Impact Of Tourism On The United States

Tourism has become a commercial business, which has obvious benefits to the said economy, the environment and society. Often, the positive economic impacts persuade governments, companies and individuals to get involved with the development of tourism. Tourism creates jobs, both

For a long period, Americans have been trying to explore the benefits that have been since the individual States of America joined to form what currently known as United States of America. Although various ideas have been presented to support both sides of the story, I believe that the positive impacts that United States had on America outweigh the adverse effects. Political, cultural, social and technological advances that have witnessed in America over the centuries have contributed to the United States growth. This paper seeks to discuss the impacts that the United States had on the Americans from approximately 1880s to present.

Many People can speculate if the U.S.-Mexican border is truly a significant factor for our government’s safety or just there wasting money, time and land. By allowing the government to fund the border many improvements could be made. Border Safety, can create a safer border environment by facing the multiple Issues and Challenges, like illegal Immigration, Drug Enforcement, and cross-border Transportation, and Technological improvements by Homeland security influence the agents, trying to cease these issues.

America has always been a country of immigrants. During the 1891 to 1924, over twenty million immigrants came to the U.S. (Daniels, 1997, p. viii). Several pieces of key legislation were also passed during that time that affected immigrants. America’s view at this time reflected that of strong Nativism. Several anti-immigration groups had their fair share of influence in political affairs that had a negative affect on certain groups. This paper will outline the events that led to three pieces of legislation. This paper will also highlight the impact on immigration and how the chosen pieces of legislation contributed to future legislation (if at all).

For my term paper, I am going to answer advanced question number 17 from chapter 6 on page 198. Within a few days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, the Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates to stimulate the U.S. economy. How might this action have affected the foreign flow of funds into the United States and affected the value of the dollar? How could such an effect on the dollar have increased the probability that the U.S. economy would strengthen? (Madura, 2011) I will briefly describe about September 11 attacks in the following paragraph.

Immigration has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of time. The question to let immigrants in or not to. Even till this day President Obama is still facing the immigration problems and whether to reform it or not. That should not be the problems since our country was started with Immigrants. The only people who were here were the Native Americans. So is it fair to say that we should not keep America doors open? Is this the land of the free and opportunities? Immigrants should not be kept out. They have contributed to America economy more than we know it. Immigrants came over to have a better life for their family. Immigrants are an important part of our international competitiveness, especially in technology-intensive and service industries. Furthermore, immigrants help to provide business leadership in developing new products and industries. Immigrants also play an important role in the economy by filling niches where the domestic supply of workers is limited.

Economic impacts on the america’s were the cochineal insects which eat cactus and would be harvested to create red-wool, which was ranked under silver and gold. Because of many foods people were healthier in America than in europe. 1545 silver was discovered in bolivia. Columbus recolonized the way that many culture’s use certain products, such as corn and red

During the days of 1820 to 1860 in the United States, the living style of Americans became more different from north to south. We can observe on the economic perspective. First, the difference of the industrial sectors led to the different extent of the need of slavery. The manufacturing sector, thanks for the advent of industrialization, did not require as many slaves as the agricultural sector did in the south which was largely supported by a massive number of slaves. Secondly, due to the difference of industrial sectors, both regions had distinct city developments, which led to the different attitude toward each other. The north had many urbanized cities in which many immigrants moved, and thus indirectly led to the different perspective of slavery. Thirdly, the political effect on both sides differed. The policy of raising the tariffs benefited the north which did not rely on the import goods; however, it was detrimental to the south which did not need the protection of high tariffs, instead it relied on the import goods from Europe. These differences intertwining to each other gradually led to the obvious distinction, opposition, and ultimately the civil war.

One argument that disagrees with the increase being an issue, States that the economy could benefit from the tuition increase being put back into it. With this extra money the economy could start to recover from the recession that designated start was December 2007 (R.F., 2015). While recovery is very important for America, how can tuition increase help to rebuild a country that needs less people in debt and more productive citizens producing rather than increasing debt due to rising cost? How much will the government take from students to rebuild its economy? Depriving student of funds is wrong and is not the best solution for our economy. There are more ethical and effective ways to fight a recession that seems to already be recovering than to increase tuition for those that in the future will be an important part in the increase of our nation’s productivity. While conducting my interview with my economics instructor he stated that college education has to be less costly and lead to skills needed by employers. He also stated that sometimes prices defer from individual to individual and to consider price discrimination (Curtis, 2015). Price discrimination is the legitimate business practice of charging different prices for the same product or service to different customers under different conditions (Croon, 2014). Public colleges and universities have been known to use their financial aid rewards as a part of price discrimination. A company can discriminate price when

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).

The current research paper covers the main effects of global tourism, both positive and negative. International tourism is a significant sector of business. For some countries it is one of the main sources of national income. The most important positive economic effects of tourism are as follows: increase in budget revenues, production expansion, stimulation of investments, and improvement in the population’s welfare. Tourism influences social and cultural lives of people in a positive way by stimulating the development and revival of local cultures and encouraging intercultural exchange.

Today, tourism has become a global phenomenon being widely recognized in both regional and national levels. In fact, tourism is considered as one of the fastest growing sectors in the world economy, thereby being viewed as a potential sector in raising tax revenues, providing employment opportunities as well as promoting economic diversity (Khizindar, 2012). Goeldner and Ritchie (2006) indicate that the significance of tourism has increased considerably through educational institutions such as universities as well as media, which are conduits of spreading the concept of tourism and hospitality .For instance, Saudi Arabia is one of those countries in the Middle East, which is determined to promote tourism for growth and sustainability despite belonging to those nations that have historically built their economies on oil and natural gas (Eid, 2012).

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. 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. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

According to statistics, tourism generates more than three point five trillion dollars in revenue worldwide. Eighteen million American are employed in travel and tourism related jobs. In America one out of every ten people are employed in travel. Travel and Tourism has generated ninety nine point five billion in revenue for federal, state and local governments.

New York being one of the strongest economic states in the US is driving hard to promote tourism in New York so that the dependency on traditional forms of toursim is minimized and diversification of other sectors such as tourism is encouraged and supported.
