To define and understand the types of Domestic

3. Tourism comprises the activities of people travelling to
and staying in places outside their usual environment
for not more than one consecutive year for leisure,
business and other purposes. (Source: World Tourism Organization)
Tourism has proven itself to be the major catalyst for
development in any country.
It has also elevated its role as a major player in other
aspects such as environment protection and
revitalization of culture.
4. Based on the WTO, tourism could be categorized
as:
◦ Domestic Tourism involves trips made by local residents
within their own countries.
Example: A Filipino, who lives in the Philippines, takes a
business trip to Bacolod City.
◦ International Tourism involves trips between 2
countries.
Example: Trips between Hong Kong and Japan.
- Hong Kong as the point of origin/point of destination
6. The Philippines is a perfect
example of how tourism can be
a major player in economic and
social development .
Even in the face of consistent
negative political and economic
events in the past decades , the
industry was able to perpetuate
and become a major business
and employment provider for
many Filipinos.
7. They are tourists who travel
within their own country.
Domestic tourists are ten
times as many as
international tourists ; as a
group spend seven times
the amount spent by the
latter. (Source: World Tourism
Organization)
10. Inter Regional Tourists
◦ Moves from one region to another
Example: From MANILA (NCR) to NEGROS
(NIR)
Intra Regional Tourists
◦ Moves from one province to another within one
specific region
Example: From NEGROS (NCR) to CEBU

beyond 24 hours in his/her destination which is
