Tourism - 1.2 & 1.3

To u r i s m - 1 . 2 & 1 . 3 1.2 - Reasons that led to the growth of tourism (Tourism Growth) 1. Motivation to travel (want) 2. Ability to travel (can) 1. Motivation to travel (want) a. need for relaxation — increasing pressure of work / hectic lifestyle = travel more to relieve stress — people see travelling as a way to rest & rejuvenate — eg. some seek nature to escape their urban environment / rest / enjoy scenic views + providing a different routine (escape their stress/worries = tourism growth) — eg. use any busy city & chill place (New York - Bali) b. need to achieve personal growth & self-fulfilment — people consider travelling as a way for self-growth & achieve their fullest potential — pick up a new skill — eg. cooking schools in Bali to learn their cuisine/food — develop themselves further - improving existing knowledge — eg. travelling to Mecca - Saudi Arabia, to learn about their faith/religion = grow spiritually — fulfil their potential - feel like they are stretched emotionally & physically = personal growth — eg. skydiving/mountain climbing (challenging/adventurous activities) c. need to discover unique travel experiences — travel to satisfy their curiosity = explore different environments & cultures — places that are not widely known = less travelled to — do special / uncommon activities

— globalisation = vast transport network = remote places > major cities = accessible — eg. Antarctica = increased tourists (they want to satisfy their curiosity) 2. Ability to travel (can) ***WA1 a. increase in disposable incomes ^ disposable income = $ you can spend — after WW2 > economic development > increase in disposable income (@ North America / Western Europe / Japan) > greater spending on travel > current time > rapidly developing countries (China / India) = fast growing middle class > large demand for tourism — eg. China = GDP increase = tourism grew (9m to 154m departures) b. increase in leisure time ^ leisure time = time where people are free from work — increased paid leave > more public holidays > shorter working weeks — eg. 2015 China, encouraged employers to give workers paid leaves = boost domestic tourism c. business innovations in tourism-related industries ^ business innovations = provide value for money experiences — businesses provide affordable travel options — eg. introduced tour packages = brought tourism to the masses d. lower transport costs — international tourism = requires air transport - airplanes (has become increasingly affordable) — using fuel efficient planes = reduce fuel costs = flying to airports (cheaper fees) — eg. budget airlines = popular now = lower prices — ^ travelling is affordable now = increase in tourism e. lower accommodation costs — eg. AirBnB = has range of prices = affordable 1.3 - Development of tourist destination regions over time Stages:
