FOR
TOURISM PROFESSIONALS
Members:
1. Aside from the tourism sector, what other industries can
a tourism professional work in?

There are other industries that a tourism can work with like Event
Management, Travel Transportation, Marketing, Advertising and
Government Agencies. Tourism and Hospitality sector are flexible and
I/we believe that we can fit or work with other industries.
2. What cultural elements will help a tourism
professional succeed in the field?
Cultural sensitivity, Language skills, knowledge on local history and
culture, will help tourism succeed in the field. With cultural sensitivity
we can learn and understand others who come from a different cultural
background. And through language we can communicate with other
people and language will serves as a bridge to understand and
communicate with other people
3. Is culture uniquely a tourism concern?
Why or why not?
No, culture is not uniquely a tourism concern. Culture is an essential
aspect of human society and impacts various areas of life, such as art,
language, music, cuisine, religion, traditions, and social norms. Culture
shapes people's beliefs, values, and behaviors and affects how they
interact with one another.
4. What is a digital native and a digital immigrant? What are the
application you have in your phone? Why did you install them?

Digital natives refer to individuals who were born and raised in the digital age, and
are therefore highly proficient in using digital technologies such as computers,
smartphones, and the internet. They have grown up with technology as an integral part
of their lives and tend to have an intuitive understanding of how to use it.

On the other hand, digital immigrants are people who grew up before the advent of
digital technologies and have had to adapt to the use of digital tools later in life. They
may struggle with some aspects of digital technology and may not be as comfortable
or fluent in using it as digital natives. I installed apps like Instagram, Facebook and
Messenger. These apps are used for communication in order for me to reach out to
other people
