturally, it can foster cultural exchange but also crowd places and change traditions. Politically, it requires stability and policies to develop infrastructure, but instability deters tourists. Environmentally, tourism spurs environmental protection but can damage habitats through overdevelopment and pollution. The document outlines these various impacts in more detail.
This document discusses various types of special tourism services and products that have emerged to meet the evolving needs of travelers. It identifies eco, cultural, rural, adventure, health, new age, and educational tourism as specialized segments that have grown in the leisure market. In the business travel market, it focuses on the MICE industry (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions), and the roles of meeting planners, convention centers, event managers, and convention and visitor bureaus in organizing specialized events.
This document discusses adventure tourism in India. It begins by defining adventure tourism according to the Adventure Travel Trade Association as a trip incorporating at least two of the following three elements: physical activity, natural environment, and cultural immersion.
It then highlights aspects of adventure tourism opportunities in India, noting the country's diverse landscapes and activities available in a single location. Popular adventure activities in India are also outlined, with trekking, wildlife safaris, and water rafting among the most common.
The document concludes by discussing initiatives to promote adventure tourism in India and considerations around regulating the industry to ensure safety standards while protecting natural environments.
The document discusses mountain tourism in India, focusing on the Himalayan region and Western Ghats. It provides details on the major hill stations in these areas, including Srinagar, Gulmarg, Kulu, Manali, and Shimla in the Himalayas as well as Mahabaleshwar, Lonavla, Coorg, Chikmagalur, and Kodaikanal in the Western Ghats.

Some Proposed Models for Successful Community Based TourismRashidul Hasan
Community-based tourism (CBT) refers to tourism activities or enterprises that are owned and managed by the local community. CBT aims to involve local communities in tourism development by giving them ownership and control over projects and retaining a major portion of earnings. It can promote sustainable development by bringing economic benefits to communities while conserving the environment and local culture. The document discusses why CBT is important, providing examples of how communities in countries like Bangladesh can benefit from CBT by developing homestays, restaurants, handicrafts, and other tourism services and products. It outlines steps for communities to assess their tourism potential and successfully implement CBT projects.
Tourism has existed since early humans traveled for survival. Early forms included nomadic travel and trade between civilizations like the Sumerians, Greeks, and Romans who improved infrastructure. Modern tourism developed after innovations like railways and steam power, and increased after World War II with improved air travel. Tourism involves travel for leisure or business, and can be domestic or international. Effective tourism planning considers tourists' needs, coordinates infrastructure development, and mitigates environmental and cultural impacts to benefit local communities and visitors. Barriers to planning include resistance from businesses and difficulties addressing impacts in developing areas.

Tourism planning and development (Introduction)Mike Joseph
The document discusses tourism planning and development. It explains that tourism planning involves coordinating with government agencies and private sector businesses to improve tourism infrastructure and ensure travelers' needs are met. Effective planning provides resources for tourists while allowing destinations and businesses to enhance their tourism offerings. However, a lack of planning can lead to an unorganized industry with decreased profits as planning helps destinations appeal to markets and maximize opportunities.
Rabindranath Tagore was a Bengali polymath who reshaped literature and music in Bengal and India. He wrote many novels, short stories, songs, and poems. His most famous works were Gitanjali and Gora. Through his writings, he addressed topics of nationalism, spirituality, and social issues. He founded Visva-Bharati University to educate Indians and promote international understanding. Tagore was awarded the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first non-European laureate, in recognition of Gitanjali and his work renewing Bengali art by resisting strict forms. His works had a profound impact yet remain more widely known within Bengal than outside of it.
This document discusses tourism planning. Some key points:
- Tourism planning seeks to integrate social, economic, political, and environmental factors related to tourism development and management. It involves planning at multiple levels from individual businesses to national governments.
