Sounds like your trying to have someone else do your homework, well, I am bored enough so here goes\n\nTourism is the economic and cultural exchange conducted by foreigners visitors.\n\nPros: Money or economic revenue.\nEconomic Growth.\nFunds and necessitates preservation of cultural and historic sites and artworks.\nMakes a place famous and thus puts it "on the map"\nValidates a culture as rich, interesting, and valued\nOften leads to further economic ties. Business ventures.\nFunds new civic projects.\n\nCons:Exploits natural resources for outsiders.\nCreates a population of local service workers (hotels, restaurants,) who sometimes become second-class to the tourists and dependent on them for a livilyhood.\nObjectivies a group of people for entertainment, amusement or study (like African Bushmen...Masaii Warriors)\nTheft of cultural artifacts (Stonehenge, Tribal Masks, Ancestral Artifacts, Human Remains)\nCreates a stereotyped culture geared toward tourists (Hawai'i)\nProstitution (Your teacher may not like that but I've been to 5 continents and that is a REAL serious problem that should be addressed.)\nDrugs and Crime (Muggings) as well.\nLocals can't afford to live in their own communities (Aspen, Colorado, Providence Town, Mass.)\nSilly Tourists commit cultural faux pas that aggrivate the locals.\n(Although tourism does lead to social exchange and understanding +++)\n\n\nGood Luck with your Homework.

People love to go places and see things and meet people... When people do this they are called Tourists...  Certain places are very popular for various reasons. The Scenery or the History, and most often the climate.  When a place is visited a lot it means that the tourists need services to be provided for their visit.  This comes in the form of Hotels and Accomadation. Restaurants and Diners, Buses Trains and Taxis.  These services come under the Heading of Hospitality.   It is an age old custom of humans to offer Hospitality to their Visitors. \nTourism is a major Industry throughout the world and many communities and countrys are relient on the Tourist coming and spending their money there. The hospitality side is a major way of gaining the dollars spent. Yes they are two different industries but cannot really exist without the other.   Tourism is the reason people come to a place and it usually cost them money to get there and partake in the activities.  Hospitality is how we look after them and care for their needs whilst they are visiting.

In general, tourist places hit by terror attacks have less tourists - who want to be blown up during vacation. You can see how the number of tourists dropped in Israel and in Egypt.\n\nBut all over the world, the number of tourists in the last year was not less than a year ago.\n\nThe economic importance of tourism is undeniable. According to the World Tourism\nOrganization (WTO), international tourism generated $476 billion in 2000, a figure that accounts\nfor roughly one-tenth of global total tourism revenue, suggesting that, with domestic revenue,\ncurrent total tourism revenue could be as high as five trillion dollars.\n1\nFor many countries in the\ndeveloping world, tourism is a critical source of revenue generation and therefore a major\ncomponent of economic development, a relationship that rewards states when positive\nconditions such as a strong global economy exist. But what happens when negative conditions\nexist, such as terrorism?\nThe impact of terrorism on a state’s economy may be enormous, leading to unemployment,\nhomelessness, deflation, crime and other economic and social ills. According to Adam Blake and\nM. Thea Sinclair, two scholars who have studied the impact of the September 2001 al Qaeda\nstrikes on the U.S. tourism industry, “The contribution of tourism and travel to both\nindustrialized and developing countries is now so great that any downturns in the level of\nactivity in the industry are a cause of concern. The repercussions extend beyond activities\ndirectly associated with tourism, notably airlines, hotels and catering, to sectors that supply\nintermediate or final goods that are purchased by firms and employees in the industry, so that all\nsectors of the economy are affected to a greater or lesser extent.”\n\nSee more at http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:XLJvHMKhuGUJ:sand.miis.edu/research/student_research/Essner_Tourist%2520Terrorism.pdf+tourism+terrorism&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2

Tourism can be the best thing to happen for an area economically. When people travel to a country they need to spend money on hotel rooms, transportation, food, souvenirs, etc. Everywhere they go tourists are spending money. The more tourists there are the more jobs for the locals (cab drivers, sales people, hotel workers, tour guides, etc.). That means more income tax for the government which in turn can be spent on bettering the area (schools, roads, housing, services).

Because tourism brings jobs, income and taxes into the state.

1. Tourism Agency- poor\n2. Airport- EXTREMELY HIGH\n3. Big Companies- poor\n4. Individuals w/ high income- poor\nWHY??\nTourism's can care less how you get from point "A" to point "B". Big companies carpool or contract a limo service. And individuals w/ high income usually OWN their own limos. Airport all the way. People are ALWAYS coming and going to the airport all the time.

Yes!\nLeakage\n\nThe direct income for an area is the amount of tourist expenditure that remains locally after taxes, profits, and wages are paid outside the area and after imports are purchased; these subtracted amounts are called leakage. In most all-inclusive package tours, about 80% of travelers' expenditures go to the airlines, hotels and other international companies (who often have their headquarters in the travelers' home countries), and not to local businesses or workers. In addition, significant amounts of income actually retained at destination level can leave again through leakage.
