TOURISM AS AN INDUSTRY

The exploitation of leisure is increasingly the concern of commerce: team and spectator sports, countryside trips, holiday camps have given way to more individualistic activities – foreign holiday package tours, safaris, spa resorts and deluxe hotels with entertainment programs.

Tourism in some countries is an industry with the potential to grow faster than economy as a whole. Tourism can create jobs faster than any other industry. Travel companies have affiliates and subsidiaries that operate hotels and that offer package tours and operate primarily in many areas: travel, insurance, banking and investment services. In travel, they provide travelers checks, credit cards, travel agencies, tour packages, and agencies for motel and car-rental reservations. They operate regular service on major international routes and perform charter flights, and are involved in aircraft maintenance, repair, and refueling.

Tourism is one of the largest sources of foreign exchange. Enormous sums of money are injected into the economies of some nations by winter and summer tourism. Employment opportunities in the service sector increase substantially. The tourist trade is one of the most important sources of employment and revenue and is served by numerous hotels and boarding houses, youth hostels, restaurants and retail businesses. Many cities are also important centers for international conferences and exhibitions.

Thus, the tourist industry has been actively encouraged by the authorities. Luxury establishments are developed for wealthy foreigners. Many workers find employment in tourism, now continuous through all seasons in many countries, binding the cities’ economies ever more firmly to tourism. Tourism supports the many small businesses that provide food, lodging, fuel, and supplies and services.
