Toursim Today

« Tourism today concerns a large part of the world population.

Leisure travel has become a simple and inexpensive.

Here, we present Justin Francis, in his article 'Travel trends and predictions'.

The most popular form of tourism is mass tourism.

This is the type of holiday that has emerged, thanks to the widespread use of paid leave in many industrialized countries in the 1960s allowing the masses to travel and support the economic sector of tourism.

He wrote for different aspects of tourism, the first point being about pollution, the biggest problem leading to global warming.

Each aircraft pollutes and so the environment is affected.

For Justin Francis the pricing is a factor for only a few tourists the cost of flying increases especially because of the petrol and developed 'geo-local' destinations is less expensive with the low cost companies.

Trips for tourists are increasingly shorter, but the value for money remains an important criterion for consumers.

However, the most popular destinations are the hot countries for many tourists but not for much longer.

We also note that the Chinese and Indians are becoming more mobile.

These emerging countries present a new form of tourism.

Each country develops its economy at this time such as, local souvenirs, organic products...

The form of tourism is changing and each year professionals from the tourism industry need to organise new things to attract tourism.

The travel industry must and will change the waiting period, and must adapt to change.

Global warming is one cause, but also important are the people including tourists, who all are a major factor and must contribute to protect the planet. 1.

The tourism economy In 2001, the growth of international tourism, which seemed strong, was halted and international arrivals fell by 1.3% under the combined effect of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 economic slowdown and major source markets for tourism.

The most spectacular aspect of tourism is that it has become the dynamic activity in the world with a growth of 7.4% in 2000.

Tourist arrivals worldwide rose from 426.5 million in 1989 to 698.8 million in 2000.

Meanwhile, revenues have more than doubled to $ 221.3 billion in 1989 to 476 billion dollars in 2000, according to the World Tourism Organization.

The service economy is driving growth in most OECD countries.

It represents a large part of economic activity and its importance continues to grow.

Tourism, a large, complex and fragmented industry which is still very difficult to define and measure, is a key component of the service economy (30% of international trade in services in the OECD area).

In terms of revenue, OECD countries generate about 70% of world tourism activity.

Tourism, which has expanded dramatically over the past 30 years, looks set to continue growing as societies become more mobile and prosperous. 2.

Global warming Mass tourism often has negative repercussions on the population and the environment.

Pollution is one of the impacts of this form of tourism.

Global warming is the direct consequence of an excess.

It affects everyone and everyone is affected by this problem.

For example in 2004: With the approach of summer, the memories of the 2003 heat wave in Europe resurface in our memory, 1 | P a g e. »
