2.1) analyze the function of government, government-sponsored bodies and
international agencies in the travel and tourism.
The market researchers of the whole world has analyzed that the functions of government,
government bodies and international agencies have the ability of creating a huge impact on
travel and tourism industry (Lehman et al., 2017). There are several functions of the
government that are followed below,

and government can take part effectively in this process.
 Although, proper changes in rules and strategies can be considered as very important
in travel and tourism industry for establishing the link with other countries which are
directly linked with travel and tourism industry.
Functions of the government-sponsored bodies have great impact on travel and tourism
industry that are detailed below,
 For enhancing the services of the travel and tourism sectors, the government can help
a lot through funding them.
 Travel distribution’s management for linking all the destinations.
 Although, the government sponsored bodies can provide security to the visitors in the

On the other hand, international agencies are considered as very important in travel and

2.2) explain how local and national economic policy influences the success of the travel
and tourism sector.
Local and national economic policy such have great contribution in influencing the success of
the travel and tourism (Vanhove, 2017). Although, functions of the government, international
agencies and government-sponsored bodies such have great impact on enhancing the business
in travel and tourism across the whole world. Although, the changes in infrastructure and
repairing process and heritage maintenance depend on those factors indirectly as the factors
can make such huge revolution in travel and tourism industry.
Hence, the financial conditions are measured by the government. Using social media
platforms for generating a huge a number of visitor has become popular in every industry and
in travel and tourism industry as well. Keeping this on mind, every country which are directly
connected with travel and tourism industry are focusing to promote their business in different
social media platforms. Using websites and travelling app has become a new fashion to the
young generation (Giaoutzi, 2017). Therefore, many of them, are providing travel and tourism
app for giving virtual experience of the tour to the visitors. Although national functions are
also involving themselves in enhancing the travel and tourism industry that can help a lot in
developing the economy of the country.
International agencies are responsible for providing many facilities and benefits in travel and
tourism industry to attract more numbers of visitors to them. The engagement of local bodies
is considered as the important factor on which the investment process needs to depend.
Although, government sponsored bodies help the visitors in any ways by providing them all
accommodation and facilities properly for making a revolution in travel and tourism.

2.3) discuss the implications of political change on the travel and tourism sector in
different countries.
According to market researchers, change
in politics in various countries may such
have the ability of creating huge impact on
travel and tourism industries (Sharpley and
Telfer, 2015). It can be considered that
uncertainty in tourism industries has been
introduced through the Brexit, which
influences the political changes. Therefore,
travel cost and other costs may vary with
the political changes.
Increase in the travelling cost of the
United Kingdom to EU is can be
considered as the example of this. The
labor skill can be reduced to hire
simultaneously from UK workers pool. In
the travel and tourism industries, laws can
impact very much emplacement and
recruitment process (Mowforth and Munt,
2015). The cause of deterioration of the
travel and tourism is funding and
increasing the cost or the regional, local
and national factors of the different
countries. Although, tourist will face the
additional cost problem while travelling to
UK as per the political changes. Therefore,
the negative effect of Brexit can also be
observed in travel and tourism industries.
Hence, people across the whole world may
face some problem regarding poetical
changes, which is not helpful in
developing travel and tourism industries.
The market researchers have analyzed that
political changes can create huge impact
on success of travel and tourism industries.
