Scroll down to "What is tourism?"

"Four different perspectives of tourism can be identified:

1) The tourist: The tourist seeks various psychic and physical experiences and satisfactions. The nature of these will largely determine the destinations chosen and the activities enjoyed.
2) The business providing tourist goods and service: Business people view tourism as an opportunity to make a profit by supplying the goods and services that the tourist market demands.
3) The government of the host community or area: Politicians view tourism as a wealth factor in the economy of their jurisdictions. Their perspective is related to the incomes their citizens can earn from this business. Politicians also consider the foreign exchange receipts from international tourism as well as the tax receipts collected from tourist expenditures, either directly or indirectly.
4) The host community: Local people usually see tourism as a cultural and employment factor. Of importance to this group, for example, it is the effect of the interaction between large numbers of international visitors and residents."

Hi, I’m going a geography report and I can’t find any data on the number of people employed in the tourism (or at least in the tertiary) industry. I would appreciate some help! Please quote your sources too, as I need to verify your data. I can’t just assume your correct .

Cheers guys!

The problem that you will need to address is that any figures that you do find will be very inaccurrate for a number of reasons : Firstly the Tourist Industry is seasonal and as such a lot of work contracts are temporary – so if the Industry Employs say 20′000 in Benidorm in August, it may only employ 3′000 in January.
Secondly, what exactly do you mean by " Tourist Industry " – to a certain extent the whole Town relies on tourism for it’s income, so you could mean just Hotels, Bars etc… or this could be taken to mean almost everybody that is employed in some form or other in the Town.
Finally, over here in Spain ( and especially in this Industry ) there are a lot of Small B&B’s or Property Owners rentinbg out Villas, and even Bar workers that are doing so Illegally and without the Government’s knowledge – so whilst they are getting an Income from this industry, they will not appear in any official figures.
– I think that you need to make some reference to that in your assignment ( It will also explain any innaccuracies in the stats that you may have )

These days a lot of students are undertaking trips to various places around the world, in order to explore it and gain knowledge, while some also do it as a part of some research that they want to do, so that they can add some extra bit to their given projects and assignments. Most schools and universities as well, plan group educational trips to various places in order to make students aware and informed. Keeping in view, this trend, a lot of travel agencies have started offering student travel discount, which enables cheap student travel.

Basically Cheap Student Travel is a part of a whole cheap travel package, wherein the students can plan their trip according their budget. Such packages include many facilities such as that of cheaper accommodation, cheap travel ticket, lesser expenditure on travel etc. Thus, students get a lot of help, and can pursue their academic interests comfortably. Cheap student travel also encourages inter – country or global flow of students so that international students too can enroll in the desired university of their choice. A cheap travel ticket itself cuts down on a major portion of the expenditure; leave aside the cheaper accommodation and other facilities.

Most travel agencies regularly post on their websites about Cheap Airlines Tickets, and then they also publicize through newspapers, magazines etc about their cheap travel package. Besides, many airlines themselves offer student travel discount. However, one needs to keep a regular check on such things, as most offers are valid for a very short period of time.

Besides, most travel agencies and other tour planning companies may offer cheap student travel for only university students, or for only school students. So, you need to find out about these specifications well in advance, so that you don’t rely on these cheap student travel packages till the last minute, only to find out that the package is not available to your students, or the validity period of the package offer has expired.

Another thing that needs to be taken care of is the season or the time of the year that one is traveling in. Most of the times, better discounts and packages are available during the off – season, so it is always more economical to plan trips at that point of time. During the summer vacation, the offers are not so attractive and beneficial and may not be of much use.

I need to know the difference between the Sustainable Tourism and then Global Warming and Tourism. I need to know for a school project, and when doing research they both seem to do the same thing and mean the same thing. Please help me understand the difference.

Your question doesn’t make any sense.

You may be set to go on a camping, hiking or backpacking trip, and you are already excited to go out into the sunshine, see the sky, smell nature and relax from a busy schedule. And you’ve already packed food, skewer, knife, jacket, sunscreen, ropes and camera among the things you will be bringing. Now comes the part when you have to choose what sleeping implement you would have to bring or buy. You would have three choices: cots, pads or mattresses.

You are better off looking for sleeping cots if:

(1) You prefer to be elevated from the ground when sleeping because you are afraid of being slept in with crawling objects. Or you want air to circulate under your bed to keep you cool while sleeping during hot conditions. In the same way, you want to keep yourself off from the cool ground when the temperature drops.

(2) Your idea of comfort is not being poked on your thighs and back with sharp objects on the ground like rocks and tree roots.

(3) You want ease in sitting down or getting up. Because a cot is elevated, you can easily get into or out of it like your regular chair or bed.

(4) For the above, you do not mind the carrying and packing considerations that are more tedious than that of just having a sleeping pad. Pads are less bulky, generally lighter in weight and easily rolled or folded.

(5) You do not mind having to set up a bed in a way more complicated than just putting down a sleeping pad but mind inflating a mattress mechanically or with an electric or battery-operated pump. Cots would have frames that you pull off to stretch a fabric you’d be sleeping on.

(6) You do not mind buying a high-end model of a cot that costs as much as a similarly sized mattress.

So when comparing sleeping cots, what should you look into?

Comfort. The only way to know this is to test the cot out by sitting or lying down on it. Get the feel of the material and the design and see whether everything feels just right for you.

Size. There’s nothing as uncomfortable as sleeping in a bed that is undersized — narrow or not long enough for your comfort. A good cot for you should enable you to reasonably move — especially if you’re one to move a lot — without fear of falling off in the middle of the night.

Stability. Look at the framing of the legs whether it is straight and level and could hold when placed on uneven ground.

Ease of set up and dismantling. As you would undergo this process before and after sleeping, look for cots that are easily and nicely laid down and folded up.

Weight. As bulk and weight is a consideration for carrying your cots, look for ones that are as lightweight and as compactly packed as possible. Know whether the cot comes in a storage bag, whether the bag has a sling, and whether the sling is adjustable.

Durability and water-resistant quality of fabric. Inspect whether the stitching is secure and strong enough. Know whether the cloth is waterproof or is able to dry off quickly.

What would a tourist be able to do and see in the eco-tourism rainforest?
How do these activities fit into the concept of eco-tourism?
how are they eco-friendly?

How are local people benefiting from eco-tourism?
What is their role in eco-tourism?

Surely it’s be best for the environment if these tourists stayed at home and didn’t make an unnecessary journey half way around the world. Besides, it’s better for the rainforest if they keep out.

It’s be better still if they stopped buying Furniture made from the types of wood that comes from the rainforests.
