Tourism is defined as activities, services, and industries that deliver travel experiences including transportation, accommodations, food and drink, retail, entertainment, activities, and hospitality services. There are different types of tourists defined by length of stay including excursionists staying less than 24 hours, and foreign tourists staying at least 24 hours. Attractions are the primary motivations for travel and can include natural resources, culture, ethnicity, or entertainment. Tourism relies on facilities, infrastructure, and transportation systems. There are various types of tourism defined by motivations such as pleasure, business, nature, cultural, social, recreation, sports, religious, health, and adventure tourism. Sustainable and responsible tourism aims to balance environmental, economic, and
The document discusses Dubai's efforts to promote eco-tourism. It provides statistics showing Dubai's rapid growth in international tourist arrivals from 1998 to 2004. It then outlines Dubai's various initiatives to encourage sustainable tourism practices through programs like the "Green Tourism Award". Specific examples of eco-friendly developments discussed include the Al Maha eco-resort, the Discus underwater hotel, and the UAE's first eco-friendly mosque. A variety of eco-friendly activities and attractions in Dubai are also mentioned. The document concludes that Dubai is well-positioned to promote eco-tourism due to its existing resources and infrastructure.
This document discusses key concepts related to tourism. It defines tourism, tourists, and excursionists. It outlines the economic importance of tourism, including its multiplier effect, job opportunities, business opportunities, and improved transportation services. It also lists a code of ethics for tourists, including traveling with humility, being sensitive to local customs and culture, listening more than speaking, and reflecting on experiences to deepen understanding of other cultures.
This document discusses the relationship between heritage tourism, cultural protection, and sustainable development. It notes that international law and organizations like UNESCO aim to both promote cultural heritage through tourism but also protect cultural sites and ensure local communities benefit. The concept of sustainable development is unclear, with debate around how to balance environmental protection with current economic needs. Overall the document examines the complex legal issues around cultural protection, tourism, economic development, and environmental sustainability.
This document outlines four types of tourism destination development planning: 1) Development Area Land Use Planning which involves land use plans for tourist resorts and attractions; 2) Facility Site Planning which includes site plans showing the location of buildings, recreation areas, and other land uses; 3) Facility Design which requires designs for resorts, hotels, attractions and other tourist facilities based on international standards; and 4) Special Studies which pertains to environmental, socio-cultural, economic impact analyses and other specific planning studies needed for tourism development areas.
Cultural and heritage tourism focuses on historical, artistic, and lifestyle experiences. It can provide significant economic benefits through jobs and tax revenue. Successful cultural tourism requires high quality products and services, strategic planning, marketing, and support from public policy. Ukraine has great potential given its historic sites, traditions, and cultural assets, but must ensure accessibility, authentic experiences, and support for small businesses.
This document discusses the impacts of tourism from economic, socio-cultural, and environmental perspectives. It outlines both positive and negative impacts in each category. For example, economically tourism can result in job creation but also seasonal fluctuations. Socio-culturally, it can preserve cultural heritage but also lead to loss of authenticity. Environmentally, tourism can raise environmental awareness but also cause pollution, overcrowding, and damage natural habitats if not properly managed. The document also discusses various measures to mitigate tourism's negative impacts, like green initiatives in the hotel, transportation, and cities/towns sectors.
The impact of tourism on a host countryKaren Houston
This document discusses the economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of tourism on a host country. It notes that tourism can provide both economic benefits through jobs and income, but also costs through leakage of money out of the local economy and overdependence on tourism. The document also examines how tourism can positively and negatively impact the local culture through commercialization or preservation of traditions. Environmental impacts discussed include increased pollution but also funding for conservation efforts.

Tourism’s Forward and Backward LinkagesSuh-hee Choi
This document discusses using linkage analysis to analyze the relationships between the tourism sector and other industries in an economy. It defines forward and backward linkages, with forward linkages referring to tourism as a supplier of goods and services to tourists, and backward linkages referring to tourism as a demander of inputs from other industries. It also describes how Leontief and Ghosh multipliers can be used to measure the strength of these linkages, indicating the total industry output supported by a one dollar change in demand or supply from the tourism sector. The analysis found tourism industries have stronger forward linkages on average compared to nontourism industries.
This document discusses sustainable tourism development. It outlines 4 stages of destination development: discovery, development, stagnation, and potential decline or rejuvenation. It emphasizes that sustainable tourism aims to meet present needs without compromising future needs. Key prerequisites for sustainable tourism include high quality attractions, infrastructure, community support, government assistance, safety, and codes of ethics. Various stakeholders like the private sector, government, and NGOs play important roles.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTÄngel Rözi Rozi
This document discusses sustainable tourism and sustainable development. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs. Sustainable tourism considers environmental, social, cultural, and economic factors. The objectives of sustainable tourism include applying sustainable development principles to tourism by protecting natural resources, cultural heritage, and ensuring community benefits from tourism.
The document discusses the history and definitions of sustainable tourism. It began being discussed in the early 1990s, defined as maintaining an equilibrium between ecological, economic, and social interests while conserving cultural and natural values. Major developments included the 1992 Earth Summit and contributions from organizations like WWF and the EU. Sustainable tourism is conceived as managing resources to satisfy social, economic and aesthetic needs while respecting cultural integrity and ecological processes. The document then discusses sustainable tourism in Spain and the EU, noting Spain's leadership in international tourism but also environmental issues caused by past disproportionate growth. Key themes for sustainable development include integrated coastal zone management and rationalizing tourist offerings.
Tourism planning involves setting goals and developing strategies to accomplish those goals. It is a multidimensional activity that considers social, economic, political, and environmental factors. Effective tourism planning requires assessing existing conditions, analyzing data, developing recommendations, and monitoring outcomes. The planning process aims to maximize tourism's benefits while minimizing negative impacts on communities and the environment.
12th year plan of india related with tourismjyoti chandani
The Ministry of Tourism in India has planned to develop tourism circuits focused on religious themes during the 12th Five Year Plan period. These circuits will be developed around Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Christianity. The Buddhist circuit will mainly cover major destinations in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The Ministry has appointed a consultant to identify circuits across India to develop during the 12th plan period. The objective is to identify six national circuits for religious tourism targeting domestic and international visitors.
This document discusses different types of tourism, including mass tourism, visiting friends and relatives (VFR), cultural tourism, religious tourism, business tourism, and health tourism (which includes wellness and medical tourism). Mass tourism involves large groups traveling together and is often the cheapest option. VFR involves visiting friends and family. Cultural tourism explores local culture, traditions, and heritage. Religious tourism involves visiting pilgrimage sites. Business tourism includes travel for meetings, conferences, and exhibitions. Health tourism encompasses travel for wellness, spa treatments, or medical procedures.
This document discusses sport tourism in India. It defines the three domains of sport tourism as active sport tourism, event sport tourism, and nostalgia sport tourism. The document presents research objectives to study sport tourism offerings and opportunities in India. It describes the methodology used, which included a literature review and collecting secondary data. Survey results show that respondents travel for sport events and culture, and enjoy sharing sports interests with others. Recommendations include improving India's marketing, infrastructure, and hosting of sporting events. The conclusion is that sport tourism is an important industry in India with great potential for future growth and study.
This document defines different types of events and their relationship to tourism. It identifies organized occasions such as meetings, conventions, exhibitions and special events as events. These events often include several related functions and involve unique management, programming, settings and people. The document also categorizes cultural events as activities that contribute to social and cultural life, sporting events as competitions for spectator entertainment, and business events as meetings, incentive travel, conferences and exhibitions.
The document discusses tourism planning and marketing. It outlines the tourism planning process which involves 5 steps: background analysis, research and analysis, synthesis, goal and strategy setting, and plan development. It also discusses barriers to planning such as cost and complexity. The document then covers classifications of travelers according to purpose and characteristics of individual tourism development projects. Finally, it defines marketing and discusses marketing orientations in tourism.
Sustainable tourism planning and developmentAMALDASKH
The document discusses sustainable tourism planning and development. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future needs. Resources for tourism are divided into capital, labor, materials and knowledge. Materials include natural and human-made assets like cultures, wildlife, buildings and infrastructure. Sustainable planning is needed because resources are finite and must be allocated efficiently. The principles of sustainability are holistic planning, preserving ecology, protecting heritage and biodiversity, and ensuring long-term productivity. Tourism development must conserve resources, maintain attractions, limit overcrowding, and be politically and socially acceptable.
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 sociology of tourism. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which are to appreciate the social impacts of travel, recognize how local populations can resent visitors, discover how travel patterns change with life characteristics and social class, become familiar with social tourism, and understand travel preferences. It then defines sociology and the sociology of tourism. The rest of the document discusses the effects of tourism on individuals, families, society, and how travel patterns are related to age, income, education, and more. It also covers social tourism, barriers to travel, and dark tourism.
Chapter 3 Planning Methods (Tourism Planning and Development)Md Shaifullar Rabbi
Planning Methods discusses standards of provision and criteria for recognizing provisions. A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount that arises from past events where settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources. A provision will be recognized if an entity has a present obligation from a past event, an outflow of benefits is probable to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Tourism provision defines services in the tourism sector and conditions under which public institutions, health facilities, cultural institutions, associations and individuals can provide certain tourism services. The document outlines advantages like economic and job opportunities and disadvantages such as environmental damage, commercialization of culture, and economic dependence on tourism.
The document discusses various approaches to studying tourism including institutional, product, historical, managerial, economic, sociological, geographical, and interdisciplinary approaches. It also discusses the economics of tourism, including the economic benefits such as foreign exchange earnings, government revenues, employment opportunities, and infrastructure investment. Some of the economic costs of tourism mentioned include inflation, opportunity costs, dependency, seasonality, leakage, enclave tourism, seasonal jobs, and the underground economy. The concept of the tourism multiplier is also introduced.
Cultural and heritage tourism focuses on experiencing and learning about the cultural aspects of destinations, including historical, artistic, scientific, and lifestyle elements. This includes festivals, performing arts, traditions, gastronomy, religious sites, and more. Some key challenges to cultural heritage conservation in less developed areas include financial constraints, private ownership of historic buildings that limits preservation, and human habitation that can degrade heritage sites over time through pollution and wear.
This document discusses tourism theory and practice. It defines tourism as travel for leisure, business or other purposes outside of one's usual environment for less than a year. Tourism involves transportation, accommodations, food, attractions and other hospitality services. The document examines definitions of tourism from various authors and organizations. It also explores the key dimensions of tourism including attractions, facilities, transportation and hospitality.
The document defines tourism as temporary travel outside of one's normal place of residence for purposes other than daily commuting. It discusses the history and evolution of tourism throughout time as technology advanced transportation methods. Key factors that influence tourism are identified as time, money, mobility, and motivation. The four phases of tourism development and principles of sustainable tourism are also outlined.

2. WHAT IS TOURISM
1. Tourism is a collection of activities, services and
industries that delivers a travel experience, including
transportation, accommodations, eating and drinking

8. Attractions:
Are
the
primary
motivation for traveling. They may be
a primary destination such as Disney
World or secondary destination which
are interesting places to visit on the
way to your primary destination.
Attractions usually focus on natural
resources, culture, ethnicity or
entertainment.
9. Natural Resources: Natural resources
are the combination of physical
features, the climate , and the natural

pattern has moved from a two week
vacation to 6-8 three or four day minivacations per year.
17. Money: the majority of travel
requires discretionary income.
Discretionary income is money
left over after all monetary
obligations (food, rent and taxes)
have been paid.
18. Mobility: is the access to
transportation
(car, bus, plane, train or
ship) and the hours required
to get to their destination
19. Motivation: is the reason
people travel. Motivations may
include
seeking
novelty, education, meet new
people, adventure or stress
reduction.
20. Demand depends on the price of the
commodity, the prices of related
commodities,
and
consumers'
incomes and tastes.
Supply depends not only on the price
obtainable for the commodity but
also on the prices of similar
products,
the
techniques
of
production, and the availability and
costs of inputs.
21. A Choice Between
Two Categories of
Tourism:
MASS TOURISM V.S. ALTERNATIVE
Mass Tourism:
The organized movement of large groups of people
to specialized tourist locations.
A consequence of the increase of people traveling
for pleasure; developed to cater to huge numbers of
tourists.
Examples: whole resort towns, theme
parks, tourism business districts, cruises, packaged
vacations, all-inclusive resorts, etc.
23.
Alternative Tourism:
Individually planned activities to
gain and experience first-hand
knowledge about local cultures
and environments.
Focus on secluded areas, occur
during non-peak travelling
times, can include arranging own
flights and accommodations.
Example: a self-planned biking
trip through Vermont, while
camping or arranging
accommodations “as you go.”
25. A Quick Comparison
between Mass and
Alternative Tourism
Mass Tourism
Alternative Tourism
large groups
traditional
fixed program
focus on “sights”
little or no background research
desire for souvenirs
purchase items while there
may involve loud social activities
snapshots and postcards
no language preparation
singles, families, friends
recent trend
spontaneous decisions
focus on “experiences”
careful preparation and research
desire for memories / knowledge
bring items to give away
quiet, low impact
photography and painting
learn local language
26. The Different Types of
Tourism
We have already discussed the travel variables that
influence people to travel, or to stay at home. When
travel motivators and barriers combine with these
variables, they affect the travel destination and what
type of travel experience the tourist signs up for.
Today, the tourism industry offers
many specialized forms of tourism in order to meet
the increasingly diverse and the unique requests of a
demanding public. People want to be able to choose
from a variety of options based on to their needs and
desires!
27. The Different Types of
Tourism
These “types of tourism” categories are a
useful way to start looking at where
tourists go, why they go there, and what
they do while on vacation. However, it is
important to note that these categories are
not always as clear cut as they suggest, as
travelers will engage in variety of activities
while on vacation, many of which overlap
into more than one category.
28. Pleasure Tourism
To improve the physical or spiritual condition of an
individual .
Examples: yoga workshops, detoxification
clinics, spas, etc.
37. Health / Medical Tourism
To improve one’s health, such as a visit to a health
resort or weight-loss camp.
38. *Adventure Tourism
Involves challenges and adventure, such as trekking
through a tropical rainforest or rock climbing.
* Types of Sustainable Tourism, a movement, which started around 2000.
39. *Wilderness Tourism
To experience something very different from
everyday life in remote wilderness areas.
* Types of Sustainable Tourism, a movement, which started around 2000.
40. *Ecotourism
Stresses low-impact adventure in a natural setting;
sometimes called “green tourism.”
* Types of Sustainable Tourism, a movement, which started around 2000.
41. Transportation Systems
The type and availability of transportation
will determine travel destinations. The
development of accommodations were
likewise determined by the development
of transportation systems.
42. Types of Transports
Transport infrastructure consists of the fixed installations
necessary for transport, and may be
Roads
railways
airways
waterways
canals
pipelines
43. Animal Transportations is the use of working animals for the
Animal-powered transport
movement of people and goods. Humans may ride some of the
animals directly, use them as pack animals for carrying
goods, or harness them, alone or in teams, to pull sleds or
wheeled vehicles.
44. Air Transportations
A fixed-wing
aircraft, commo
nly called
airplane, is a
heavier-than-air
craft where
movement of the
air in relation to
the wings is used
to generate lift.
45. Rail Transportations
Rail transport is where a train
runs along a set of two
parallel steel rails, known as a
railway or railroad. The rails are
anchored
perpendicular to ties (or sleepers)
of timber, concrete or steel, to
maintain a consistent distance
apart, or gauge.
46. Road Transportations
A road is an
identifiable route, way
or path between two or
more places. Roads are
typically
smoothed, paved, or
otherwise prepared to
allow easy travel .
47. Water Transportations
Water transport is the process of
transport a watercraft, such as
a barge, boat, ship or
sailboat, makes over a body of
water, such as
a sea, ocean, lake, canal or river.
48. Other Transportations
Pipeline transport sends goods
through a pipe, most commonly
liquid and gases are
sent, but pneumatic tubes can
also send solid capsules using
compressed air. For
liquids/gases, any chemically
stable liquid or gas can be sent
through a pipeline.
50. The tourism industry has trouble defining it…
Green Tourism
Ecotourism
Geotourism
Authentic Travel
Cultural Tourism
Adventure Tourism
Community Tourism
Responsible Tourism
51. Sustainability is vital to the life of the tourism
industry.
Sustainability principles refer to the
environmental, economic and sociocultural aspects of tourism
development. A suitable balance
must be established between these
three dimensions to guarantee its
long-term sustainability.

74. “Environmental Awareness
Raising”
Tourism has the potential to increase
public appreciation of the environment
and to spread awareness of
environmental problems when it brings
people into closer contact with nature
and the environment.
76. Protection and conservation
of wildlife
Tourism acts as a force of conservation as it offers an alternative
economic use.
Tourism draws attention to issues relating to biodiversity, endangered
species and human impact on the environment. (Doswell, 1997)
79. Golden Toad in Monteverde Cloud Rainforest, Costa Rica
Golden Toad, has declined in
numbers at the same time as
ecotourism has evolved in the
area.

6.
Activities in water
85. Water Pollution
• Water pollution is the contamination
of
water
bodies
such
as
lakes,
rivers,
oceans,
and
groundwater.
86. Air Pollution
Air pollution is the
introduction of
chemicals, particulat
e matter, or
biological materials
that cause harm or
discomfort to
humans or other
living organisms, or
damages the natural
environment, into
the atmosphere.
87. Noise Pollution
Noise pollution (or
environmental noise)
is displeasing human, animal- or machinecreated sound that
disrupts the activity or
balance of human or
animal life.
88. Solid Waste
Solid Waste is also
referred
to
as
rubbish, trash, garbag
e, or junk depending
upon the type of
material
and
the
regional terminology.
In
living
organisms,
waste
relates to unwanted
substances or toxins
that are expelled
from them.
(Caribbean Area)
89. Overcrowding and traffic
congestion
Happens when the volume of tourists exceeds the
capacity of an environment.
Overcrowding poses an increased risk of environmental
damage through erosion and restricts visitor
appreciation of the destination.
Inappropriate parking
Congestion damages vegetation, causes erosion and
adds to localized pollution.
90. Effects of activities
Skiing/alpine tourism
- mountain ecosystems are generally fragile but many
are prone to intensive use.
- many view skiing as a damaging activity because it
requires
associated
development,
such
as
lodges, resorts, roads and cause severe erosion and
deforestation.
91. Effects of activities
Ecotourism
- while the premise of ecotourism is to assist in
conservation and well-being of local communities, it is
often the case that ecotourism-based activities lead to
deterioration in environmental quality.
- proper planning and management is needed
92. Tourism, Global
Warming and
Climate Change
By 2050, tourism is expected to see its contribution
to greenhouse gas emissions rise from 3 to 7%.
KYOTO Protocol, adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11
December 1997 and entered into force on 16
February 2005. (highlights the expected impacts of
tourism in the environment)
Very significant because climate and temperature are
important determinants of destination selection.
93. Tourism, Global Warming and
Climate Change
Some expected effects may be;
1.
Rising temperature in central European culture cities
in peak season will lead to a decline in visitors.
2.
Specific ecosystems s/as coral reefs will be affected.
3.
In Alpine areas, shorter skiing seasons may arise.
94.
Experts begin to understand
how climate change may
reverse
the
shape
of
seasonality with a growing
demand for coolness in
summer,
leading
to
increased
energy
consumption
for
airconditioning, along with a
greater number of extreme
weather events which could
disrupt tourism, such as
flooding,
sand
storms,
droughts
and
summer fires.
95. Tourism-related companies
realized that turning green
makes good business sense. The
German tourism industry
experience.
Hotel Sector
installing water saving devices;
Abolishing individually wrapped
food items at the breakfast
buffet;
Using
recycled
paper
and
reusable bottles.
96. Tourism-related companies
realized that turning green
makes good business sense.
Resorts
-
Decreasing automobile traffic in
resorts, clinic and recreational
zones by constructing parking
areas outside of the central areas
and using electric buses.
-
(Club
Noah
Nido, Palawan)
Isabelle,

97. Tourism-related companies realized
that turning green makes good
business sense.
• Travel Agencies
- Publication of brochure
offering tips and
information on species
protection and
environmentally proper
behavior to vacationers.
98. Tourism-related companies realized
that turning green makes good
business sense.
• Transportation
- Use high capacity
airplanes to reduce
noise and emissions of
pollutants and fuel
consumption.
- “Garbage return
initiative” LTU
International Airways’
ecobag.
99. Tourism-related companies
realized that turning green
makes good business sense.
Cities and Towns
-
Use of solar energy
-
Replacing regular light
bulbs for energy-saving
bulbs.
-
Promoting bicycles for
inner city transport
-
Use of rain water

Editor's Notes
Several buzz words…. Niche markets…. Speciaized travel companies…. Websites.Are they all different?Are they doing the same thing?Does it matter?
Clearly defined… Minimizing the harm, and maximizing the good.Why is this important?
Everyone is familiar with these factsSo many people traveling, huge impactFinite resources, Finite ability to manage people flows
Sustainable tourism isn’t just about minimizing harm… but has a real power for change.When done correctly it can do all sorts of things that are ultimately beneficial for the tourism industry & travelersExample: Only five percent of mainstream tourism dollars stay within a destinationExample: Help reduce costs by investing in training, reducing consumption, and thinking strategically about business
All of those things sound
66% of U.S. consumers believe their travel choices can make a difference to the environmentLifestyle changes toward sustainability represent a $200 billion industry in the U.S. alone 56% are skeptical of companies making green claims and look for information elsewhere
Green Travelers are those that specifically travel for sustainability or consider sustainability at least half of the time.“Dark Green” travelers – those on the forefront of the movement- Tech savvy – resourceful, investigative and rely on the word of mouth experience of others
These are things typically associated with sustainability by the majority of people
Sustainable tourism goes beyond being obsessed with recycling and living in a treehouse. High quality tourism that embraces the uniqueness of the destination, creates an authentic experience, and encourages interaction with the place and its people is also sustainable.So, being a sustainable business is not JUST about the environment, being crunchy… but it’s about being a GOOD business and providing GOOD opportunities to clientele
Tourism as an industry has a fairly common set of indicators it uses Ministries, CVBs, tour operators all use arrivals and income generators as a way to measure viability (These are all relevant – still a business) Sustainable tourism goes one step further to look at impacts Using these indicators whether building a business or a destination promotes healthier more long-term success that isn’t victim to economic trends or fads
Tourism that is truly sustainable has very important impacts for everyone. Travelers are more happy – WoMBusinesses – reduce cost, new marketsDestinations – positive association, new marketsGovernments – increased revenue, increased jobs, money stays localResidents – new jobs, money stays local, healthy destination
