Many people like to spend their vacation in a different country and like to travel. It is always exciting to explore and discover new cities and cultures. Over the years the way to get to other countries became easier. The rate of international visitors is rising everywhere around the globe and tourism brings some good and bad aspects to each individual country.

Tourism is a dynamic and competitive industry that requires the ability to adapt constantly to customers' changing needs and desires, as the customer’s satisfaction, safety and enjoyment are particularly the focus of tourism businesses. In her book Rosalie Schwartz defines tourists as “sedentary people who leave home for pleasure and intend to return.” But “leisure creates work, it requires the work from others to ensure tourists find the pleasure they’re looking for.” Schwartz thesis in the book is that tourism in Cuba completely changed the social and economic aspect of the island; the author focuses in three tourist peaks in Cuba starting in 1920s, 1950s, and finally the 1980s.

Several studies have investigated the perception of the local community on the tourism impacts and tourism development. The research by Ramkissoon and Nunkoo (2011) in Port Louis showed that favorable attitude toward the tourism industry was found to support for tourism development, with higher insights of positive tourism impacts, this means that the community shows higher support for the industry. Nejati, Mohamed & Omar (2014) found that locals in Perhentian Island have an ominously greater level of outlook towards the positive economic impacts of tourism than residents in Redang Island after comparing the two islands in Malaysia. Aside from the perceived negative environmental impacts of tourism, locals on both islands

After the emergence of travel, trade and the exchange of commodities dated back in the early civilizations there has been a developing trend in the economic, environmental and socio-cultural phenomenon. People began to travel for their livelihood, leisure, for a specific purpose or to discover different destinations. This gave birth to the tourism which comprises of transportation, accommodation, attraction & hospitality and the service along with trade. This makes tourism an industry which provides economic growth to the destination. The main purpose of this essay is to identify the key factors of lifestyle entrepreneurs and understand why survival and maintaining a particular lifestyle is more important rather than earning profits.

As the economy develops, the individualized and diversified demand of tourists is growing. Tourism consumers in different regions, their needs and desires are vastly different, and also change with the change of environmental factors.

The Italian tourism business in the modern times is appealing to those internationally and nationally within the country. Before, during, and after the Fascism reign was when the policies that organizations of today were being created and trying to be put in use for the betterment of the economy and industry at the times. The nation’s tourist structures functioned better and helped bring the economy out of their hard times caused by the mistakes of Fascism. Italy had remained a poor country during Fascism, destroying the progress after the First World War and eventually coming out of it after Fascism with the knowledge of the need for international currency in the economy. The economy and the people of Italy all were affected by the need and growth of tourism during the rise and fall of the Fascist regime.

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. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the

The tourism Industry is considered as one of the fastest developing sectors for the economy worldwide. One of the main reasons of this is the growing numbers of tourist visitation. Tourist undertakes tour in a place outside their usual environment. It is generally said that tourism as a development based industry; it has to protect and support the tourist that is visiting any particular destination. Tourist usually visits in a place with good impressions. One of the factors to influence their impressions is their assurance regarding the safety and security of the place.

Three different types of tourism that I will discuss are dark shrines, dark conflict sites, and dark camps of genocides. Therefore, dark resting places are based on the act of remembrance for the recently deceased. Dark shrines are often located close to or at the scene of a death, and usually within a short period after the incident which led to the death. Also, dark conflict sites are where war and battlefields fit into this category and their use of tourism sites have been known about for centuries. Tourist have visited the scene of the Battle of Waterloo even as it was being fought in 1815. Additionally, dark camps of genocides are seen as occupying the darkest edges of the dark tourism spectrum, death camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau, Dachau, and Buchenwald attract thousands of visitors each year. Thus, people are drawn to these dark tourist sites because is where they can remember the deceased last moments at the place that they’ve pasted. Also, people are motivated because, either is part of their history or because people want to see where certain people died. As a result, it becomes a popular activity and more people decide to past by and pay their “respect” or take a few pictures to capture the moment. Also, people should be allowed to go to these places if it were of an influential person or if it significantly became a part of the town or country’s history. Correspondingly, I don’t believe they should be closed off to tourist, especially if

The world tourism organisation (UNTWO) states: “tourism comprises the activities of persons travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited.” Throughout this essay the concept of tourism will be discussed using a systems approach as well as using Neil Leiper’s ‘basic whole tourism system’ (Leiper, 2004) theory. The vulnerability of the open tourism system to periodic disruption will also be looked at through the example of The September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks on The United States of America. 9/11 as it is referred to today, was an event that shocked the world. Four airplanes were hijacked by the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, and carried out suicide attacks in the United States. Over 3,000 people were killed because of these attacks as well as the tourism industry suffering worldwide and the American employment and economy declining significantly.

In general, the political situation of a country is recognized as an important factor that influences tourism development. A stable political condition is a significant requirement that enables a tourist to visit and travel within the destination country (Hall & O’Sullivan, 1996). When the political situation is instable, tourists will perceive negative image that directly effects the tourism industry. As Neumayer (2004) said tourists are sensitive to the negative image of a tourist destination, events of violence can affect tourist destination long after the event has passed and stabilized. Cook (1990) noted political instability is a condition of a country where a government has been toppled, or is controlled by factions following a
