Презентация на тему The geography of tourism. The global prospective

travel and tourism, as an industry and as a

social and cultural activity
Tourism geography includs: the environmental impact of tourism, the geographies of tourism and leisure economies, answering travel industry and management concerns and the sociology of tourism

deals with the study of travel and its impact

on places. Geography is fundamental to the study of tourism, because tourism is geographical in nature
Tourism occurs in places, it involves movement and activities between places and it is an activity in which both place characteristics and personal self-identities are formed, through the relationships that are created among places, landscapes and people

the varying concerns. Much tourism management literature remains quantitative

in methodology and considers tourism as consisting of the places of tourist origin, tourist destinations and the connections between origin and destination places (Franklin & Crang, 2001; Hall, 2013; Williams & Lew, 2014)

Global Problems in Tourism Geography

as those from cultural geography, which take more theoretically

diverse approaches to tourism, including a sociology of tourism, which extends beyond tourism as an isolated, exceptional activity and considering how travel fits into the everyday lives (Larsen et al., 2006; Hall & Page, 2014; Lew, 2017)

Global Problems in Tourism Geography

distribution are important terms

into greater cultural interaction)

Local Diversity
(where locals search new ways

to express unique cultural tradition)

Geographers are concerned with the tension between:

of where and why natural forces occur as they

do (e.g. waters, climates, landforms, types of vegetation…)

Social Geography
The studies of where and why human activities are located where they are (e.g. economies, cultures, religions, customs…)

places are created and environmental impacts is major issue
That

should be considered in managing the development of tourism destinations
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments
Tourism has become a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy and geography in some cases being of crucial importance
