Tourism is a very complex issue and before we can begin to analyze the varying impacts it as on the region, we must first understand exactly what tourism is. Tourism has many definitions, according to Goeldner & Ritchie, “tourism is the processes, activities and outcomes arising from the relationships and the interactions among tourists, tourism suppliers, host government, host communities and surrounding environments that are involved in the attracting and hosting of visitors.” It can be classified into three types; domestic, that is, within the boundaries of one country. Regional, which refers to travel within a set geographical location or international which is travel from one country to another in a different geographical location. Contrary to popular believe, domestic tourism is the most dominant of the three forms as it accounts for about 80% of tourist trips worldwide, but with regards to the Caribbean, it is international tourism that is dominant and most beneficial to the region.…

It really affects my views a lot because at first, I only knew all the advantages of the tourism industry that it will have an impact for the common good of the economy and of our country. It changed my perspective because these things are hidden; rarely to be discuss by others because it does not affect tourist but by some means greatly affect the locals residing from the tourist attractions. Having a government like now which is very lax and corrupt, those truths are inevitable to happen and it will occur repeatedly until we destroy our resources. These were the truths of Tourism but we are blind to see it, we chose not to see it and we are selfish for that. For me, all the blames will eventually end up to the government because they are the ones who have the authority over tourism sector and they should know how to control it. It is somehow true that our government is very dependent in the Tourism industry. They focus their attention too much that they forgot other sectors that will actually aid our progress as a well-improved country. In which, is very disappointing and now we are experiencing scarcity and inflation most of the time. My outlook about tourism had greatly changed since I read it and it is so disheartening to realize these things because I believed that it can really help the growth of our country however, our government is so useless that they did not do some actions. Moreover, we tend to abuse our resources and in the end, nothing left for our next generation. My views as of now, is that tourism is one of the factors that can help build up an economy and a nation with the helping hand of the government. The government should balance the other sectors because not all money can come with tourism but we just need more improvement to achieve a refine country.…

Hotels and motels are almost always available for purchase. Buyers want the minimum price possible; sellers the maximum price. The hotel buyer usually uses leveraged money, and the sophisticated lender wants to be sure that the money being loaned will be repaid. Both buyer and seller are almost certain to be biased. To help eliminate bias and arrive at a value that the lender will accept, a market and feasibility study can be called for whenever a hotel or motel is bought. The lender obtains an assurance that the property can generate enough income to service the debt. The buyer is shown that indeed there are sizeable number of potential guests and certainly enough of them to create a profit.…

1. Facilitator – Travel facilitators are the factors of why someone will think about travelling. The two main factors are disposable income and leisure time. The more disposable income and leisure time you have the more you will want to plan a holiday or a break. This means that Australians that have these factors will come to New Zealand because it is close and they can put more money into activities and accommodation. This affects New Zealand’s tourists demand because the Australians are one of our biggest markets so if these factors start to decrease then our arrival numbers go down and we wont get as much money put into our country.…
This section identifies the origin of safari clientele and the number of clients safari companies accommodate annually. Most (95 percent) of the safari companies reported clients from the United States and United Kingdom (Table 22). Seventy percent of the companies reported clients from Europe other than the United Kingdom. Sixty-five percent said clients came from the Republic of South Africa. Nearly 80 percent of the clients were from three countries; United States (34 percent), United Kingdom (23 percent) and Republic of South Africa (22 percent). In 1989, 19 companies served 12,879 clients (Table 23). Several of the respondents were small companies, as many of the larger companies did not respond to the study.

Sixty-eight percent of the clients were hunters (in 1989). All 20 companies have an average of 83 percent non-hunting clientele.…
