The Origin Of Tourism During The Twentieth Century

In “The Ugly Tourist” by Jamaica Kincaid, tourism is thought as a disgusting and an extremely harmful industry. In her perspective, it allows first world citizens to escape and marvel at the simplest and most ordinary things. Although there is some truth in what Jamaica Kincaid describes to the reader, I believe there is a prejudiced view towards the tourist themselves. Kincaid’s essay about the ugliness and affects of being a tourist contrasts everything I’ve experienced being a tourist in Italy and Greece.

In this section I will explain the different development in the tourism industry since the 1960’s and what the effect it has on the travel industry.

In both Wilton Corkern’s article “Heritage Tourism: Where Public and History Don't Always Meet” and Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett’s article “Destination Culture”, one of the elements that I liked in both of their articles was the introduction. I thought that the introduction not only helped me understand what their perspectives were on the subject of tourism, but it also helped me paint a mental picture of the place that they were describing by the “show and not tell method”. I also enjoyed how they invited the reader into their conversation and made the reader feel that they were part of the adventure themselves. This is one of the main academic moves of writing that I would like to accomplish in my own work. I want my potential audience members

There are many factors that can affect the growth of tourism in a certain area. This can include the location of the site, how accessible it is, or the amenities that the site has to offer. Tourism trends are ever changing, with different areas of the market always in growth or decline. Due to changing circumstances of British tourists, this has influenced the way we travel and the places that we now visit for holidays. A variety of factors including; increased car ownership, improved education, improved health and fitness, and a tendency to travel further have all affected how we travel and where to. This has resulted in national holidays facing a decline in tourism and an increase in holidays abroad. Moutinho’s theory was that trends would change due to certain factors affecting tourists. This includes Globalisation, Technological acceleration as well as exploration. All these ideas would result in tourists travelling to previously unexplored destinations that were out of the ordinary and very different to the type of holidays being bought in the 1950’s. With

Holiday goers came to New Brighton from towns and cities damaged by the post industrial revolution. Skills and trades owned by the working class were no longer wanted; 1970s consisted of strikes which neither the trade unions, Conservative or Labour government had been able to fully address.

The concept of the traveller is seen very differently in comparrison to the tourist. Both have the same interest in being in another country and experiencing another culture, but to what extent are they experiencing it in the same way? The tourism industry has created these different types of categories of people who travel to other countries that have evolved over hundreds of years. Modern travel has become more affordable to people of all different backgrounds and with growing technology it has helped create this booming economy that the whole world in some way benefits off of. In todays society it is now more affordable and easier to reach another country compared to 100 years ago. This has created both titles of the tourist and travller as the tourist has become a negative title to carry as sterotypes on todays society have created a tarnished reputation of tourists. It is widely talked about how the tourist and traveller have two different meanings, but are they really that different? If so which title would fit the backpaper? As a traveller or tourist? This will be analysed throughout so there can be an evaluation and judgement made to help find the answers to these questions.

We shall see in this essay how a city has coped with the many demands of modern-day tourism and maintained its position as a Mecca for millions of travelers. “Today’s travel and tourism industry has grown into a global economic powerhouse whose combined direct and indirect impact on the world economy is enormous, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).”. ( Fuller,2014)

Since the beginning of human civilization in the world, travelling has been an ongoing event. The early humans travelled for hunting and food gathering. Later, as society evolved, travelling became more prominent but became limited to trade, pilgrimage, studies, migration, royal affairs and exploration, rather than for pleasure and entertainment. From this knowledge it is evident that travelling is part of human nature but tourism is a process and activities of a new and moderately recent phenomenon. The evolution of tourism can be divided into three phases.

The purpose of the following study is to apply the models related to the tourism stages to a chosen destination. The stages of tourism applied in this essay are the Butler and Young’s Tourism Development Models and the resort chosen is the island of Mallorca situated in the Mediterranean Sea, which is the largest of the Balearic Island belonging to Spain and has seen the boom of its tourism activity after the Second World War. Due to its small dimensions and the overall attractiveness of the place with its limited sites to visit, the whole island will be taken under examination in this study. The models applied to the resort define the stages of the tourism activities from its origins to its final decline with an eventual consequent rejuvenation

Now I am the head of the Yunnan province tourism department, and I will give an introduction to it. Yunnan province is situated in the southest of China which covers a total area of 394,000 square kilometers. And it is land of natural beauty and mystery. Today people think of it as a “ frontier province”, which lies just below the Tibetan plateau and Vietnam, Laos and Burma.

The significance of tourism in the Isle of Man began when sea-bathing first came into fashion, benefiting lots of seaside places such as the ‘Holiday Isle’. Tourism had a social, cultural and economic impact on the Island, and the development of it; creating more jobs which in turn resulted in an improvement in the economy. A growth in population and visitors to the island coincided with the rise in crime, a more mixed community and a change in infrastructure. Tourism also put the Isle of Man on the map and made it popular with lots of people especially from the North of England. This was due to the Industrial Revolution and Steam Packet making it an easy, accessible and cheap place to visit. This essay will assess how tourism brought change to the island and the effect of those changes. The impact will be measured by the immediate impact on the island, how many people it affected and if it left a legacy for the Island today.

The sociology of tourism is an emergent specialty concerned with the study of touristic motivations, roles, relationships, and institutions and of their impact on tourists and on the societies who receive them. (Cohen, 1984).

With world travel market having undergone significant changes over the last few years a new type of tourist has emerged known as the Free Independent Traveler or Tourist (FIT). The definition is broad but tends to refer to people over 35, often, though not necessarily, of above average income who like to travel in small groups, usually couples. They eschew mass tourism and the holiday package concept promoted by Travel operators, in favour of a more individualistic approach to travel. There are two implications to the idea of the Free Independent Traveler. One is important in the context of a marketing niche with a distinct economic behavior whilst the other concentrates more on the philosophy of travel. This distinction can be summarized in how they are described. For the economic importance of tourism and for marketing purposes they are Free Independent Travelers (Upper
