The economic characteristic of tourism industry by (Burkart and Medlik, 1974)
- The tourist product is an amalgam
- Tourism is a service activity
- Tourism products are perishable
- The seasonality of tourism demand
According to Burkart and Medlik (1974), “The tourist product is an______ of what he does at the destination and the services he uses to make it possible, the attractions, accessibility, amenities at the destination and many intangible elements are the components of the amalgam, and these components complement each other”
The tourist product is an amalgam
Middleton and Clarke (2001), mentioned “tourism has all the characteristics of services, all tourism services are intangible. In terms of international trade and balance of payments, inbound and outbound tourism are invisible exports and imports respectively” (p.11).
Tourism is a service activity

Tourism products are perishable
A hotel with 100 rooms has a production capacity of 100 rooms for rent every day, and the hotelkeeper will try to sell this full capacity every day. On most days of the year he will not be successful. Unlike goods, the hotel keeper cannot save the unsold rooms in stock for the next day or week, and nor can he reduce the capacity.
Tourism products are perishable
Supply in tourism is relatively inflexible, and rooms that are not rented on the day of the performance are totally lost - or ______________
‘perishable’.
Demand for tourism products is characterized by an unequal temporal distribution.
The seasonality of tourism demand
Annually, there are weeks and months with a great demand and others with a low demand. This temporal peaking pattern is called
seasonality
The relationship between ‘seasonality’ and ‘perishability’ is _______________-
