TASK
First chapter
The tourism industry has developed a lot since the development of the cross cultural
connections and with the rich cultural heritage. It is been analysed that tourism has the vital
importance for the success of the economies across the world (Cihangir and Şeremet, 2021) . As
it boost the circulation of the money and revenue , creation of the thousands of the job,
enhances the infrastructure of a country and establish the sense of exchange among cultures
between foreign countries. Tourism enables people to make participation and make them enjoy

the tourism experiences. It generates bundle of satisfying experiences to the people which
provides them benefit in a lot of aspects. As more and more people take the opportunities to
travel and the tourism sector gets the more visitors for the longer seasons with the new
incomes(Su, Lian and Huang, 2020). The the general public it contributes majorly in enhancing
their life with more appropriate way of leading a life.
Having accessible tourism across the countries enables the people to participate more and
enjoy the tourism experiences. Enhancing the accessibility in the tourism sector ensure that the
tourist destinations, products and the services are easily accessible to all the peoples irrespective
of limitations, boundaries and the disabilities that people have(Cooper and Alderman, 2020) .
Having effective accessibility of the tourism impacts the economy of the various nations such as
it enhances the revenue generated from the tax, increase the standard of the people living across
that destinations and the most important it provides the opportunities for more employment with
creation of the new jobs.
Tourism and the entities that relates with the tourism are considered as the stakeholders
which includes business travellers, visitors that visit destinations, governments, local companies,
media, local residents and the entities that develop the tourism. Having right accessibility
enhances the income of these shareholders and impact them on the major basis. Implementing
appropriate policies and the regulations for development results in more developed infrastructure
and more revenue(Costa, 2020). For the destination developers tourism helps in enhancing and
maintaining that sites. For the local residents in enhances their way of leading life, for visitors it
make the understand different cultures and enrich their knowledge and for the local companies it
gives the more skilled employees and more employment opportunities.
Second chapter
With the growing interaction and globalisation tourism is also emerging with the great pace.
This increases the performance of the different economies and their markets. Because tourism
contribute majorly in the generating revenues and image of the particular nations, so nations are
putting their best to attract to the tourists and motivate people to travel more(Goffi, Cucculelli
and Masiero, 2019). Emerging new markets in the countries are more active in attracting tourists
because they know hoe makes a customers satisfied with the effective services. With more
knowledge and skills that helps in providing the unforgettable experience to the customers

motivates the to travel more. Having fulfilled needs of the consumers in the aspects of living,
behaviour of the people, food and environment encourage them to travel more and more.
Tourism is also getting developed with the rise of international events that makes the people of
the country to participate and travel to another country(Hitchcock, King, and Parnwell, 2018).
Economic experience can be enhanced with the goods and services that sold by the particular
economy makes the impact on other's people lives. There is need to makes economic shift in
respect to spend the time and the money which promote democratize happiness. By offering
unique and memorable experience to the tourist economic experienced can be enhanced.
After the pandemic there has been major change in the approaches of the country to deal with
the tourists with new policies and regulations(Jamal, 2019). Now the expectations of the tourist
are turned more towards hygiene, safety and security. Tourist wants that that tour is less risky in
terms of health and wants the coverage of health risk management. There are more accuracy in
terms of travelling and choosing destinations to travel. Pandemic has changes the planning
process as it starts from picking a destination ends with the necessary adjustments in the
activities and the course of action. It is more preferable to travel alone and with families rather
than with the groups of other people(Wang and Wang, 2018). Tourists demands more healthy
environment which gives the memorable experience in their travelling and tours.
Third chapter
Tourism sector is emerging with rapid growth of the communities and societies. It makes
valuable impacts on the people and their thinking process. There are major changes in the way
of conducting the process of tourism(Khalid, Okafor and Burzynska, 2021). With the helps of
exchanging cultures and growing interactions among the countries the thought process and the
way of treating people changes. People are being more aware about their rights and
responsibilities which makes the fight for their rights. As the current scenarios there has been
major increase in the women's participation in the communities lifestyles and the decision
making process(Kumar and Kumar, 2020). Tourism impacts in gender equality and empowering
women to contribute in the diverse cultures.
It is not possible that tourism only contribute positively to the specified country but it has
some negative impacts also. Although the benefits are more in comparison with the negative
impact. There are different factors with their negative and positive impacts, which is discussed

here. In the context of fair and equal rights working and conditions , on this tourism is
contributed positively as with the growing interactions and communications people are becoming
more aware about the individual rights and responsibilities(Milano, Cheer and Novelli, 2019).
Tourism and tourist bring light on this topic with the different opportunities for the people.
Current scenarios enhances the working conditions which develops the society. Other aspect is
gender pay gap, in the tourism industry there is gender pay gap but it is low in comparison to
another industries. Gender pay gap is reducing with the passing time and with the increasing
tourism , there is positive impact on working(Pasaribu, Santosa and Purwoko, 2019). Adding to
that there is unemployment crime, tourism helping very much in generating more working
opportunities. Having no employment force people to achieve basic livelihood through
committing crime. So, enhancing employment results in reduction in unemployment crime.
Further there is development of the destinations which definitely impacted positively through
tourism. Government of the particular country develops the destinations in respect to generate
more revenue and image(Ramaano, 2022). Because of enhancing tourists activities the
authorities tries their best to make constant development in their countries for better
achievements. With that there is ethics and moral behaviour which refers to right and wrong
conduct of behaviour. Having ethical and responsible behaviour encourages more movement of
the tourist on that particular place. In respect to bring more tourist there is need to treat people
more ethically. With the positive there are some negative impacts also of tourism such as
increased pollutions as the movement of the people make increment in the pollution. People
and the activities bring pollution (Sharpley, 2018). Another major negative impact increasing
pressure on the endangered species, When people move from one place to another they
directly or indirectly makes impacts on the species. Such as for the accommodations of the
tourist hotels and resorts are builds at the places by cutting down forests. This impacts the living
of the animals also the pollution created by the humans whether it is noise pollution, marine
pollution, air pollution affects the animals and their lives. Also creation of the places and the
infrastructure for the people results in heavy soil loss and mining. Building roads and ways are
majorly contributed in the animals live as the natural habitat loss(Sio-Chong and So, 2020).
These are the positive and the negative impacts of the tourism and tourists.
