The Economic Effects Of Tourism And The Tourism Industry

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.

Growing up only a couple hours from the coast gave me the advantage of quick trips to the beach. I cherish the memories of the beautiful drive and the excitement of finally arriving to the ocean. As I got older, I began to notice more than just warm sand, fun shops, and yummy food- I noticed what has been going wrong. Over the years, I have realized how much garbage washes up on the shores, that tourists leave enormous messes, and most importantly- the beaches are showing the effects. I hear more often about sea life washing to shore, contaminated shellfish, and mass amounts of coral and other sea life sick or dying altogether. At first glance, I think it is just the effects of a changing world, but truly it is the cause of overuse and contamination of water. Everything we do has some

Pollution comes in many forms. In the ocean we dump a variety of substances, including human wastes, chemicals from fertilizers, oil, and trash such as plastic which all contribute to the growing issue of our ocean pollution. In addition to, our usable waters are finite. More than 97.5 percent of the water on this planet is undrinkable salt water; the remaining 2.5 percent has two-thirds of the usable fresh water locked up in glaciers, snow, and permafrost. Of the one-third of freshwater that is available for human use, 20 percent is used for industrial use. (“Water Pollution”) “In effect, water pollution reduces the volume of water available

In August 14, of 2015, an EPA worker takes a water reading in the Animas River near Durango, Colorado. Once the water was tested, there was an estimate more that 3 million gallons of wastewater in the River. Do you want to know what caused it? An abandon and dormant mine, had a pool of wastewater that had collapsed and went down to the river where we get our fresh water from. Most of the mines from the U.S. have produced 50 billion tons of untreated, unclaimed mining waste on public and private land. Also the ocean is polluted, and estimated 10 percent of the 260 million tons of plastic produced each year-end up in the ocean. The biggest problem that we face today is water pollution, because it affects marine life, reason being, the fishes

Britain has been over the news due to the British exit the European Union, which this event is known as Brexit (Hunt, 2016). This decision brought a large impact on every country in Britain, but the Britain has not started negotiate with European Union about adapting regulations to minimize their negative consequences. Before people can list potential impacts of Brexit on Britain’s tourism, it is important for people to understand how well the Britain was doing in the tourism industry. In addition, it is important to analyze and understand what type of tourism impacts on Britain. So, people would know how Brexit will change its policy and what impacts will bring to their current life. It will provide an idea of how the changes of regulations will impact different countries and the region. Thus, it provides an understanding of how tourism helps to develop the Britain in terms of environmental impacts, socio-cultural impacts, and economic impacts.

Waterborne diseases brought on by water pollution can be very dangerous and potentially life threatening. Some of the most common diseases include Cholera, Salmonella and certain types of E. Coli (Heukelbach, et al.). “Water-related diseases kill 1.5 million people each year, about 4,000 people (including children and adults) per day worldwide.” (“Waterborne Disease”). This proves how dangerous these diseases actually can be. One of the consequences of having polluted waters is the affect is has on the water industry. Tourism rates have dropped in Rio de Janeiro because their white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters aren’t so white and clear anymore. Also, Brazil’s fishing industry is dropping at a high rate because of the water pollution.“‘When it rains heavily, all that garbage floats in here,’ Gilmer Ferriera said. In his 35 years here, the conditions have gotten worse and worse, and now a once thriving fishing industry is dealing with the fallout. He sums it up in two words: Fewer fish.” The pollution caused by the Rio’s attempt to clean up the land, also led to the significant decrease in amount of fish (Fistarol, Et Al.).This means less fish to catch and sell leading to a huge market crash (Fistarol, Et Al.). Brazil is already in a fair amount of debt and now they are losing ways to gain that money

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.

This paper will be dynamically examining the tourism industry during the 2000s. It will begin by using the PESTEL framework to analyse the macro environment and determine which factors drive the competitive forces within the industry. Following this, Porter’s Five Forces model will be used to analyse the actual competitive forces at work within the industry and determine the relative importance of these forces.

First of all, what I’m going to tell you is about how water pollution does to wildlife. According to care2.com, over one million birds are killed each year because they ingest plastic. 10 percent of the 100 million tons of plastic produced each year ends up in the ocean. Another thing is how cruise ships are dumping more than 250,000 gallons of sewage into the ocean, legally! Current regulations allow cruise ships to dump untreated sewage from the ship when it is three miles away from the shore. Most of the stuff they dump has harmful elements, such as, bacteria, pathogens, medical wastes, oils, even heavy metals! All of these are putting the marine life at risk of death. Also, water in the atmosphere is mixing with the chemicals emitted from burning fossil fuels, forming acidic compounds. Acid rain has had many effects on ecosystems, especially aquatic ones. Plus there are toxic amounts of aluminum being disposed improperly by being put into the water. This kills wildlife and throws delicate ecosystem out of balance. Don’t you see how deadly and harmful these actions truly are?

Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world, but can easily be affected by several issues ranging from economic and political issues to safety and security concerns. Health issues are closely related to safety concerns, which can have a major negative impact on tourism. A current health issue that is affecting the tourism industry in the US, Caribbean, and Latin American countries is the Zika virus. The Zika virus is spread by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquitos. It can be spread from a pregnant woman to her unborn fetus, which can result in microcephaly, along with other birth defects. Zika can also be contracted by having sex with an infected partner or by a blood transfusion. Currently, there is no treatment or vaccine to prevent being infected with the virus. According to the CDC, the best prevention method is to do everything possible to prevent mosquito bites.

“So you want to be a travel agent?” This is a question I am frequently asked when I tell people I am studying tourism. Tourism affects almost every industry, from land development to fishing, from recreation to hospitality. Interestingly enough, very few people understand what a career in tourism actually involves. Not only is it a vital source of income for many stakeholders, tourism has the potential to impact virtually everyone. Furthermore, it involves a lot more than travel and leisure, despite the common perception of tourism as the “happy industry”.
