Tourism Flashcards
Give me 5 reasons why tourism has increased over time
People have greater disposable income. This is money left over once they have paid for essentials.
Travel has become easier and cheaper. More people have cars and our roads and motorways are better quality, making it easier to travel further in less time. Also, flights are cheaper and the internet makes it easy to plan and book a holiday.
People are visiting a wider range of places – partly because they have a better knowledge and understanding of places. As well as learning about different places at school, we watch television programmes and browse the internet. This awareness increases people’s expectations.
There is a greater variety of holidays to choose from. All-inclusive package holidays have become very popular.
People have more leisure time.
Give me three types of tourism and what they are
Dark tourism-going to historic tragedy sitings
Eco tourism-a tourism designed to be sustainable
Mass tourism-going to a popular place with large numbers of visitors
