Tourism And Its Impact On Tourism

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.

Tourism is one of the most exciting and progressive industries in the world. Tourism today is a leisure activity of the masses. People travel to international destinations to break the regular monotony of life. They are mainly attracted by either the scenic beauty of its nature or by fascinating leisure, sports and adventure activities offered by the destination. However, every destination has some internal strengths and weaknesses that either enhance its capacity to attract foreign visitors or diminish it. Similarly the external environment can create various opportunities or exposed to threats as well.

An accurate definition of tourism is when individuals travel for pleasure or it may be the business catering for people who do this. There are many reasons as to why people might visit different locations. It could be to explore different civilizations and ethnicities for example, Greece; or it could simply be to experience a different lifestyle and to take a break from their usual routine and rest, for example, Venice.

In terms of service, tourism is regarded as one of the major industries in our modern time of today. Because of tourism, tourists not only recreate themselves and relax, but they also capture memories that can be considered as a hidden treasure for a long time.

As the earth heats due to global warming caused by pollution, the temperatures are rising and creating a shift in the water environment, slowly damaging the earth. As this continues, more birds are getting stuck in six-pack plastic rings, turtles are getting straws stuck up their nose, and more penguins are getting oil stuck in their feathers. The looks of the atrocious scenes shown above have created a worsening economy for the tourism industry, “polluted rivers are marrying the reputation of our nation's capital, when the rivers are dirty it influences tourists in a negative way.” (Corporate Pollution n.pag.). When the United States has trashy beaches, with a dead whale on shore, and a large pipe dumping sewage into the water greeting tourists, it does not exactly create a wonderful experience, and the United States will surely not expect to see that tourist again. This creates a divot in the tourism industry with an estimated loss of close to one billion dollars through the fall of water-based activities (The Effects: Economy n.pag.). The weakening tourism is not the only factor dragging down the economy in the context of water pollution. Property values, commercial fishing, recreational businesses and other sectors that depend on clean water are also being affected. The prices of houses can drop by twenty-five percent if filthy water is surrounding the property (The Effects: Economy n.pag.). Nutrient pollution annually causes the commercial fishing industry tens of

Tourism is the world’s largest and fastest growing industry and can be defined as the totality of the relationship and phenomenon arising from travel and education purposes of people, provided the stay does not imply the establishment of a permanent residence and is not connected with remunerated activity. While it may boost a country’s economy, doubts about the overall benefits of tourism are reinforced by the belief that tourism brings adverse social and cultural effects. As an industry, it may be have several impacts on a country, both good and bad.

The tourism industry is one of the greatest drivers to stimulate economic growth in the United Kingdom. According to figures by the government, tourism is the UK’s fifth largest industry, creating around 3 million jobs, generating approximately 127 billion pounds per year, and covering more than 200,000 small and medium sized enterprises (Oxford Economics, 2014). The ever increasing number of small firms in this industry draws attention to the importance of entrepreneurship in the tourism and hospitality business. Statistics show that 98.5 per cent of all hotels and restaurants in the UK employ less than 50 people (Oxford Economics, 2014). This number proves the claim long established by scholars that the tourism and hospitality industry is largely dominated by small to medium-sized entrepreneurial firms (Thomas, 1998, Morrison et al., 1998, Getz, 2004, Buhalis and Main, 1998). There is a body of literature that studies the complex combination of motives that that give rise to small businesses in tourism. It appears that the nature of small-scale entrepreneurship in the tourism industry is very different from that in other economic sectors. Specifically, the vast majority of entrepreneurs in tourism is lifestylers, meaning that they are not motivated by economic factors (Morrison et al., 1999). The significance of lifestyle motives within tourism entrepreneurship presents a particular feature that sets this sector apart from the
