2
Learning Objectives
  • Explain the three major economic impacts of
    tourism on destination areas and how these
    impacts are measured

    impact of tourism and how tourisms role in
    economic development can be analyzed.
  • Discuss the potentially negative social and
    cultural impacts of tourism on destination areas.
  • Identify the positive social and cultural impacts
    that may result from tourism.
  • Describe the potentially negative environmental
    impacts of tourism on destination areas.

    may result from tourism.
  • Explain the principles of sustainable tourism
    development.

3
Three Major Economic Impacts of Tourism
  • Increasing foreign exchange earnings
  • Increasing income
  • Increasing employment

4
Strategies for Maximizing the Economic Impact of
Tourism
  • Encouraging import substitution
  • Implementing incentive programs
  • Dealing with multinational companies

5
Potentially Negative Socio-cultural Impacts of
Tourism
  • Damage to family structures and subsistence food
    production.
  • Displacement of local people to make way for
    airports, resorts, nature reserves, historical
    and other attraction sites, and other tourism
    development projects.
  • Encouragement of behaviors such as begging,
    touting, and other harassment of visitors.

6
Potentially Negative Socio-cultural Impacts of
Tourism
  • Encouragement of urbanization and emigration.
  • Friction and resentment between local people and
    visitors because of overcrowding and lack of
    access for residents to recreational areas and
    facilities.
  • Increase in health risks through diseases such as
    AIDS, malaria, hepatitis, and influenza.

7
Potentially Negative Socio-cultural Impacts of
Tourism
  • Increase in drug abuse and prostitution.
  • Open antagonism and crimes against visitors.
  • Commercialization of traditional welcome and
    hospitality customs.
  • Loss of cultural identity.
  • Overcrowding and damage to archaeological and
    historical sites and monuments.

8
Positive Socio-cultural Impacts of Tourism
  • May encourage attempts to keep culture and
    traditions alive.
  • Traditional ways and goods may be restored
    because visitors are interested and are willing
    buyers of these.
  • Festivals staged for visitors help to keep local
    cultures alive.

9
Potentially Negative Environmental Impacts of
Tourism
  • Changes of land use.
  • Congestion and air pollution.
  • Contribution to worldwide environmental problems.
  • Deterioration and disturbance of the natural
    ecology.
  • Deterioration of archaeological, historical,
    architectural, and natural sites.

10
Potentially Negative Environmental Impacts of
Tourism
  • Impacts of foot traffic.
  • Pollution of beaches, lakes, rivers, and
    underground water.
  • Visual clutter.
  • Insufficient utility service capacities.

11
Positive Environmental Impacts of Tourism
  • Greater protection of specific ecosystems.
  • More control of harmful economic activities such
    as logging and commercial fishing.
  • Part of visitor expenditures may be reinvested in
    research and better conservation programs.
  • Greater understanding among local residents of
    environmental issues.

12
Principles of Sustainable Tourism Development
  • Ecological sustainability
  • Social and cultural sustainability
  • Economic sustainability

13
Sustainable tourism development
  • Three main principles (McIntyre, 1993)
  • Ecological sustainability
  • Social and cultural sustainability
  • Economic sustainability

Ecological Sustainability
16
Tourism-related consumption has three stages of
impact
  • First, prior to departure, tourists purchase
    travel-related clothing and equipment.
  • Second, when tourists travel long distances to
    tourist destinations, they create considerable
    atmospheric pollution and other impacts on the
    global environment.
  • Third, upon arrival at the tourist destination,
    tourists often continue their accustomed habits
    of consumption

17
Other impact environment activities
  • high altitude emissions from long distance air
    travel
  • Marine dumping of wastes from cruise ships
  • little public information is available on the
    environmental and social impacts of long distance
    travel

18
Consequences
  • Degradation of local water and soil quality into
    a vicious circle
  • Reduced access by local residents to land,
    housing and marine resources

19
Solutions
  • Green tourism eco-tourism
  • Solutions to tourism-related pollution in the
    travel and tourism industry are technologically
    available.
  • The industry has every opportunity to institute
    voluntary initiatives and self-regulation to
    address green tourism advocates and those calling
    for government regulation.
  • The establishment of formal environmental
    management systems (EMSs) in each business
    establishment

20
Solutions continue
  • The establishment of waste reduction programs
  • Appropriate waste management systems and
    infrastructure
  • National governments and tourism businesses
    maintaining

21
Organizations for ecological sustainability
  • Green Globe is a global benchmarking,
    certification and management system that is based
    on Agenda 21 and principles of sustainable
    development endorsed by 182 Heads of State at the
    United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit. It
    provides companies and communities with a path to
    sustainable travel and tourism.

23
The airport is characterized by
  • a) an architectural concept of a symbiosis of
    buildings and nature
  • b) eco-airport features that seek to preserve and
    foster the local eco-system
  • c) the commitment to co-exist harmoniously with
    the surrounding community

24
Cultural Sustainablility ----Positive ----Negati
ve
25
1. Improve globalization
  • A better understanding between different
    civilizations
  • Introduce the local traditions to the world
  • Achieve the up-to-date theory and technology

26
2. Boost the national confidence
  • Regain the respect of many marginalized
    traditions
  • Lead many traditions to their 2nd blooming

27
1. Impact the local community
  • Disrupt the original lifestyle.
  • The different cultural background may result in a
    misunderstanding between visitors local
    community.
  • Leading to the increasing rate of crime, decrease
    the public morality.

28
2. Impact the traditions
  • Assimilation Process of assimilating or being
    assimilated. (Oxford Advanced Learners
    English-Chinese Dictionary)
  • Vulgarization Process of becoming vulgar,
    reduce the profound meanings of traditions.
  • Commercialization More and more people tend to
    treat traditions with an attitude of making
    profit.

29
3. Damage the historical heritages
  • According to the USA website www.MSNBC.com,
    under the destruction of improper tourism
    developing, the Great Wall is disappearing at a
    daily-growing speed. Without effective
    protection, we wont see it in the next century.

30
Solutions
  • See traditions in the light of development
  • Keep the essence, discard the dross
  • Treat cultural differences with acceptance
  • Education
  • Emphasize the importance of treasuring the
    heritages
  • Cultivate experts, protect the historical sites
    with up-to-date theory
  • Balance the development and protection

31
  • Economic Sustainability

32
Positive Effects Negative Effects
Increasing foreign exchange earnings Leakage
Increasing income Enclave tourism (cruise line)
Increasing employment Infrastructure costs
Stimulation of infrastructure development Increase in prices
Economic dependence of the local community on tourism
Seasonal character of jobs
Other industry impacts affecting tourism (economic crises)
33
Encouraging Import Substitution
34
Implementing Incentive Programs
Cause an inflow of capital to develop the tourism
destination mix
35
Problems Issues
36
A Destination Should
Examine the performance of other countries incentive programs in light of their resources and development objectives
Research the actual needs of investors
Design codes of investment concessions related to specific development objectives, with precise requirements of the investors
Establish targets of achievement and periodically monitor and assess the level of realization of such targets
37
Dealing with Multinational Tourism Companies
When the tourism has developed , the opportunity
has arisen for the global expansion of large
tourism companies. These multinational companies
have been criticized for operating to benefit
their own profitability at the expense of
destination areas. And most multinational tourism
companies have their head offices in the most
developed countries. But those kind of companies
usually generate lower foreign exchange receipts
than do local hotels
38
Limited Job Opportunities
Those multinational companies usually employ more
professional managers rather than the local
people. But some management contracts say that
three to five years the management team must be
made up of locals. At this points , the
destination can really benefit from the foreign
owned companies.
39
Charter Issue
Visitors prefer to travel by an airline of their
country of origin rather than by the airline of
the destination country for the quality and
safety issue. So sometimes the lease of aircraft
from developed countries is necessary ,
especially for developing countries
40
Tour Operators
Tour operators can influence the destination a
lot . So if destination areas become totally
dependent on foreign tour operators , they risk
losing control of tourism development, and also
foreign exchange revenues may suffer. In
addition, by dealing with operators who
specialize in smaller but more specialized
markets, there is more chance that local inbound
operators will be used.
41
Foreign Currency
Some countries have limited the amount of their
own currency that visitors can bring into and
take out to ensure that foreign currency is used
to pay bills within the destination. Some
destinations may have some strict requirements of
currency to the visitors. And also some
requirements about currencies for the foreign
tour operators.
42
Coopetition
The definition of coopetition is the need for
cooperation among tourism destinations in order
to better market the tourism product effectively
and meet the competition at the regional or
global level.

44
Economic Analysis Methods
45
Cost /Benefit Analysis -------A technique used to
determine which economic sector produces the most
benefit in terms of foreign exchange , employment
, taxes , or income generated relative to the
costs of development. Disadvantage the
results of cost/benefit analysis are too
dependent on the appropriateness of its
assumptions. It is not possible to check actual
performance against prediction.
46
Structural Analysis As growth occurs, long-term
economic changes can be tracked through
structural analysis. There are three different
processes must be studied (1) Accumulation
processes( investment, government revenue,
education) (2) Resource allocation process(
structure of domestic demand, production and
trade) (3) Demographic and distribution process
( labor allocation , urbanization, demographic
transition, income distribution)
47
Satellite National Accounting The World
Tourism Organization and World Travel Tourism
Council support the concept of analyzing tourism
through a satellite account for tourism. In
essence, this means adding up the impacts of
tourism that have traditionally been allocated to
other economic sectors.
48
Definition of sustainable development
  • Meets the needs of present without compromising
    the ability of future generations to meet their
    own needs.
  • World Commission on Environment and
    Development (1987)

49
  • The use of natural resources to support economic
    activity without compromising the environments
    carrying capacity, which is its ability to
    continue producing those economic goods and
    services.
  • Manning and Dougherty (1995)

50
  • Tourism which is developed and maintained in an
    area (community, environment) in such a manner
    and such a scale that it remains viable over an
    indefinite period and does not degrade or alter
    the environment (human and physical) in which it
    exists to such a degree that it prohibits the
    successful development and well-being of other
    activities and processes.
  • Butler (1993)

52
Characteristics of Sustainable Tourism
  • It tries its utmost to maintain the importance of
    local culture and tradition.
  • It is informatory, as it doesnt only let tourist
    know about the destinations but also it helps
    locals knowing about the culture and
    civilizations of tourists.
  • It is aimed to conserve the resources of
    destinations where one is visiting to.
  • It seeks deeper involvement of locals, which
    provide local people an opportunity and make
    their living.
  • It stresses pointedly upon integrity of the
    tourist places.

53
Three principles provided by WTO
  • This WTO report recommends that tourism needs to
    be developed to satisfy three broad principles
    (Ding and Pigram, 1995)
  • 1. To improve the quality of life of the host
    community.
  • 2. To provide a high-quality experience for
    visitors.
  • 3. To maintain the quality of environment on
    which both the host community and the visitors
    depend.

To achieve the goals.
  • Oct. 25.1995, the United Nations released Paris
    Declaration In 21 century, the only way for
    mankind to survive is to learn the essence from
    Confucius 2500 years ago.
  • Government--Official members who involve in
    policy-setting and planning need to recognize and
    give equal consideration to both potential
    positive and negative effects of tourism.
  • Private sectors-- consciously balance the
    interests of profit, environment, and social and
    culture.
  • Community-- Local people must play a key role in
    determining the future of tourism in their
    community.
