1.     Explain why Leiper’s Tourism System Model (1979) necessitates three (3) distinct geographical elements.

-Tourist Generating Region (TGR): This is the origin of the tourists, where the journey begins and where the push factors (reasons to leave) originate.

-Transit Route Region (TRR): This is the area through which tourists travel to reach their destination. It is the connection between the TGR and TDR.

-Tourist Destination Region (TDR): This is the final destination, where the pull factors (attractions drawing tourists in) are located and the main tourism activity occurs

2.     Compare the geographical roles of the Tourist Generating Region (TGR) and the Tourist                        Destination Region (TDR), specifically focusing on how push factors operate in the TGR and pull factors operate in the TDR

-The TGR's role is to 'push' tourists out via internal motivations, while the TDR's role is to 'pull' them in via external attractions.
