Western wear

nurulhannani03 — 2021-12-14 16:16:07 UTC

It ranges from accurate historical reproductions of American frontier clothing, to the stylized garments popularized by Western film and television or singing cowboys such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers in the 1940s and 1950s.

Native American fashion

nurulhannani03 — 2021-12-14 16:20:02 UTC

Native American fashion (also known as Indigenous American fashion) encompasses the design and creation of high-fashion clothing and fashion accessories by the Native peoples of the Americas. Indigenous designers frequently incorporate motifs and customary materials into their wearable artworks, providing a basis for creating items for the haute couture and international fashion markets. Their designs may result from techniques such as beadwork, quillwork, leather, and textile arts, such as weaving, twining, and tufting. In some cases, however, they choose not to include any materials associated with indigenous cultures.

Environmental issues that effects tourism in the continent

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-17 08:18:48 UTC

Critical impacts include: greenhouse gases for airlines, liquid wastes for cruise ships, water and energy conservation for urban hotels, vegetation clearance and wildlife displacement for rural resorts, and a range of direct and indirect local impacts on plants and animals for nature-based and adventure tourism in parks and wilderness areas.

How does tourism affect the environment in Canada ?

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-17 08:52:06 UTC

For comparison purposes, Statistics Canada reported that Canadians in 2013 used an average of 466 litres of drinking water per person per day.

What are the negative effects of pollution to the tourism ?

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-17 08:56:10 UTC

In particular, the adverse effect of air pollution on tourism has received increasing attention. Pollution damages tourism's development by evoking negative psychological states in tourists, reducing the aesthetics of scenic spots, harming the tourist experience, and decreasing tourism's demand.

Worst Air Quality In North America

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-17 09:12:53 UTC

Air Pollution Mexico
Mexico has the highest levels of pollution in Latin America with the air quality of most cities being highly contaminated. Out of the top ten worst cities, six are in Mexico. The metropolitan area of Monterrey (MAM) which is located in the State of Nuevo is the leading city is air pollution. The high deterioration in quality of air is largely contributed by millions of vehicles on the roads.

Air Pollution The United States

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-17 09:18:51 UTC

Air pollution in the US has also reached unhealthy levels in the recent years. The main contributors are motor vehicles, diesel engines, and industrial emissions. In urban centers, old diesel fuel cars and trucks, which are poorly maintained, pollute the air the most. In rural areas, the main pollutants include greenhouse emissions and fuel for residential use such as wood for cooking and heating. Forest fires have contributed majorly to the pollution.

Industrial Activities in North America that causes pollution.

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-18 13:06:25 UTC

Toxic chemicals increase the number of minerals in, change the color of, and cause temperature changes in water.For example :

Fossil fuel burning: Produces ash (with toxic chemicals) that mixes with water vapor, creating acid rain that eventually makes it to water sources.
Foundries: Metals and particulates can be emitted directly into the air and eventually find their way into bodies of water or the ground where they can run off.
Mining: Crushing rock, extracting coal and minerals, and other activities release harmful chemicals and toxins, including sulfides from rocks and metal waste that mix with water.

Water Pollution that impacts tourism .

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-18 13:23:55 UTC

Water Resources

Water, and especially fresh water, is one of the most critical natural resources. The tourism industry generally overuses water resources for hotels, swimming pools, golf courses and personal use of water by tourists. This can result in water shortages and degradation of water supplies, as well as generating a greater volume of waste water.

Land pollution that impacts tourism.

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-18 13:40:45 UTC

In Mexico, mining is no small source of land pollution. All sorts of all toxic chemicals and toxic natural substances like lead, arsenic chromium and many others have infiltrated that surrounding land.

What is demand for tourism?

izzatiayuni03 — 2021-12-19 16:59:00 UTC

It is the total number of persons who travel, or wish to travel to use tourist facilities and services at places away from their places of work and residence.
It is the most important economic feature of activities related to the tourism sector that they contribute to three high-priority goals of developing countries:

the generation of income
employment

TRANSPORTATION

izzatiayuni03 — 2021-12-20 01:14:28 UTC

As transport costs are significant for international transportation, cost fluctuations strongly influence demand. The demand in international and even national transport infrastructures implies a large number of people to be transported in:

an efficient
fast
inexpensive manner

Well-organized terminals and planned schedules are essential in promoting adequate transportation facilities for tourist, notably since the industry is growing at a fast rate.

ACCOMMODATION

izzatiayuni03 — 2021-12-20 01:24:09 UTC

As the graph above shows, Greenland has for many years faced the challenge of attracting tourists in all of the 12 months of the year. In the last 10 years tourists have primarily visited the country from June-September, while demand has been very low during other months apart from a small secondary season in March-April – and in some years also May.

If the tourism industry in Greenland is to be economically sustainable, it is paramount that the tourism industry can make money and offer year-round jobs. This is only possible via targeted and broad collaboration within the industry to create demand from tourists in the current low seasons through coordinated marketing and product development that makes months out of the high season visible and attractive.

How does land pollution affect tourism ?

irdinanabilah946 — 2021-12-24 09:26:20 UTC

The negative environmental impacts of tourism are substantial. They include the depletion of local natural resources as well as pollution and waste problems. Tourism puts enormous stress on local land use, and can lead to soil erosion, increased pollution, natural habitat loss, and more pressure on endangered species.

Introduction

izzatiayuni03 — 2021-12-29 12:40:44 UTC

North America is a continent in the Northern Hemisphere that occupies nearly all of the Western Hemisphere. It is also known as the northern subcontinent of America, a single continent. The Arctic Ocean borders it to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, South America and the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. Greenland is geographically part of North America because it is located on the North American Tectonic Plate.

CONCLUSION

izzatiayuni03 — 2021-12-31 00:34:30 UTC

The physical features affected the people a lot. The physical features of the regions affected the kinds of jobs the people do to make a living. The population is heaviest in the lower part of Canada and that is where the cities are as well as the transportation routes. Due to pendamic COVID-19, the demand for tourism in North America continent decreased and many peeple lost their job.
