Rural Tourism And Urban Tourism

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

Tourism has taken a toll on many Native Hawaiians and is a huge human rights issue today. Most Hawaiians dislike tourism greatly due to the selfishness and greediness tourists bring to their home country. The pastor at a small rural church on the island of Kauai, Reverend Kaleo Patterson, has witnessed and dealt with numerous Hawaiians who struggle with the issues of tourism. Numerous vacation resorts that attract tourists have taken over gravesites of Hawaiians that have passed away. Due to this problem ancient Hawaiians have to partake in reburials. Tourism causes destruction to coral reefs and rivers because of mindless pollution. Reverend Patterson has protested and given public hearings in effort to acknowledge her fury on tourism. Tourism has brought an uncontrollable worldwide business that has no sympathy or thoughtfulness for the original people of Hawaii.

You should develop information provided in P1. You need to consider why these links exist and why relationships are formed, explaining how they affect the organisations concerned. E.g.

     Tourism also has its costs/down-sides. One of the social costs to the community because of tourism is that it may attract visitors whose lifestyles and ideas may conflict with the community’s (which commonly happens throughout the world, a good example of this can be seen in the settling of North America, and the effect it had on the Native Americans). Tourism could also lead to the overloading of porters which would lead to health problems. A loss of traditional values and culture is a possible outcome as well, through imitation of visitor behavior or

One of the topics we have gone over this quarter, is tourism and recreation and the effects they have on a community. When I think of tourism I often think of places like New York City or the monuments in South Dakota.

My understanding of underserved rural environments is limited to what I have read and what I have observed while visiting the Pacific Northwest and the Appalachian region. However, my familiarity with more urbanized underserved regions is much keener. I have discovered a common theme in many of these underserved areas.

Tourism is a dominant industry that drives the economic growth of America’s economy. From the natural beauty and culture of Costal Southern New England’s beaches and towns it has made this a popular place of travel filled with rich history that defines this region. As tourism congregated into a large activity that occurs today, over time, it has created environmental, social, and economic impacts. These types of impacts occur when tourists’ level of usage of local resources is greater than the environments ability to cope with this use within the acceptable limits of alteration. As a result of this, the environmental issues that have surfaced are affecting Costal Southern New England’s legacy.

An economic impact study was conducted on the festival to show that the city was receiving a great come back for its investment. On the other hand, a survey was proposed to gather information from the local population to determine whether the festival was a quality community event and whether it was generating spending by attracting non-local and out-of-state visitors. The research team piloted an economic impact analysis with importance on the total value added to the community through expanded spending and the city’s tax collections through the event. The team also measured the level of satisfaction that the event participants had to determine the percentage of repeat visitors. However, the study rediscovered that 34,000 visitors spent an estimated $7.32 million with local vendors on many goods and services during the festival. The positive economic impact, favorable reviews by attendees, number of return visitors, and variety of attractions that festival goers selected indicated that this even is both a successful economic stimulus and an effective community development

Tourism is a very large driving force for the economy of Mendocino county. Lodging, bars and restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations/convenience stores, and retail/shopping stores are the groups of businesses that feel the impact of the 306.6 million dollars’ tourists spend in the county every year. Money spent from tourism has many social impacts such as identity and pride in the community which keep residents in the area, increased migration to the area for those seeking a better life for themselves, and opportunities for growth for small businesses which also enable a “way in” for potential new residence to the

I have chosen to compare my home state of South Carolina with one of the biggest tourist attractive states in America, Nevada. Las Vegas attracts millions of people to the state yearly, famously known for a place called the strip which is a fascination to see at first site. In the meantime, the locals conditions lived in statewide are less glamorous. Data indicates the state of Nevada has issues, as do South Carolina with all of its marvelous heritage.

(FRENT, C. (2016)) While tourism can positively impact economically speaking, there can also be a negative economic impact. Prices will inevitably inflate. The cost of food will rise which unfortunately negatively affects the people who live in that community. The resources that the hotel requires will be taking away from other things that could have used those resources. For example, governmental support for the infrastructure could take away resources from more important areas such as health and education. (UNEP, 2016b, FRENT, C. (2016)) The California Area School District should not suffer over a new hotel that is not needed in the first place. An important factor to think about is that people do not want to depend on tourism to keep their community economically stable. (FRENT, C. (2016)) The main reason for this being, the tourism industry is not fully reliable. In order to have a tourism industry, tourists are needed to fill hotel rooms. Many factors affect this such as the income of the traveler. When pay cuts, lay offs, and unemployment affect people, they simply will not have the extra cash to take a vacation and put their money into tourism. It is said that relying on agriculture is the safer bet because people will always have the need to eat. (FRENT, C. (2016)) The median household income in 1999 in

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

Urban society is highly structured society. People are aware in urban society. Rules and responsibilities are defined. Urban society is a fast pace of life. People know their rights, needs and their problems. It is a developed society. People are social. They do not have time to sit together and have a chit chat with each other. People even do not have time for their families. All members of the family live in separate rooms and they do not have time for each other.

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
