✗What is
Tourism?
Tourism…
Tourism is one of the fastest growing and largest industries
in the world today. Tourism is a social, cultural and
economic phenomenon which entails the movement of
people to countries or places outside their usual
environment for personal or business/professional
purposes.

5
Tourism Expenditures..
Tourism expenditure refers to the total consumption
expenditure made by a visitor, or on behalf of a visitor for
goods and services during his/her trip and stay at the
destination place (country). It also includes payments in
advance or after the trip for services received during the trip.

who do not reside in the country of arrival and stay for
just a day without spending the night in a collective or
private accommodation within the country visited.

 What are the
Tourism Impacts?

10
Tourism impacts is…

The traditionally-described domains of

tourism impacts are economic, socio-
cultural, and environmental
dimensions.

11
Tourism impacts is…

The economic effects of tourism include

improved tax revenue and personal
income, increased standards of living,
and more employment opportunities.

12
Tourism impacts is…
Sociocultural impacts are the 'human impacts'
of the tourism industry, with an emphasis on
changes in the quality of residents' daily life at the
tourist destinations and cultural impacts related to
transformations in traditional values, norms, and
identities arising from tourism

13
POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACTS
Positive social impacts in tourism include learning about
different cultures, increasing tolerance and inclusion through
LGBTQ+ travel, increasing amenities (e.g., parks, recreation
facilities), investment in arts and culture, celebration of
Indigenous peoples , and community pride.

14
NEGATIVE SOCIAL-
CULTURAL IMPACTS
Some of these negative socio-cultural impacts include social
crimes such as rape, gambling, drugs, excessive drinking
and theft. In the younger generations among whom
traditions and values are not yet so deeply rooted, there are
instances when the old ways are easily given up and their
innate culture is lost to the culture of the visitors that
frequent a popular destination.

15
Environment IMPACTS
One of the main reasons for travel and
tourism is the allure of the environment of
the destination. Be it natural or man-made,
the look, ambiance and activities a
destination provides are mostly the reasons
it is chosen by tourists.

16
There are four major questions one asks with regard to
tourism and the environment:

✗ Where does it take place?

✗ What type of activities may be done there?
✗ is the infrastructure for mass tourism ( many tourists at one time) or
individual tourism (a few at a time)?
✗ What are the peak and low months for tourism?

The answers to these questions leave a marked affect or impact on the

environment where tourism will take place.

 Relationship Between
Tourism and Hospitality
Industries

18
TOURISM INDUSTRY
The Tourism Industry is the bigger of the two. It
encompasses all activities of tourist from the moment
they travel out of their usual environment until the time
they return to the place origin. Even the provision of the
services to tourists when journeying and availing of various
modes of transportation to their destination is already part
of the Tourism Industry.

19
Hospitality Industry
The largest sector in the Tourism Industry is the
Hospitality Industry. The Hospitality Industry
provides accommodations and food beverages
for the tourists. In other words, the Hospitality
Industry takes care of the most basic needs of
tourists for food and shelter.
