OVERVIEW OF MY SUBJECT AREA

International Tourism Management

Today tourism is probably the industry which can avail itself of the greatest number of possibilites for expansion, both on a national and international level.
Tourism is able to contribute to development which is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable, because it:
  • has less impact on natural resources and the evironment than most other industries
  • is based on enjoinment and appreciation of local culture,built heritage and natural environment as such the industry has a direct interest to protect those assets
  • can play a positive part in increasing consumer commitment to support underdeveloped countries
  • provides an economic incentive to conserve natural environments and habitats which might be otherwise damage by an unconscientious land uses (maintain bio-diversity)
