The document discusses the impacts of tourism on developing economies. It begins with an introduction stating that while tourism provides economic benefits, it can also have environmental, social, and cultural impacts if not properly managed. It then provides details on the various impacts under sections on environment (1.1.1), sociocultural (1.1.2), and economic (1.1.3). Specific examples of impacts in Thailand (2.3) and India (2.4) are also discussed.
Tourism is a major source of income for many countries and has experienced continued growth over decades to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors. It accounts for 30% of the world's trade of services and 6% of overall exports. Tourism benefits sectors like transportation, hospitality, and entertainment by creating opportunities for employment. It was recognized in 1980 as an activity essential to life for many nations due to its effects on social, cultural, economic and international relations. International tourist arrivals grew from over 996 million in 2011 to 1.035 billion in 2012, recovering after declines during the recession.
This document discusses the economic impacts of tourism on local economies and communities. Tourism can provide significant economic benefits through increased sales, income, jobs and tax revenue. However, it also poses risks like seasonal fluctuations, price increases that hurt local residents, and overreliance on the tourism industry that makes economies vulnerable to downturns. Tourism development requires substantial infrastructure investments that divert funds from other community needs. While tourism opens opportunities for economic growth, its impacts must be carefully managed to ensure benefits are shared locally.
The document discusses the economic impacts of tourism, including both positive and negative impacts. It notes that tourism can generate income, employment opportunities, foreign exchange earnings and GDP growth for host countries. However, it also notes potential negative impacts such as leakage of spending out of the local economy, displacement of local residents, seasonal unemployment and overreliance on the tourism industry. The document provides examples of these impacts and explains concepts like the multiplier effect in tourism spending.
Tourism and its economic benefits and costs.THOMAS MAGWANE
Tourism provides both economic benefits and costs to local economies. It brings in foreign investment and exchange which can be used to improve local infrastructure and conserve natural environments. However, it can also cause inflation, opportunity costs as other industries are abandoned, and seasonality issues for tourism-dependent areas. While tourism provides employment and revenue, it also faces costs like leakage of money outside the local economy. On balance, the document discusses both the positive and negative economic impacts of tourism on local communities.
Tourism plays an important role in the economic development of many countries. As incomes rise in developed nations, the demand for international travel also increases, providing opportunities for developing countries to earn much-needed foreign exchange. The economics of tourism includes both the direct effects of tourist spending as well as secondary effects as that money circulates through the local economy. While tourism brings revenue and jobs to host destinations, it can also cause economic instability and other undesirable impacts. Countries aim to maximize tourism's economic benefits through strategies like balanced growth, import substitution, incentives, and foreign exchange management.
The document discusses the economic impacts of tourism on both host countries and tourist destinations. It outlines several positive economic impacts such as foreign exchange earnings, government revenues, employment generation, and contributions to local economies. However, it also notes some negative impacts like leakage of tourism revenue out of the local economy, enclave tourism developments, high infrastructure costs, price increases in local areas, and economic dependence on the seasonal tourism industry. International tourism is one of the world's largest economic sectors, generating over US$852 billion in 2009.
The document discusses various methodologies for measuring tourism's contribution to economic growth, including cointegration and Granger causality tests, cross-section analysis, dynamic panel data analysis, Cobb-Douglas production functions, and computable general equilibrium models. It also examines proxy variables used to measure tourism development and the growth decomposition methodology. Empirical results are presented on tourism's contribution to economic growth by region from 2006 to 2010. Finally, factors that can influence tourism's impact on growth are explored, along with regression results from a model of these factors.
The document discusses various methods for measuring the economic impact of tourism, including multiplier models, input-output models, and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. It provides examples of multiplier values and describes weaknesses in multiplier modeling including restrictive assumptions and data deficiencies. Input-output models are outlined as being able to measure direct, indirect, and induced effects but require significant data. CGE models are presented as potentially more dynamic but also with high data demands.

This document discusses different types of tourism and their economic impacts. It defines inbound and outbound tourism for both international and domestic tourism. It then explains some of tourism's key economic effects, including generating income through wages, taxes, and business profits; creating employment opportunities both directly and indirectly; stimulating a multiplier effect through re-spending of tourism dollars in the local economy; and contributing positively to a country's balance of payments by bringing in foreign currency from international visitors. It notes that tourism is a major income generator for many countries and regions.
Differentiate the difference among direct, indirect, induced, and dynamic impacts of tourism on the economy;Identify the positive and negative impacts of tourism on the economy.
Tourism can have both positive and negative economic impacts on host countries. Positively, it generates foreign exchange earnings, contributes to government revenues through taxes, creates employment opportunities both directly and indirectly, stimulates investment in infrastructure that benefits local communities, and contributes to local economies. However, it also causes leakage when profits flow out of the local economy, enables enclave tourism that does not benefit local businesses, increases infrastructure costs for governments, raises prices for local residents, risks economic dependence on the tourism industry, and creates seasonal jobs. The economic impacts are complex and countries must manage tourism development carefully.
Economics impacts of tourism by lalit rava Lalit Rava
Tourism has significant economic impacts on a country. It generates income both directly from tourist spending and indirectly through the multiplier effect of money circulating in the local economy. Tourism also creates jobs, both directly in the tourism industry and indirectly in other sectors that support it. It can help a country's balance of payments by bringing in foreign currency. The government earns tax revenue from tourism. Tourism also leads to investment and development in destinations as their economies grow. However, there are also negative impacts like leakage of money out of the local economy if imports and profits leave the area. Poor countries often do not benefit as much from tourism relatively due to issues like enclave tourism.
Globalization and tourism have significant economic impacts both positive and negative. Tourism generates substantial foreign exchange earnings and tax revenues for many countries. However, it also results in leakage of money spent outside the local economy through imports and profits leaving the country. Many places become overly dependent on tourism, and seasonal jobs in the industry lack stability. Both developing and developed countries experience economic benefits and drawbacks from international tourism.
Political instability can significantly impact tourism. The document discusses how war, coups, terrorism and civil unrest can negatively influence tourists' perception of risk at a destination through media coverage. This leads to decreases in tourist arrivals, revenues, and related economic benefits. Examples from countries like China, Fiji, Mexico, Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and North/South Korea demonstrate tourism declines caused by these political events. The conclusion calls for tourism education to incorporate more discussion of international politics and its effects.
The document discusses the economic impacts and contributions of tourism in three main areas:
1) Direct effects from tourist spending on goods and services that benefit industries like accommodation, food, retail and transportation.
2) Indirect effects through investments and supply chain spending that support non-tourism sectors such as farms, utilities and schools.
3) Induced effects from employee spending on items like food, recreation and housing, which circulate tourism dollars through the local economy.
The document analyzes factors that affect the size of tourism's economic multiplier and strategies to maximize its benefits and minimize leakages outside the local area.
Tourism plays an important economic role globally and domestically. Internationally, tourism accounted for 6.1% of global GDP and 6.8% of global employment in 1994. Domestically, countries are increasingly promoting domestic tourism to stimulate local economies. Different types of tourism include medical tourism, shopping tourism, business tourism, religious tourism, and entertainment tourism. Each type can provide economic benefits such as increased employment, foreign exchange earnings, and business opportunities. However, rapid tourism growth has also led to some negative social, cultural, and environmental impacts. Overall, tourism is considered an important industry that contributes significantly to economic development through job creation, diversification of economies, and stimulation of other interconnected industries.
The document discusses the positive and negative economic impacts of tourism. The positive impacts include foreign exchange earnings, contributions to government revenues through taxes, employment generation, infrastructure investment from tourism development, and contributions to local economies. However, the negative impacts are leakage of foreign currency out of the local economy, enclave tourism that does not benefit local businesses, high costs of infrastructure, increased prices, economic dependence on the tourism industry, and seasonal jobs insecurity.
Sustainable Tourism Development Moving Beyond Environmental ProtectionWanshah Design
This document discusses sustainable tourism development and proposes a new approach that gives greater priority to community participation and poverty reduction, rather than just environmental protection. It notes that while international tourism provides significant economic benefits, it can also negatively impact the environment. The international community has worked to promote sustainable tourism, and concepts like ecotourism and pro-poor tourism aim to reduce environmental impacts while benefiting local communities and reducing poverty. The document argues for placing more emphasis on pro-poor tourism approaches at national and international levels.
Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.
This document discusses the socio-cultural impacts of tourism. It begins by defining key cultural concepts like sociology of culture, tourist culture, and elements of culture. It then examines some relevant cultural concepts like emotionology, orientalism, ethnocentrism, and xenophobia. The document outlines some negative socio-cultural impacts of tourism such as commodification, standardization, loss of authenticity, adaptation to tourist demands, and culture clashes. It also discusses how tourism can cause changes or losses to local identity and values.
Tourism is a major industry that generates income for many countries. The document discusses how developing countries are promoting tourism through campaigns and visas to attract more tourists. It provides examples of how tourism benefits India by creating jobs, increasing income, and improving local economies. A case study of Kerala shows how a tourism project employed many people and increased a farmer's income through tourist visits to his spice farm. The conclusion states that India's "Incredible India" campaign has been successful in promoting tourism and generating significant income and jobs for the country.
The document discusses several key perspectives on the impacts of tourism. It outlines both the economic advantages and disadvantages of tourism. The advantages include foreign investment and employment opportunities for local communities. However, tourism can also cause issues like seasonal unemployment, income leakage from the local economy, and overreliance on the tourism industry. The document provides an overview of different economic factors to consider regarding tourism's impacts on a destination.
Global tourism has increased over the past 50 years due to various social, economic, and political factors. Socially, people have more leisure time from increased paid holidays and shorter work weeks. Economically, greater wealth and developments in transportation like budget airlines have made travel more accessible. Politically, lifted travel restrictions and easier visa policies have opened more countries to tourism. Tourism is now the world's largest industry and is still growing.
Tourism can be seen as one of the key industries in world as it contributes more than 10% in global economic output along with one out of ten jobs, (WTTC, n.d). This statement of World Travel & Tourism Council indicates the importance of tourism industry in world economy. In current scenario world tourism industry is booming and so as in Britain. It is the key competitor for this industry and rated 7th in the world for number of visitors as well as their spending.
This report will provide the understanding of the environment under which this industry operates. This report includes the study of history and structure of travel and tourism, national policies about this sector and effect of changes in policies. This study also includes impacts of industry developments as well as effects of supply and demand.
This document summarizes tourism in Africa and its potential for economic growth. It finds that tourism currently contributes over $36 billion to Africa's GDP and is responsible for millions of jobs. However, Africa faces constraints like inadequate air and road transport that hamper tourism. If these constraints are addressed, tourism could be a significant driver of economic development across Africa by harnessing the region's natural and cultural assets. The document outlines opportunities and constraints to expanding Africa's tourism industry.
This document discusses the economic impacts of tourism. It covers positive impacts like income, employment, and tax revenue generation. It also discusses negative impacts like cost inflation. The magnitude of economic impacts depends on factors like expenditure volume, development level, and how much spending recirculates locally. Tourism can benefit balances of payments. There are direct, indirect, and induced economic effects. Input-output analysis and tourism satellite accounts are used to measure these impacts. Employment impacts are also measured in various ways.
Cross border potentials to develop women entrepreneurshipali lacej
The document discusses developing women's entrepreneurship in tourism across borders. It recommends establishing a resource center for women in tourism and entrepreneurship to advocate for women, provide training programs and business support, and develop networks for women in business. Tourism is described as an important global industry that brings economic and social benefits but can also negatively impact the environment if not managed properly. Key components of the tourism industry and best practices are outlined.

International Organisations And Development Of TourismPatricia Johnson
The document discusses the attitudes of residents in Port Royal, Jamaica toward development in their area. Port Royal was once the largest city in the Caribbean but is now a small village. The purpose of the study is to examine why residents are reluctant to develop the area, which was once the center of shipping and commerce. Given tourism's growing economic importance, developing countries should consider how global trends may impact tourism flows and their economies. Factors like technological changes, demographics, manufacturing shifts, and environmental and political risks could dramatically change tourism patterns.
Rural tourism is growing in importance worldwide. It provides economic opportunities for rural communities while allowing visitors to experience rural lifestyles and activities. The document discusses definitions of rural tourism and examples from around the world. Top rural tourism destinations include Ontario, Canada known for agri-tours of farms and Dunedin, New Zealand for its scenic landscape and proximity to wildlife. Rural tourism is beneficial as it generates income for rural areas and encourages preservation of local culture and environment.
High-Level Thematic Event on Tourism - SUSTAINABILITY WEEK 2024- United Natio...Christina Parmionova
According to the UN Tourism, measuring the sustainability of tourism will improve policy action for sustainable development, and promote one common statistical language, which can be compared across countries and economic sectors, as well as ensure tourism is factored into national and international development frameworks. The Statistical Framework for Measuring Sustainability of Tourism (SF-MST), the sustainability indicators, form the foundation of a global approach towards evidence-based policies of sustainability of the global tourism sector.
This document discusses several factors that influence the development of tourism, including historical and cultural factors, religious factors, socio-economic factors, demographic factors, political factors, environmental factors, and technological factors. It provides examples for each factor and explains how they can positively or negatively impact tourism development and travel patterns. Historical sites, cultural heritage, and religious destinations are some of the main attractions that draw tourists, while economic prosperity, demographic trends, political stability, and advancements in transportation and technology have also significantly influenced tourism growth over time. Environmental issues and disease outbreaks can potentially deter tourists in some areas.
This document discusses the importance and growth of the global tourism industry. It notes that tourism has grown significantly since the 1950s, with international tourist arrivals increasing from 25 million in 1950 to over 1.4 billion in 2018. Tourism is now one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors worldwide. It benefits local economies by creating jobs, boosting industries, and driving infrastructure development. Countries have increasingly competed to attract more tourists and become competitive tourism destinations. France currently receives the most international tourists of any country.
Supporting jobs and economies through travel & tourismHarsha MV
The document provides recommendations to mitigate the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on travel and tourism. It is divided into three sections: I) Managing the Crisis and Mitigating Impact, which recommends incentives to retain jobs, support companies' liquidity, review taxes and regulations impacting tourism, and ensure consumer protection; II) Providing Stimulus and Accelerating Recovery through financial support, advancing travel, boosting marketing; and III) Preparing for Tomorrow such as diversifying markets, investing in skills, and ensuring tourism is part of emergency response systems. The overarching goals are to sustain jobs and livelihoods in the sector and ensure its recovery drives wider economic and social recovery from the pandemic.
The document discusses the cultural impacts of tourism development. While tourism can negatively impact local cultures by imposing foreign values, many socio-cultural changes are also due to other modernization factors like trade and migration. The relationship between tourism development and social/cultural changes is complex, as tourism can have both negative and positive effects. It influences value systems, traditions, behaviors, and lifestyles in communities, though the impacts are difficult to precisely measure.
Tourism industry effect on southeast asia countries economic developmentLionRajsajeevanVickn
The document discusses how the tourism industry impacts the economic development of Southeast Asian countries. It notes that tourism has become a key economic activity and driver of growth in the region. The tourism industry provides foreign exchange earnings and jobs. It benefits economies at both the national level through exports and government revenue, and at the local level through income, employment, and regional development. While tourism offers economic advantages, it also poses environmental and social challenges that must be managed sustainably. The document then examines the tourism industry and its economic impact in specific Southeast Asian countries like Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Singapore.

As more locales and nations create their tourism industry, it creates huge effects on regular
assets, utilization examples, contamination and social frameworks. (Sustainable Tourism,
4. 2002)The requirement for feasible/mindful arranging and administration is basic for the
business to get by in general. (Sustainable Tourism, 2002)
Tourism is one of the world's quickest developing commercial ventures and is a real
wellspring of income for some nations. Being an individual’s arranged industry, tourism
likewise gives numerous occupations which have helped revitalize neighbourhood
economies. (Fien et al, n.d)
On the other hand, in the same way as different manifestations of improvement, tourism can

tourism has driven numerous individuals to look for more dependable occasions. (Fien et al,
n.d)These incorporate different manifestations of option or manageable tourism, for example,
'nature-based tourism', "ecotourism" and 'social tourism'. Economical tourism is getting to be

in 10 years. (Fien et al, n.d)
All tourism exercises of whatever inspiration – occasions, business travel, meetings, endeavor
travel and ecotourism – need to be manageable. Manageable tourism is characterized as
"tourism that regards both neighborhood individuals and the explorer, social legacy and
nature". It looks to furnish individuals with an energizing and instructive occasion that is
additionally of profit to the populace of the host nation. (Fien et al, n.d)

critical wellsprings of monetary results and occupation. On the other hand, tourism is an
extremely intricate industry including various stakeholders (now and again with inverse
investments) and obliging huge measure of assets. Thusly, tourism can have inverse impacts
as per the way exercises are overseen. Overseen well, tourism can assume a positive part in
the socio, social, conservative, natural and political advancement of the end of the line and
accordingly speaks to a critical improvement opportunity for some nations and groups.
Actually, unchecked tourism advancement can prompt exceptionally damageable effects.

Economic
Environmental
Socio Cultural
6. The nature of the earth, both natural as well as man-made, is vital to tourism. Be that as it
may, tourism's association with the earth is unpredictable. It includes numerous exercises that
can have unfavorable ecological impacts. A hefty portion of these effects are connected with
the development of general framework, for example, streets and air terminals, and of tourism
offices, including resorts, lodgings, restaurants, shops, fairways and marinas. The negative
effects of tourism advancement can continuously decimate the natural assets on which it
depends.
Then again, tourism can possibly make valuable consequences for nature by helping natural
security and preservation. It is an approach to bring issues to light of ecological qualities and
it can serve as a device to fund assurance of characteristic regions and expand their financial
significance.
7. 1.1.2 SOCIAL AND CULTURAL IMPACTS:

immediate and aberrant relations with voyagers, and of collaboration with the tourism
business. For a mixture of reasons, host groups regularly are the weaker party in co-
operations with their visitors and administration suppliers, leveraging any impact they may
have. These impacts are not generally evident, as they are hard to quantify, rely on upon
worth judgments and are regularly circuitous or hard to recognize.
The effects emerge when tourism achieves changes in quality frameworks and conduct and
subsequently debilitates indigenous character. Moreover, changes frequently happen in group
structure, family connections, aggregate customary ways of life, functions and profound
8. quality. Yet tourism can likewise produce positive effects as it can serve as a strong power
for peace, foster pride in social conventions and help evade urban migration by making
nearby employments. As regularly happens when distinctive societies meet, socio-social
effects are vague: the same impartially depicted effects are seen as useful by a few
gatherings, and are seen as negative - or as having negative angles - by different stakeholders.
1.1.3 ECONOMIC IMPACTS:
The tourism business creates significant monetary profits to both host nations and sightseers'
nations of origin. Particularly in developing nations, one of the essential inspirations for a
locale to advance itself as a tourism end of the line is the normal monetary change.
Similarly as with different effects, this gigantic financial advancement brings along both
positive and negative outcomes. There are numerous shrouded expenses to traditional tourism
and they can have unfavorable monetary impacts on the host group. Regularly rich nations
are more qualified to benefit from tourism than poor ones. Despite the fact that the slightest
created nations have the most dire requirement for money, business and general ascent of the
standard of living by method for tourism. They are frequently the minimum proficient to
9. understand these profits. Among the purposes behind this are vast scale exchange of tourism
incomes out of the host nation, rejection of nearby organizations and items.

relative importance of tourism in developing nations. Tourism in numerous developing and
slightest created nations is the most feasible and supportable monetary advancement choice,

trickles down to distinctive gatherings of the general public and, if tourism is made do with a
solid concentrate on neediness assuagement, it can straightforwardly profit the poorer

4. CONCLUSIONS:
To total up, Indian tourism has immense potential for producing vocation and acquiring
expansive entireties of remote trade other than giving a fillip to the nation's general monetary

expanding trains and track integration to essential traveler ends, four-laning of streets
interfacing vital visitor focuses and expanding accessibility of settlement by adding legacy
inns to the lodging business and empowering paying visitor convenience. Be that as it may

The requirement for physical framework is there right from passage into the nation to modes
