2.3 Implications of political changes in travel industry
TRAVEL AND TOURISM SECTOR
Date: 29th July 2017
Political stability are the important aspects for every country. Thus it results in reduction in the
conditions of safety and security. This situations helps in establishing good working
environment and improvement in economic conditions. If government are unstable than it
creates negative impacts on minds of travellers.
Political stability is an important aspect for travel industry because if the policies
changes than it will affect the whole business of travel department and the customers will be
dissatisfied. Thus political changes creates instability in economy which results in decline in
business activities.
After Brexit, Britain was removed from EU reflects the positive influences. There was
increase in number of Chinese travellers from UK because the rate of pounds were less in
comparison with Yarn. The validity of visa were increased from two to six years. Different new
centres for visa were opened which are helpful in increasing tourist from Chinese. Thus these
situations were helpful in growth of tourist sectors as there is increase in number of travellers. It
can be analysed that UK wants to attract more travellers in their countries. This is an example of
modifications in politics of UK with positive outcomes.
Different implications of political changes are described as
 It helps in creating conditions which implies that locations should not be favoured while
8

plans are made for travelling from one destination to another.
 Results in improper development of tourism industry.
 It is difficult to understand the plans and policies which are designed for country
because of changes made by government.
 Increase or decrease in currency rates can be helpful in increasing the number of
customers.
 The plans should be developed according to tourist requirement as it is also a political
activities.
Thus it is analysed that political stability are important for the economy and they
provide success to development of travel industry. They provide security to customers who are
travelling thus attracting large group of customers. TUI groups had to formulate the strategies
by considering changes in the organisation.
TASK 3
3.1 Element affecting tourism demand
There are different factors which are affecting demands of tourist. These are essential
elements which are helpful in increasing demands of tourist. The factors are classified into
following aspects as:
Economy: If the currency rates in the economy are high than it affects the demands of
tourist in economy. The factors which affect the demands includes income levels, purchasing
powers of customers, supply in economy etc. (Medlik, 2012). All these are the economical
factors which are affecting demands in the economy. The tourism sector is mostly affected by the
rates of interest and inflations rates in the economy.
Example: In the representative areas if there is inflation than no tourist will like to travel to those
places. This factors influences the tourist ratios in the economy.
Political: It includes different aspects like government stabilities in economy. If there is
no government stability in economy than it will affect the tourism business to a greater extent
which influences the profit ratios. Thus there is a big question evolved on the safety and security
of customers. Thus it had become one of the most critical issues. This factor is mostly affecting
the travel industry.

Crises and Threats: They are referred to as the unexpected calamities that are affecting
the transport facilities towards reaching at the final destinations. This factor is not in hands of
anyone and they are belonging to the nations. This is the main threat which are affecting the
operations of the tourist department and many times the whole business process are stopped due
to these situations. Hence these aspects cannot be controlled by any individual and they directly
affect the natural environment (Kimbu, 2013).
Demographic Changes: If the selected firms are not able to fulfil the needs and the
demands of customers than it greatly affects the demands of the travel industry. If they are not
successful in achieving the positive results than their business activities had to be stopped. Hence
this factor implies that each unit had to take into consideration each group in order to provide
them services according to the different cultures to which people belong.
Technology: This factor is widely used by TUI group in order to expand there business
activities all around the globe. There are achieving higher growth after changes are made in
technological developments. This helps in spreading out there business operations all around the
globe. Technological developments are helpful in making the work process easily in order to
meet their targets (Ngoasong, 2013).
Example: In the modern era people can book their tickets by sitting at home with the help
of world wide networks. This save there times as they will not stand in long line waiting for their
chance.
Thus this is the major aspects because of which business operations have rapidly expanded at
national and internationals levels.
3.2 Alteration in supply to meet the effects of demand
The supply factor can be achieved which is equal to its demand by fulfilling the demands
of people in the economy. This is beneficial in achievement of the equilibrium points where
demands are always equal to their supply factor. The supply factor in the economy comprises of
five factors which includes transportation, attraction, services, promotion and information. From
all the above supply factor attractions are the important aspects.
Demands in tourism sectors are related with the famous places where the tourist will go
to visit. Thus the TUI groups had to maintain the demands of their tourist in travel industry. This
can be controlled if quality services are given to their customers.
