The Tourism Industry In The Hospitality Industry

China is a dominating country with a long, graphic history; an economy worthy of getting into business with; and stories that are unlike any other. The relationship between general economic development and tourism is a tale as old as time, whether it’s businesses agreeing to tourism in their city or in literature where the results proved to be true. Tourism is often seen by governments as a tool for economic development, in particular areas such as employment, entrepreneurial opportunities, development in rural regions, generate tax revenues, and so much more. In 2012, a study by Zeng et al discovered that domestic and international tourism in China is becoming a booming industry. In reality, tourism in China has actually been declining slightly since 2007. This is because of the Chinese Yuan, (whose full title is Yuan Renminbi, abbreviated as RMB) and the fluctuations of the exchange rate causing the price of traveling to China to increase as well as decrease in personal interest. The recent recessions in America and Europe has led to Americans and Europeans being less willing to travel to China and contribute to the Chinese market. In recent years, air pollution and food safety problems have arisen, causing some foreign visitors to worry about travel conditions and even cancel their

As the tourism industry is closely united with several other industries like hotel and accomodation, aviation, railway, roadways, healthcare, entertainment, etc combined weaknesses of all sectors makes it more

China is only flourishing as the years go by, and it is only going to continue to flourish because of the way society is brought upon them. It is essential to know the importance of tourism and all the positive and negative attributes it has to offer. China is the “world’s second largest travel and tourism economy after the United States by 2015”, according to a new report from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). China’s tourist appeal is very different from any other countries outside of East Asia, offering a variety of things to do and places to visit. China is an exotic country with new sights and experiences to enjoy, and has an extraordinary culture waiting for you to discover. “English is rarely spoken by locals, and seemingly everything about the culture is backwards from what you know, but if you 're up for the challenge, you 'll be rewarded with a truly spectacular experience” (Vans Hinbergh).

China’s outbound tourism is on a strong footing. Over 100 million Chinese people made a trip abroad last year. Data by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Chinese tourists increased their spending by 27% to reach $165 million in 2014.

The hospitality and tourism industry is the largest and fastest-growing industry in the world. The hotel business provides career opportunities to associates who help make reservations, greet, assist, and serve guests. Approximately 70% of the American and Canadian economies are engaged in service industries. However, September 11 showed the fragility of this industry, that cost the industry much damage. The Hotel Industry income is affected by real life events because negative outcomes occur, such as less guests stay at the hotel, problems with employees, and hotel income drops dramatically.

When you think of China it is easy to conjure the image of the Great Wall or of actors from the Peking opera with their faces painted with elaborate swirls of color. However, China’s history and culture are complex and ancient. With over three thousand years of written history and 56 government recognized ethnic groups with their own unique culture, there are many things that can pique curiosity or intrigue the mind. Coupled with the beautiful geographic features and a growing place within the world economy, hundreds are thousands of foreign travelers are drawn to China each year. This has many benefits: tourism increased the Chinese economy, this in turn draws foreign companies to do business in China, and this increases the number of people that want to study the Chinese language and culture, which in turn draws more tourists. It is a nearly endless cycle. However, I would argue that even though there are positive benefits from both tourism and the indusial growth in China, the negative effects to the Chinese population and the environment outweigh those positive attributes.

As future managers in the hospitality field we must be aware of what all we are responsible for when it comes to our guests. Lawsuits are becoming ever-so common, and we must know what we are liable for so that we may prevent situations before they arise. Knowing the local laws is crucial to running an efficient business and keeping yourself and your employees up to date on these laws will save you in the long run. The proper training should be given to both managers and staff about procedures and precautions that need to be taken in various situations. Taking the time with this and keeping record of training can prevent multi-million dollar lawsuits or other unnecessary court appearances.

GradusOne Tourism Panel was the first networking event I attended. This event was held at The Profile Vancouver and featured a panel of industry professionals, whom all engaged in very interesting discussions about British Columbia’s growing Tourism and Hospitality industry. The panellists included an Executive Director from Destination Canada, the CEO of The Vancouver Trolley Company, Corporate Manager and HR of SilverBirch Hotel and Resorts, Program Manager of Go2HR, and General Manager of the Pan Pacific Vancouver. The panel put together was fantastic, although all panellists were from the tourism and hospitality industry; there was still this strong diversity in each panellist’s field. I found all panellists gave us a great insight of the different fields, opportunities and even difficulties that they face within their professions. I really enjoyed the ambiance of this event, it was great, and the location was beautiful with a large enclosed room, which encouraged everyone to socialize and network. Overall, this sold out networking event had a maximum of 100 people and I was very pleased with the overall experience.

In the pacific, the tourism industry has been growing rapidly in size and in investment lately and shows no sign of slowing down. However, the newer tactics and ways to generate profit for the tourism industry today have impacted the land, environment, and culture of the area being exposed to tourism (Taylor & Francis, 325-327). One of the more debatable areas happens to be in the Pacific, where a lot of small islands and enticing places to visit lie. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, or UNEP, tourism helps the preservation of the environment through the contribution of direct finances and government revenues earned by the tourism industry ("Tourism and Environmental Conservation"). The “preservation of sites, monuments, and traditional architecture” can be achieved through employing the money earned from tourism for the preservations of these local areas ("Positive Socio-cultural Impacts”). Infrastructure that is originally targeted towards tourists is beneficial to the locals since the creation of infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and so on, evidently also benefit the locals who live in the area ("Positive and Negative Impacts of Tourism"). The money given by tourists can be employed to preserve and protect the natural environment and topography in the Pacific ("Positive and Negative Impacts of Tourism"). While the more tourists that visit the area is ideal for the tourism industry, it is not ideal for the locals since more tourists equates to
