INTRODUCTION
Tourism is one of the most crucial factors of the worldwide economy. It produces
millions of dollars in income and millions of occupation globally. It is included through many
communities especially in raising nations the only tool for improvement and the only possibility
for growing the quality of life. However, the tourism industry has stretched from seaside of
mountain resorts and from small towns to big cities, but at the similar time, this started to
present it negative part. Both operations of capitalist are having negative impacts on the socio
culture values and environmental inventory of host society all over the globe ( María Martín‐
Martín,Ostos‐Rey and Salinas‐Fernández,2019). In this report will explain about the impact of
tourism on society from three perspectives economic , social and cultural and environmental.
From the economic assumption, tourism produces wealth and jobs, but the income leaks from the
society and the occupation are majorly low in come. From the socio culture perspective, tourism
bring together people from various background, trends and culture as well as promotes peace.
But at the similar time because of globalisation certain nations has lost their cultural identity
and provide way to a attractiveness of their local areas or town. This helped have been
proven to be a issue due to the pollution they produce. These businesses can also be ashamed
for a complete disrespect to local culture and the surroundings. The major issues from these
negative effects is that the local community is the only side that picks up the check for all the
damages on the trends tradition and most importnat on the surroundings. In this essay discuss
the relation among tourism and society via the investigation of relevant sociologist theories ,
principles and practices also to determine how various sociocultural. Political and economic
content attracts principles of sustainability. Further more it will explain about analysis of the
interaction and interdependence of people, along with the places and process included In tourism
industry.
MAIN BODY
Define Tourism and Society taking into consideration the interrelationship between the two
phenomena.
Tourism is multidimensional phenomenon which are form of activity, rebranding form
and industry of national economy at the same time. Variability of this industry keeps forward

and assessment of comprehension attracts of tourism in number of the major tasks of analysis. In
instance interrelation of and economic, social, humanities, ecological , political role of tourism
in modern society are stated. Basically, in economic role of tourism the future forecast of
complexity of the global revenue of the tourist industry testing to a sustainability development
of the analysed industry is submitted. In order to the aim of a sustainable improvement of
tourism is created (Maguire, 2022.). As a indicator of characteristics or aim of sustainable
development of tourism are being kept. Tourism has traditionally been analysed systematically,
on the basis stability, equilibrium and predictability so as to he capable to construct theory in
which any modifications can be seen and hence managed. In the observations of this practices a
tourism system functions like a machine in which stability, order, regularity and reaction are the
norm in a status in which is seen as consonant. Any alteration is seen as an unseen disturbance
to the system, certain of the basic to which a solution has to be found so as to restore all things
to its natural state of balance. These systems have a linear behaviour in which any alteration is
foreseeable and can be predicted and controlled with precision.
According to the United nations World Tourism organisation. Tourism entails the
movement of people to nations or places outside their usual atmosphere for personal and
professional purpose. It is the activity in which the person moves from place to another place for
the aim of reaction and the identification of tourist sites. The person who reaches out this activity
is known as the tourist. It is divided into snub sections, it is the specifically importance for the
advantageous of the nation as a whole and citizens in specific ,just as tourism is an essential
source of funds and raising the national income of the country. Some nations rely majorly on
tourism to give capital and construct projects in them. Giving job opportunity for regional and
thus unemployment rate. The transaction of trends and thoughts among tourist and the nation
population.
Tourist life cycle model it is launched by Butler model as well as also known as six stage
model of tourism life cycle model. It consist six factors which describe this more better that are
first stage of this theory is Exploration , this introduces a some people which are found of
adventure and new things during staying and going to another destination for holiday . It include
culture, natural beauty and history or landscape. There might be no tourist services accessible
and local people will not included in tourist money making activity. Another factor is
Involvement , this states local people start to notice that there are rasing number of people

coming to their local area. They launch business to give accommodation, food,, guides and
many other. Third factor of this is Development, this shows that big companies begins to see in
the emerging possibility of destination as a tourist place as well as start to invest money in
region. They make huge hotel and accommodation services (Qiu and et.,al., 2019). This creates
amount of tourists swell dramatically and extremely expands the amount of job opportunity for
people in the local region. After that it consists consolidation, at this stage local economy is
propbably dominating by tourism and many local people will make their capital from this kind
of industry. This reduce the focus of people from other business they all concentrate on this
tourism industry. In another stage it consist Stagnation, in this competition from another hotels
it creates a loss of original factors . The number of people moving level off then starts to
reduce forbidding local business and services. In last stage this model states Decline or
Rejuvenation, this reduces or slow down and regular visitors are replaced by people seeking a
cheap break or day trippers. Greening includes a cash injection from either a private company or
the government to make a new attraction within the original resorts to raise its brand value
(Lee, Field and Burch, 2019)..
Pestle Analysis -
It is the framework which helps in analysing the inetrnal and external factors whihch
effects on business. There are different factors that impacts the tourism in negatively and
positively both ways .
In political factors of tourism industry refers the governing regulation and intervention in
economy. UK gives the huge possibility for business with the government policy to traveller and
it also states by the government tourism plans. There are fee evolution of people and its very
crucial for tourism industry . Huge spending nation population covers to visits and its is more
advantageous tourism industry of UK, but there have certain negative effects the tourism
industry.
In economic factors travel industry is the fastest growing industry for nation economy.
Due to this there are some people afford to go on vacations in different country factors and
some are unable to go so it also impacts the tourism industry in both impacts. It also helps in
rising the income level of economy and give the better economic models for business just as
governing also take the different practices steps to influence to their places.

In social factors, tourism industry attain a social standing due to there are different issues in
community so people are more friendly towards the travel and tourism. It is the positive effect
that many people travel. Communities experience the different languages, culture,tradition and
religions.
In technological factors, it plays an important role in the growth and development of
tourism industry along with that it develops the system it helps in booking tickets online and
many others. These industry can also use the social media platform to reach their buyers.
In environmental factors , the travel industry lead in the increment of pollution from
different manner . It pollutes the surrounding. The weather change crisis support the content of
reduce pollution causes by tourist. Main challenge are causing by the mass tourism due to they
damage to congestion, ecosystem and pollution.
In legal factors , It is long and time taking process for another country travelling.
Government gives the tourists through it helps in raising the economy as well as different
banks which also give the loans for tourism and its helpful to travel globally (Kono and et.,al.,
2020).
Explain the tourist typology and behaviour, travel motivation , authenticity, cultural differences
and historic events.
It is basically the study of different tourist. It objectives is to raise the education of user
behaviour in tourism. It assist in creating crucial decisions on goods development, product
pricing and many more. There are some typologies which is explained in this report. Cohen
tourist typology , the author is segmented tourist in Four categories first one is organized mass
tourists it elaborates high tourists are extremely dependent on surroundings. They are
characterised by complete packaged holidays, they usually take up western style
accommodation. Second one is categorised as individual mass tourist, this is use institutional
services of the tourism system just as schedule flights, centralized booking and many others.
They are in favour of travelling individually along with that they stay on the beaten track.
Other classification as Explorer, this is kind of tourist which objectives at newly wit comfort
they like to have accommodation on the modern amenities. Last segmentation as Drifer, this
kind of tourist looks at the innovations at any cost even discomfort and hazardous. They
immerse fully in the local community as well as term of stay is long.

Tourism behaviour is the consumer behaviour in the updating and buying of travelling
services. These are considerable as intangible services and it makes complex to market. The
group tourist together is the typology on the basis of shares classification. There are different
kinds if tourist just as organizational mass, individual mass. In the context of business mass,
those tourist packages who buy the tourist packages in order to visit the classical mass tourism
destination. There is no sense of exploration and adventure. The individual mass tourist are also
similar as the business tourist because this kind of tourist fully depends on the tourism industry
with predetermined packages. The expectation of tourist are convenience, efficiency. Comfort,
privacy, space and reliability. They assume that their travelling must be good and experienced
as well as memorable too. The major aim of the tourist travel are now exocrine , pleasure,
recreation and cultural involvement and many others. It also based on the motivation of tourist
that they introduce new things, people, places and many others.
Motivation is also the main determination of the tourist behaviour. There are two kinds of
motivation just as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The push and pull is the travel motivation
concept that assists in motivate the tourist. The pull encourages are stimulates by the location
and consists the components just as historic sites and attractive places and many others.
Whereas, the pull factors consist the freedom, play etc. thus the push factor consists social
pressure at home and neglect of occupation. In the context of extrinsic motivation tourist are
motivated by external components due to tourist prefer various places events ,and many others.
On the other side intrinsic motivation is drives tourist from inside which include rewards,
assurance, emotions and many others (Ito, 2021).
CONCLUSION
It is concluded from above report that tourism is huge industry in global country which
brings together all people and grow the social communication with all each other. it assists in
producing the more profits for nation and also helps in growing the system of country with
different growth and development which are most important for governing to influence more
people and visit to visits. The future impact of tourism on society assists in growing the more
attraction and give good experience and also complete the expectations of travellers. The travel
and tourism will be sustainable for up coming .

TASK 2
INTRODUCTION
Tourism has been considered as most important factor of the global economy as it
produce million of opportunity of jobs across the world wide and also produce billions of the
dollars in income. Some societies, specifically emerging countries has involved the tourism as
mode of development along with that it majorly contributes in growth of economic rates in
exporting and importing in foreign investment development. This helps in developing the tourist
spots and historic building it also helps the local people in having a good standard of living as
well as also creates a way for earning income. Similarly, this has start showing it negative side
as both the action of tourist and investors are having adverse impacts in the environment
inventory and social cultural values of host communities by the global country. Major
objectives of this essay is to determine impact of the tourism on community from prime three
factors which are environmental, economic and social and cultural. From the prospective of
economy , tourism produces job opportunity and income but these are not sufficient for people
in order to have a good standard of living (Gibson, H.J., and et.,al., 2018). Whereas, while
talking about social culture respective, then it had been determined that tourism brings take all
together from assorted culture and tradition, promote the peace. But at the same time, because of
internationalisation some nations have lost their cultural determination and provide a mode to be
more attractive for town and village. As it had been analysed that in tourism, there is less
capable to involve in the development initiatives, hence respective essay will discuss the
challenges concerned with equality, access and involvers in tourism. This essay will illustrate
that how tourism industry has improved and become more accessible to the consumer with the
use of fee statics. On the other side there will be a discussion on emergence of the new in tourism
section to that facilates increasing customers requirements and motivation to travel positive and
neagtive impact of the tourism on the society and global destination.
MAIN BODY
The first section covers that tourism industry has improved a lot within UK as the
respective nation has a rich cultural heritage. The industry has specifically given benefits to the
economies to the improving countries, where almost employment of tourism sector along with
that business have been created (Fang, W.T., 2020) . The tourism industry has been

produced .the tourism industry has been developed hand in hand with quick improvement within
the technologies, communications with the practices or techniques which are directed with the
procedure of commercialisation. In the 1950 the globe has introduced 25 million global
tourists according to the data given by united world tourist organisation during at the end of year
2019, this scale has grown up with the 1.5 billions. In this ways the tourism industry has been
developed in an appropriate manner. Other mode in which the tourism industry has been
develop is consist of quick innovation within the transportation system that had helped in
enabling more and more people to travel. The respective nation has constantly supporting to a
higher Gross domestic product in most of nations on an international scale. The emergence of
British nations as well as the tendency for the citizens of well developed nations for moving to
new place are consider as the key reasons. The tourism industry has become more accessible to
the users in such a manner that it had grown the quality along with the availability to the users
in such a manner that it has grown the quality along with that enjoyment level of all the
developing features judgements within the availability of the tourism services. Improving
functions analysis to a facility giving accurate details, knowing requirements of disabled
outcomes in raised number of different accurate details, knowing requirements of disabled
people outcomes in growing amount of visitors which presents accessibility of tourism industry
to buyers (Dias, and et.,al., 2020).
According to the statics it has been evaluated that international tourism analysed a strong
rebound within the first five months of 2022 with arrivals covering almost half of similar period
of 2019. as per the study around 250 million global trips were recorded globally by may 2022
and compare with 77 million arrivals seen in similar month of the year 2021. major unit of the
stakeholders consists businesses , tourists, governing,local community, special involvement
groups and educational institutional. The adverse impacts of over tourism consist of down rated
tourist experience, damage to nature , alienated local residents, overloaded infrastructure along
with that threats to historic culture and trends (Corbisiero and La Rocca, 2020.).
As per second chapter new market in the tourism industry had motivate the buyers by
modifying their behaviour and attitudes towards the travel. Within tourism industry there are
different importance new growing market that move the individual behaviour . The present and
emerging travel market also link to the outbreak of covid. Few of these location are listed below :

Lifestyle factors there are different factors which are influencing the travel trends by
the global and motivating people to travel. Interest over animal welfare and health tend to grow
in the organic food and raising in the vegan diet. Thus, eco friendly market had become very
popular among the individualist along with a concentration on the local education that actuate
people to travel without any stress.
Active ecotourism it is another area and treat that had emerged in tourism in response to
calls in order to have more sustainable and memorable tourism. It encourages people combining
the passion for travel with a straight engagement in the conservation and supporting local
atmosphere. This area of tourism has been growing and constantly consist travel to the
destination where natural and cultural heritage are primary attractions and concentrate on the
local culture, raising wildlife nature and learning the new easy to live on planet. Thus, it
motivates people to travel as it serve them an view in to effect of the mankind on the nature or
surrounding and foster appreciation on their natural habitats (Collins-Kreiner, 2020).
Sustainable tourism many travellers has implemented this mindset thus making their
travel decision with atmosphere in the mind. It is important to consider that sustainability is not
wanted about atmosphere or nature. It is also connected to the creating a positive effect on
economics and trends. In post covid sustainability has become a constant culture in this industry.
If company play their part to kept sustainability, then it assist them in earning trust and honesty
of producing of the tourists who are spreading these market. Thus, sustainability tourism also
customers inspire them to travel at various destinations.
Digitalisation in current era tourist are equipped with the current and modern
technology. Individual can book their online tickets. They can also make a payment by
technology. Thus, it create their journey very easy and safe, that motivates people to travel
without facing any issues (Bideci, 2021).
The third section consist that the tourism industry is included as one of section that is
most impacted by the pandemic situation of covid 19. it have been hugely influenced livelihoods
economics, opportunity as well ad public services within the global world. By tourism the female
and balance access to the resources ownership, technology, finance and management that plays
a huge role in empowering the female for taking more active as well ad similar involvement

within the society with the dynamic behaviour to huge acceptance. Tourism can give
employment and along with that, it also develops for the reason of becoming famous along with
that developing the quality of life for their people. But when the huge amount of the amount of
the tourists go to one place then it is explained as mass tourism. it can have both positive along
with the adverse effects on the area or location. The positive effects of the production of more
money for the nation. Increasing demand for the local food and handy craft and many more.
Some another effects also covers local traditions along with the new services for the travellers
also advantages local like new roads are another positive effects on the global location. On the
other side, the negative effect of tourist on global destination consist the jobs are often seasonal
on the time along with the poorly paid most money goes out of the area to the huge business not
locals and cultural and traditional modification as people from different region come and many
others. Some local shops are tourists are often more wealthy in comparison to the regional
population and overcrowding along with that as traffic jams and some another illustration of
bad effects of tourism on global destination. In instance, most of the basic positive effects on
the having local trends, analysis, arts and handy crafts along with the trends, empowering host
communities as well as with strengthening the cultural values (Agapito, 2020).
CONCLUSION
As per the above essay it is concluded that tourism helped in making national parks and
secured areas. Where various and unique examples of nature and atmosphere which can be
determined but traveller have been evidenced to be an issue due to pollution that they produce
traveller businessmen also be blamed for disrespect to the local culture and the environment.
Main issues from all these adverse impacts is that local community is only side which takes up
the check for all damages on the tradition, culture as well as most crucial on surrounding. On
the other side in this project it have been determined that available tourism able the individual
with access needed including mobility, hearing and cognitive dimensions of access, sights to
function freely or with similarity and self-worth by delivery of globally designed motivate
individual to travel more. In instance sustainable tourism use of current technology and many
more assist to travel more. Along with this it has been analysed that tourism effect the
community and world in both negative and positive manner. Although optimistic impacts of
tourism are many link to the economic benefits just as employments, investments, infrastructure
and many more. However it negatively impact consist on socio cultural costs. Hence, it has

keep in mind effect of one actions as a traveller on surroundings and local assemblage. Ethics
and moral cognition will create the tourism more appropriate a determinative the individual
efficiency.
