Those who make a habit out of traveling the world, more often than not, become more of an extrovert than they may have been prior to their many journeys. It is no secret that those who make the choice to travel more often have a bit of extroversion in them, however, even the least social of any group typically find a way out of their shell when traveling. No matter the destination, it is the various interactions with people from foreign backgrounds, beliefs and cultures that present a challenge to the normality that most individuals cling to. These initial interactions create a comfortability, or openness rather, to engage with new people and see humankind through an altered, more optimistic lens than once

We anticipate a further recovery as the economy warm up. As a tourist resort, Hong Kong Disneyland has high profit potential.

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Nowadays, travelling becomes a new trend, especially travel abroad. It can open people’s mind and obtain more experience, so, more and more people spent money on travel (Lee, K., 2002). Besides, the development of family leisure brings a new opportunity for hospitality industry in China, for example, the rising of aging market. In China, young age people spent a lot of time on their work, so they have less time to company with their parents. Thus, they prefer to sign up for a tour for them to travel with other people who are in the same age. As long as many people travel around the world, increase hotel

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding.

From an environmental perspective, it is apparent that the world is starting to realise that increases in tourism are having a negative impact on the environment. This is due to increases in energy consumption, which in turn heightens the effects of global warming (Neto, 2002). There are many controls that governments are trying to put into place, such as flight rationing (Liverpool Business School, 2009). However, it can be argued that these have not really begun to have a significant effect on tourism, as they are still insufficient to dampen demand. It may become a problem in future years, as the number of controls is likely to increase. Perhaps the largest environmental factor would be natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina (Cashell, 2005) and the tsunami that hit Asia in December 2004 (Birkland, 2006). These will impact negatively on people’s confidence in visiting places that have been hit severely by such disasters.

The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators.

Traveling can broaden ones mind and make them more creative. When traveling, the different culture can give a person new ideas and allow them think in a different way. One study by Galinksy, an American Social Physiologist, proved that traveling makes people more creative. Throughout the study, they examined directors in two hundred and seventy high-end fashion houses, and“ researchers found a clear correlation between time spent abroad and creative output: The brands who creative directors had lived and worked in other countries produced more consistently creative fashion lines than those whose directors had not (Galinksey).” Having a new insight to the world, and immersing yourself into a new culture and language can help open one’s eyes. I experienced this first hand when I had traveled to foreign countries. Traveling has
