It is difficult but there is no value if you copy.

It is better to try hard and make mistakes than copy.

You do not have to be perfect.

If you copy:
1. You will not learn anything
2. It is obvious when you don't use your own words.
3. If you copy in an assessment you will fail because it is plagiarism.

Some of you have tried hard and you have really understood the reading. Well done.

Traveling is fantastic. If you've never had the travel bug hit you, or feel just a little apprehensive planning a trip to a country you've never been to, check out this course on travel hacking and learn the tips and tricks from the pros. When it boils down to it, tourism is great for not just individual travelers, but also the local economies. Primarily it's just a fantastic source of income, because its money that wouldn't have been earned if the tourists were not there.

Tourism also allows wealth to be injected into a community in a variety of ways. The great benefit of this industry is that it's extremely labor intensive, and many of the businesses that operate within it are only small businesses and micro operators. This means that every dollar coming into the industry is felt quickly by business owners and staff, and is directly related to a boost in local spending. For a community with the potential to become a tourist destination, there are a huge range of benefits. It's also great for individual travelers, because with a booming tourism industry there is lots to do, plenty of places to stay, and as a result more and more tourists are drawn in.

For anyone that is still wondering how all this trickles down into the economy, check out this course on economics and learn how the different parts are all connected. This article will cover the obvious, and the not so obvious advantages of tourism for the local industry, in addition to the main benefit of bringing income into a community that would otherwise have not been earned.

Employment

One of the easiest advantages to identify is the jobs tourism brings. This ranges from directly influenced positions like tour guides, hotel staff, coach services, and restaurants. What's great about all these businesses is that they not only pay wages to their staff, but source goods and products locally, giving a boost to local industry. What's great about tourism is that the supporting industries like retail and food production also benefit, although it is not as obvious to the untrained eye as this is mostly occurring behind the scenes. For a better understanding of the key macroeconomic indicators that need to be seen in a healthy economy, check out this recent post.

Increased Spending in the Local Community

This comes twofold. First you have the money that is spent directly by tourists in the economy. Not just on tourism, but there are a huge range of basic human requirements that need to be purchased, like food, clothing, hairdressing, medical services, and transportation needs that all need to be filled, along with souvenirs and amusements. In its own way, tourism supports global trade, which you can learn more about in this course on the new economy.

In addition to what is spent by tourists, the tourism dollars that are earned, by both businesses and individuals is often re-injected into the local economy. So you've got more money being earned locally thanks to tourism, which is then spent in the local economy as well. This is why tourism revenues are often referred to as having a multiplier effect, because a large percentage of every tourist dollar earned is reintroduced back into the economy, again and again. This is the multiplier effect. Ultimately, the more tourist dollars coming in, the larger the economic benefit for everyone.

Diversification

In addition to bringing prosperity to an economy, it also allows an economy to develop a new form of income. This acts as an insurance policy in case of hard times, because the additional dollars coming in can help support traditional industries in case they come under financial pressure. This is especially important for communities that rely on a single industry, or where there is a concentration of industry that is environmentally damaging such as mining or manufacturing. It's also important for rural communities, where there is significant risk based on the farming conditions and global commodity prices. Tourism allows a community to diversify their sources of income, and rely less on a single industry.

Infrastructure

The additional revenue that comes into a community also benefits the local council or governments. It means more tax dollars, which allows public projects to be launched or developed. This means the infrastructure improves, with new roads being built, parks developed and public spaces improved. The better facilities brings in more visitors, but is a fantastic benefit to local residents, especially when there is enough revenue to build new airports, schools and hospitals, which all support the economic development even further. Without a good infrastructure, the flow of goods and services is impossible, and tourism revenues allow this to be supported.

Social advantages

In addition to the revenue, there are also fantastic cultural advantages to tourism. It can be a source of pride for local communities, and allows them to look at their history, and cultural heritage and develop their own community identity. This helps the local residents to maintain their traditions and culture, while also showcasing it for all the visitors. This advantage of tourism is what has saved many local heritage sites from destruction, in addition to giving tourists a wonderful insight into the local ways of life. Tourism can help to preserve the history of a region that may be at risk of being lost.

Environmental Advantages

Many tourism operators are differentiating themselves from their counterparts by offering tours and packages with an environmental twist, and supporting the conservation of the local area. This helps both the environment in dealing with the influx of tourists, but also helps to build a strong reputation for the tourism operator. As a traveler, remember to respect the places you visit, and always leave them as you found it. One of the best ways to practice this is this course on becoming an expert travel photographer, so you can have all the memories, but leave only your footprints.

Opportunities

Bringing tourists into a community gives it new life, and creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish new services and products, or facilities that would not be sustainable based on the local population of residents alone. Tourists are all potential customers, and with the right approach can be targeted in a business strategy that allows for fantastic success.

There's no doubt tourism is fantastic for a local community. The key to remember when you're traveling yourself is to be a sustainable tourist, always act to support the cultural diversity of the place you are visiting, and make sure you take part in activities that add value to the local community. Never do anything that deteriorates the environment, and support the local and community owned establishments that form the heart of the local tourism industry. This course is great to teach you the tricks of the best travelers, and you'll be a jet-setter supporting local economies all over the world in no time!

For those of you that have ever gone on vacation, you know how special an experience it can be. And by vacation, we don't mean visiting your parents for the holidays - vacations shouldn't trigger migraines. By vacation, we mean the "saving up money for months, taking time off of work way in advance, buying a fanny pack" type of vacation - not a trip, but an honest-to-goodness vacation. Unless you yourself happen to live in a tourist destination, chances are you don't even think about the other side of the equation when visiting another part of the world, or another part of your own country. If you did, then you might feel a bit guilty for renting, then erratically driving, those scooters you find in beach towns, or taking that slow guided tour through the busy streets of downtown.

Most people either never even consider this, or if they do, they don't want to think about it, because a vacation is supposed to be stress-free fun, and no one should feel guilty about taking a vacation. But in reality, there is a downside to tourism - the places you're visiting, no matter how magical they may seem, have residents who live there all year round, and they, the businesses, environment, everything, are all affected by tourism. Today, we're discussing the negative side of tourism, and how the throngs of tourists can have a detrimental effect on their dream destination. Hopefully, we don't scare you away from traveling after reading this article, but if it does freak you out a bit, then this course on traveling with confidence, and this article on packing for travel should be enough to get you excited about it again.

Some of the following negative issues associated with the otherwise-enriching experience of tourism and traveling may seem obvious, and others you probably never would have thought of. Either way, try to be aware of them next time you plan a trip somewhere, and try your best to be a conscientious traveler.

Stress on Insufficient Infrastructure

Many times, local governments are unable to prepare for the dramatic influx of people that accompany a destination's "busy season", or for a special event, like the ones that revolve around sports, such as the World Cup or the Olympics, or a cultural event, like Carnival or Mardi Gras. Traffic jams and crowded streets full of ambling tourists can bring local life to a grinding halt. Granted, all the planning in the world can't make already-existent streets any wider, but with major events only getting more and more packed as population increases, without sufficient planning, tourism can put a strain on local facilities and infrastructure, which may prove difficult, and perhaps impossible, for a community to overcome.

Loss of Privacy

There are countless local communities the world over that have felt a loss of not only privacy, but the feeling that their town is no longer theirs. Whether it's a small medieval city in Italy, or a colonial town in Central America, excessive tourism can can strip the locals of a feeling of privacy. It may be due to the newly-packed restaurants and bars, or the very streets that used to be empty, it's not unusual to feel as if their humble town has been taken over by outsiders.

Change of Priorities for Government

Because the local governments of smaller towns and cities are easily overwhelmed, especially if they happen to be a popular tourist destination, or are poised to become one, they may start focusing on the potential influx of money brought in by tourists' dollars, sometimes at the cost of focusing on local issues. This may be especially true if a community is not yet a destination, but has some type of event or landmark it can use to bring in revenue. They may decide to focus attention and resources on this potential cash flow rather than the local population and its issues.

Higher Prices

Anyone who's been to a popular tourist destination knows that they're going to spend a lot of money, not only due to the volume of purchases, but because tourist destinations tend to jack up the prices of everything: food, hotels, drinks, services, etc. Many tourists don't think about this, but the locals must also pay they exorbitant prices, which are at their current state directly due to tourism. To learn how to stay on budget when on the road, check out this course on traveling more and spending less to save some bucks.

Local Job Market Affected

In tourist destinations that tend to rely on the weather for their tourist dollars, like places in the Caribbean, or towns with good skiing, a majority of their workforce is tourism-reliant. What this means for them is that many, if not most of these jobs are seasonal, and virtually non-existent in the off-season, and when they are working, these positions tend to be low paying. Hopefully this situation doesn't describe you, but if it does, or you're just out of a job right now, no matter where you live, then this course on getting a good job will help you work on your resume, as well as your networking and interviewing skills.

Resources and Land Affected

This issue is related more to destinations that cater to nature-lovers, and whose tourist appeal lies in their physical beauty. These communities tend to be on the smaller side, and feel the magnified effects of the tourism industry more so than other places might. Here, natural resources such as water, energy, food, and even habitat areas, which were possibly already in precarious positions, feel much more strain when a large population is using them, in addition to the locals. Also, the physical land may be at risk of negative affects. Soil erosion, pollution, discharge into water, deforestation, and issues with local species of animals and plants may come about due to the increased activity. If you're planning a trip to a beautiful destination, in addition to respecting the physical beauty, make sure you document it, as well, and this course on the art of travel photography will show you how to take better photos of the beauty that surrounds you.

Commodification

When a tourist destination also happens to be sacred, with spiritual and/or religious notions and activities associated with it, there's a good possibility that these places and ideas can just become entertainment and commodities to some visitors. Associated with the concept of "reconstructed ethnicity", various rites, rituals, festivals, and places that are seen as spiritually important, may end up taking on an air of entertainment, possibly resulting in changes in local values, as well as lost respect for these things.

Standardization

Tourists go to a place because it's different than what they're used to, which influences some destinations to play up their "unusualness", but not too much so. While they may attempt to keep their identity for tourists, destinations sometimes don't want to be too "different", and must water down and standardize their product, as well as throw in the food and hotel chains that many tourists feel comfortable with.

Hopefully we haven't scared you away from your next vacation to a tropical paradise, or a small ancient town. All we wanted to do was inform you of some of the potential downfalls of the normally glamorous tourism industry. Rarely do people discuss the other side of this coin, and while these situations may not always be the case, they very well could exist - just be aware of them, and try to be a respectful and conscientious tourist next time you're on vacation, and make sure you document your travels well, which this course on travel journaling will help you out with.
