The media plays an important role in encouraging tourism in an area.
Media reports about a country or region can influence the decision of tourists to visit it. Positive reports about a country can encourage tourists to visit while negative reports can deter visitors from visiting a place.
Places like the Himalayas or Antarctica are places that tourists visit which they had not previously considered. Tourism to those places has increased due to favorable media reports. On the other hand, media reports of the political unrest going on in Thailand in December 2013 have deterred people from visiting the city.

However, the Government also plays an important role in  encouraging tourism in an area.
The Governments enact immigration laws that make it easier for people to visit their country. They are involved in planning, funding and building tourism infrastructure. Also, they can setup agencies that promote tourism to their country. One such example is the Singapore Tourism Board, which promotes Singapore as a tourist destination. It encourages the development of new attractions and develops tourism as an industry, helping tourism-related business to invest in Singapore.

Although media plays an important role in encouraging tourism, the Government has a bigger say in it. When there is a negative media report in a country, the Government can implement measures to curb the problems and gain back the trust of people. During 2003, there was an epidemic in Singapore called SARS. The Singapore Government implemented temperature checks in schools and workplaces to reduce the spread of infections.

Media reports play an important role in encouraging tourism in an area. Media reports about a country or an area can influence the decisions of tourists to visit it. Positive reports can encourage tourists to visit. As a result of the media, tourists are now more aware of the destinations that they have previously not considered. Treks in the Himalayas Mountains are growing in popularity because of favourable media reports. In 2016, 729,550 tourists visited Nepal, which is an increase of 24% from 2015, mainly due to the Himalayas Mountains attraction.

However, the government also plays an important role in encouraging tourism. Governments play a crucial in promoting tourism in the country, they can influence the number of visitors and their length of stays, authorize their air landings and the building of facilities. For example, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is a government agency that promotes Singapore as a tourist destination. They also develops tourism as an industry, facilitating tourism related businesses. The STB encourages the development of new attractions like Night Safari, which is now a 12-time winner of the Best Attraction category awarded by Singapore Tourism Board, 1.1 million visitors answer the call of the wild annually.

Even though the media does play an important role in encouraging tourism, there are other factors that encourage tourism as well, such as the government and international organisations. Although the media is capable of attracting many tourists through its good feedback, many tourists can deter from going to certain countries due to negative feedback of a country. Whereas the government is able to adopt the right strategies to restore the image of the country and the confidence of potential tourists. Hence, I strongly believe that the government plays the most important role in encouraging tourism.

Media reports about a country or an area that could influence the decisions of tourists to visit it.

Media reports play and important role in encouraging tourism in an area.
Media like news, television and social media can influence people's decision by giving reviews and reports about certain areas. Media can have a positive or negative impact on individuals by influencing the decisions of tourists when planning for a trip. When the media reports on the good safety and security of a country, tourists will be more intrigued by it and have a higher chance to visit the country .  It can also encourage tourist to visit more secluded areas.

However, the government also plays an important role in encouraging tourism in an area. The government is responsible for many decisions such as funding the development of infrastructure and attractions in a country in order to appeal to tourists. The government is also responsible for improving and maintaining standards of transport and facilities to attract more tourists. An example would be the Singapore Tourism Board.

Media refers to the channels through which news and information are communicated to the public, such as television, radio, newspapers and the internet.  The types of reports can influence the decision of tourists to visit the area. Positive reports such as good shopping opportunities can encourage tourists to visit while negative reports such as incidents of violence can deter visitors. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) stated that the number of tourists visiting the popular winter sun destination will drop by 900,000 over the next six months  after reports by the media on the country's political turmoil and violent protests was made known to public in 2014. Hence, the types of information provided by the media can influence the tourists’ decision to visit a destination.

Government are often directly involved in the planning, funding and building infrastructures linked to tourism, such as airports. They also play a major role in ensuring the safety and security of the sites that tourists frequently visit.Their involvement in catering to the needs of the tourists can influence the number of visitors and their length of stay as they had to ensure the destination would be appealing to them. The Singapore tourism Board (STB) is a government agency that promotes Singapore as tourist destination. It aims to develop Singapore as a leading tourist destination for leisure and business in the region. As such the STB has encouraged the development of new attractions, such as River Safari and the Integrated Resort. As a result of active involvement of the government to promote tourism such as through the opening of new attraction, it is able to appeal to the tourists and attract them to visit Singapore as their choice of destination.

In conclusion, there are many other factors promoting tourism in a country such as N.G.O and also travel writers. Media plays a part in promoting tourism however without the government support, the media will not be able to be as successful as they are now in promoting tourism, one such example is the Singapore Tourism Board which is backed by the Singapore government. Travel writers also contribute in promoting tourism as they can give good reviews and feedback on the countries they have been. Therefore, all the factors are equally important in promoting tourism

I agree media reports play an important role in encouraging tourism in an area. Media reports about a country or an area can influence the decisions of tourists to visit it. This suggest that information will be communicated to the public, allowing tourists to find out information about the country's well-being. Such media includes television, radio, newspaper,etc.  For example, documentary channels visit destinations like Antarctica, tourists are now more aware about the place which they didn't consider in the past. They will be able to take on treks in the Himalayas Mountains and have homestays with the locals.
However, the government also plays an important role in encouraging tourism in an area . the government can control the number of tourists in the country. The government can attract more tourists

Even though media reports is equally important as the government, but i strongly think that the government takes on a more bigger and important role than the media reports in encouraging tourists travelling to their countries. They may dtar

Media reports play an important role in encouraging tourism in an area . Media reports can portray a positive image of a certain destination and hence tourists will want to visit such places . Media reports shown on Social media , Blogs , television , movies , Youtube are just some of the ways media showing certain destinations can enhance tourist traffic at that destination .  For example , when a famous Youtuber visits a destination , does a video or blog post on the destination for recount purposes , it creates publicity for that destination and hence attracts tourists to visit that destination .

The STB encourages the development of new attractions, such as Marina Bay Sands , Gardens by the Bay etc .

Although, media reports attract some tourists to Singapore by posting positive reviews of a destination on various travel websites and guidebooks, government plays a more important role than media reports . Reasons being the government holds more authority by allowing construction of tourism infrastructures which are the reasons why tourists visit Singapore.  They are able to build tourist sites and attractions which will attract tourist to the country . without govt who allows for the building of attractions , even with positive reviews , without a proper tourist attraction , media reports will be deemed as incredible and  not reliable.
