INTRODUCTION
Tourism industry is one of the leading industry in the current and future generation as
majority of the people want to explore different region of countries (Camilleri, 2018). Many
places are located at different region and all have their unique identification. Tourism is one of
the way to increase economy of country that also enhance the global economy. In many cities,
only source of income is tourism for livelihood of locals so from the mountains to sea, small
town to metropolitan cities, tourism play an important part in terms of earning source.
Developing or emerging country only have this tools to come on the path of development. On the
other hand, tourism have their negative side in which equality is not according to rights of
government.
Equality is necessary in the tourism industry because people are belong to the different
culture, lifestyle and colour complexion so it is not acceptable by every one that create an
inequality and the destination is not comes under in global destination as some people doesn't
want to explore place where inequality taken place so it is important for future development of
global destination. Tourism industry increase day by day and all the element which are required
for travelling is in coordination and managed so by this it makes a tourism destination and that
increase the economy and employment rate of the country which is quite beneficiary for the
growth. Many people are from different traditions so it is necessary for tourism to take care of
each belonging. Basically consumer of traveller are those who travel international and their
expectation increases in a subsequent manner so that is correct at certain level but it has not good
effect on the tourism as the expenditure rate increases to fulfil their need.
MAIN BODY
First chapter
How the tourism industry has developed and become more accessible to consumers;
In the ancient time people are not aware about the tourism as much, and they didn't have
much interest in exploring different region (Gillovic and McIntosh, 2020.). In the initial phase
tourism didn't get too much profit from their business but technologies are increase drastically
from past few decades and that create a great impact on the tourism. People were took interest on
the paces which have their records and beauty. For example Eiffel Tower which is located in
Paris. This place is too attractive and people want to visit that place for higher amount of
tourism rate some tourist company take a benefit of target audience in terms of interest and apply

some offer for the visitors (Valeri and Baggio, 2020.). Tourist company give various services to
their visitors and earn lot of money from the international visitors. Tourism industry attentive
towards the consumers demands in terms of hospitality sector, travel sector etc. many tourist
want a luxury hotels and stay so company provide them according to their need that enhance the
over all growth of the tourism industry which also helps sub- sector in earning higher amount of
profit margin.
Economic impact of tourism
Tourism is third largest sector which contribute higher share to the economy of country
after chemical and fuel export (Ivars-Baidal and et.al., 2021.). The main reason behind that is
number of tourism increase globally and that have a great impact on the tourism industry and on
the global economy. There are various reason of increasing rate of tourism such are enhancement
in technology, increasing budget of airlines, consumers desire in term of exploring and many
more. The stakeholder of tourism are visitors, government, tourist company and competitors.
Visitors want to explore places which needs capital for travelling that increase the economy of
country (Koburtay, Syed and Haloub, 2020.). At different place, tax rate are also different so
that have a positive impact on tourism. In some country government also invest in tourism for
enhancement in the employment rate because if tourism increases than locals have works for
living that result in GDP increment. Tourist company have high competition in the market so
thereby tourist company focus on the infrastructure and ambience by which tourist attract
towards them. Many tourist company are there, and they all want to come in competition by
investing more amount of money in their sector and achieve measurable amount of profit that
also increase the economy of country (Buhalis and Sinarta, 2019).
Second Chapter
Discussion of the emergence of new markets within the tourism industry to facilitate increasing
consumer needs and motivations to travel.
Tourism industry is self proven that it is one of the profitable industry in the world and
with expansion in the tourist industry many emerging market are grown successfully (Navarro-
Jurado and et.al., 2019.). Tourism industry provide various opportunity to locals of particular
place by which they earn their wages in an appropriate manner. The business which grow in a
subsequent manner is online transaction. In the currently growing world, customers shift
towards cashless transaction o thereby many online transaction it its peak. One another market

which have their unique place in tourism and that is photography. Everyone wants to collect
memory from destination places and that enhance employment rate of country. Many agencies of
photographer are operated in near to tourist place which focus on the profitability. Another
business which has its own importance in tourism in guiding. Every information is not available
on the internet some history related to tourist is well-known by the locals, and they tell that in a
story format so visitors get accurate guide of tourist spot.
There are huge diversity of people are live in all over world and all have different tongue
of language and it is not possible for everyone to know each and every language so for creating
an interest in tourist one market which grow in drastic manner is translating services. That al
above market increases interest of tourist which results in profitability of each business (Yachin,
2018.). Olympic and F1 sports are increases and players are belonged to different region, so they
also enhance tourism rate because they all want to participate in Olympics and sports and that all
organised at d9ifferent places every year. Customers expectation is more according to the
destination thereby all management work according to demand of tourist which in turn a fruitful
behaviour of the tourist (Yousaf, Amin and C Santos, 2018.). Travelling need mode so there are
basically three type of travelling method such are
 Air way- basically travel by aeroplane, private jet, etc. this method is generally used to
cover long distance and consume less time in travelling. The expenses are quite high.
 Water way- travel is done by the ship, boat, etc. majorly this method id used by coastline
Peoples. Require more time in reaching at the destination with higher amount of expense.
 Road way- this is the cheapest method of travelling among three and travel by bus and
train (Асадов, and Аминова., 2020.). It acquires more time and less money in
comparison to other method.
Third Chapter
Impact of the tourism industry
Tourism industry is leading industry which have spread all over the world. Globally,
there are diversity of culture, lifestyle and behaviour and some people get easily adjust at the
new place and some are not. So on basis of above discussion it can be said that tourism has both
negative and positive impact of tourism on global destination and furthermore on society.
Positive impact

Economical– tourism increase the employment rate by various business which is basically had
their uniqueness in terms of earning money from the market (Figini and Patuelli, 2022.). So
tourism increase economy of country or global destination. Tourism increases day by day and
that also increases tax of particular places increase as they are point of interest of majority of
population. International tourist pay more than domestic tourist basically this condition arise
because currency is different which creates impact on the economy of country.
Social- each tourist place are located at different region or sties and every region differ in the
culture, behaviour, etc. so visitors or tourist are familiar with a culture which may differ from
their own culture, but they learn different culture value and ethics, and tourism also understand
family values as they are lived apart from their family. Tourist also tolerate some betrayal at
some places so that enhance patience of tolerance of some non- acceptable things (Ferguson,
2018.).
Environmental- there are many places which are not recognized or in focus of tourist so the
tourist number is less at particular but the some people are well-known about that place which
have interest on exploring such place and hotels are not in greater amount but only hotels which
are placed at such type of spot charge more for stay that create a positive impact on the tourism
(Dolnicar, 2020.).
Negative impact
Economic- some places are most visited place and have their records so tourist number is more at
that place which create disturbance in hospitality sector as they didn't work according to
acceptation of the tourist thereby tourism not experience a fruitful accommodation and service
that create negative impact on the economy of tourism. Gender inequality are also present at
some places which means that female didn't get job in the hospitality sector (Cole, 2018.).
Social- most of the population want to visit tourist places and some places are drastically distinct
and family trip are fruitful for such place because that create a negative impact on youngster as
they are not aware about actual lifestyle of locals on some tourist places. Family not like such
type of place and covid -19 pandemic crises was also there (Rather, 2021.). Crimes at some place
increase that also deplete tourism because fear of losing is the point of concern for everyone.
Environmental- with increasing rate of tourism, pollution also increases which means that tourist
place are most visited in past few decades as interest of people increase in the field of tourism.
Pollution is increase that affects environment drastically and abundant amount of resource are

required for fulfilling needs of tourist, so many natural place affect in a negative manner. that
all affect the life of animals as there habitat is scotch by the humans and many species are comes
under in endangered or extinct.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion of tourism and society it can be concluded that tourism
industry increases their market value in terms of profit and economy. Tourism industry is comes
under in growing industry in the world. Tourism spread over world many places which relates to
mountain, sea, villages are come under this business as some region have only sourced of
income. Chapter one, It had been clear from the above discussion that majority of people are
interested in tour and travel but in the seventeenth or eighteenth century people are not much
aware about the tourism because technology are not much spread at that time so tourism increase
with increase in advancement of technology and also discussed the economic impact of tourism
on stakeholders.
In the second chapter this report discussed on the topic of emerging new market within
tourism business. Many tourist interest in doing different type of activity at tourist spots so
thereby many other business grow with tourism and such business are photography, language
translators, guide which create a recognizable performance in earning profit that result in
enhancement in the economy of the country and methods of travel are also gave by the report. In
third chapter this report had briefly described the negative and positive impact of tourism on
economy that also include the equality among gender, discrimination in white and black,
working right and condition of employees of tourist company. Each industry has its cos and
porns so it has too. Inequality among gender at working place are common and discrimination in
colour complexion have a drastically converse impact on the economy as the whites are not
interested in making interaction with the blacks so many people loss their confidence and didn't
want to explore tourist spots.
