Achievement standard 3.7
Introductory information
Prior Knowledge: What do you know about Global Tourism? France most visited place in world Economic breakdown/recession has
impacted Global Tourism, it has slowed Europeans, Asians and Americans are the
main tourists The Pacific is one of the fastest growing
areas, great resorts, climate and price
Statistics and Data
France is the MOST POPULAR destination in the world. Why?
1950 = 25 million international arrivals
2005 = 806 million
ALL areas in the world have experienced growth, the most dramatic is has been in Asia and the Pacific, followed by the Middle East.
What hemisphere do you think most people like to go to? Why?
Europe and the America’s
share 76% of the global
market share In 1950 they shared
95%
Patterns
In 2001 there was a small decrease (0.5%) in the number of international tourist arrivals, why?
In 2002 the number increased by 2.7%. Cheap airline flights in North America
and Europe have kept growth high. ‘Do it yourself’ booking and planning has become more popular with the internet.
Tourism and the World Economy
6% of worldwide exports of goods and services is from international receipts
Tourism demand depends strongly on economic conditions in generating markets.
A generating market is the place tourists come from.
Income and Tourism
When economies grow (ours isn’t at the moment!), levels of income grow and a large amount of disposable incomes is spent on tourism.
In other words, if you have spare cash, or can save money, you often spend it on a holiday.
GDP
Gross Domestic Product
The gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI), a basic measure of a country's economic performance, is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a nation in a year.
GDP and Tourism
When growth in country (GDP) exceeds 4%, the growth of tourism volume tends to be higher. When it falls, so does tourism growth.
Tourism 2020 Vision
This is a WTO’s (World Trade Organisation) long term vision, forecast and assessment of the first 20 years of this millennium.
They predict patches of fast growth and ones of slow, the outcome being growth, but at a slower rate.
Psychocentric and Allocentric
‘P’sychocentric and ‘A’llocentric create differing patterns of concentration and dispersal.
‘P’ enjoy tourist destinations that are familiar and have “western ammenities”
‘A’ tourist are more adventurous and avoid mass areas like Disneyland
Predictions in Tourism
By 2020, the top 3 regions will be Europe, followed by East Asia, then the Pacific.
Long haul travel worldwide will grow faster. Why?
Overall, growth is predicted to continue
What has caused this GROWTH? Living standards have improved
worldwide Literacy rates have improved Increase in personal incomes Ageing population Increased Leisure time Can travel further, and faster
More GROWTH? Competitive industry, better prices and choice,
eg, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Cooks? Rise in eco-tourism Greater interest in cultures
ALL OF THESE ARE PROCESSES
Significance of Global Tourism Development for People
In 2003, Tourism accounted for 7.6% of world’s total employment (indirect)
And a total of 10.2% of the world’s total GDP
However, there are always positives and negatives of Tourism
Benefits/Positive Effects
Revenue (money) for individuals and Governments
Employment Local jobs, Local goods Preservation of important sites Beautification Rise in property value
Costs/Negative Effects
Over reliance on the Tourist dollar Seasonal employment Mass produced souvenirs,
tokenism Cultures are diluted Crime, drugs, prostitution
(Thailand) Enclaves of tourism, or pockets of
wealth or services that ‘only tourists can use’

Middle East (ie Dubai) continue to be popular
Europe and Americas will loose some of their popularity but remain as the top 2 destinations
Dubai = Growth
Amazing
