A.
Люди стали больше путешествовать из-за желания развлечься, отдохнуть и расширить свой кругозор.
Люди, путешествующие для отдыха, образуют рынок, характеризующийся эластичностью спроса по ценам.
Туризм – относительно новое явление в мире. Туризм начался со строительством железных дорог в XIX веке.
Первый тур, в его современном понимании, был организован Томасом Куком в 1841 году, а фирма «Томас Кук и Сыновья» остаётся одной из самых выдающихся в индустрии туризма.
Инсентивная поездка является хорошим поощрением для рабочих.
В нашем городе немного туристических фирм, заслуживающих доверия.
Основная цель его визита – организовать тур для людей, интересующихся древними цивилизациями.
Эта реклама рассчитана на людей с высоким чистым доходом.
Индустрия туризма очень быстро развивается во всем мире. Развитие туризма в разных регионах зависит от многих факторов.
На рынке туризма существует жесткая конкуренция.
Люди путешествуют по разным причинам, поэтому классификация в туризме очень усложнена.
Люди, которые вынуждены путешествовать в целях поиска работы, не являются туристами.
Люди, которые часто ездят в командировки, стараются сочетать приятное с полезным и пользуются теми же средствами передвижения, местами проживания и питания, что и обыкновенные туристы.
Развитие туризма во многом зависит от общего экономического развития страны.
B.
После Второй мировой войны международный туризм начал бурно развиваться во всем мире. Особую роль в этом сыграли: рост численности населения в индустриальных странах, увеличение оплачиваемых отпусков и повышение доходов населения. Массовый туристский пакет получил развитие благодаря включению в него перелетов на реактивных широкофюзеляжных самолетах. Кроме того, развитию международного туризма способствовал существенный рост бизнес-путешествий.
Международный туризм показал себя надежным видом экономики вопреки многим отрицательным факторам, таким как политическая и экономическая нестабильность во многих частях мира, усиление терроризма и т.д. Как правило, во время экономического спада спрос или оставался неизменным, или вскоре после «выздоровления» экономики возвращался на прежний уровень.
2. Международный туризм в России переживает не самые лучшие времена, что связано, прежде всего, с политической и экономической нестабильностью. Эти обстоятельства отпугивают, с одной стороны, потенциальных иностранных гостей от визитов в нашу страну, а с другой – иностранных бизнесменов от вложения денег в развитие туристкой инфраструктуры в России.
Становление в России современного конкурентоспособного туристского комплекса связано с решением ряда актуальных задач, таких как создание основ системы государственного регулирования туристской деятельности, формирование современного отечественного туристского рынка на основе развития конкуренции, обеспечение условий для развития различных видов внутреннего и въездного туризма, интеграции России в систему мирового туристского рынка.
