Tourism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of
touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining
tourists, and the business of operating tours.[1] Tourism may be
international, or within the traveller's country. The World Tourism
Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond
the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity
only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual
environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business
and other purposes".[2]
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has

countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries,
in some cases being of vital importance.[3]
Tourism suffered as a result of a strong economic slowdown of the

late-2000s recession, between the second half of 2008 and the end of
2009, and the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza virus,[4][5] but slowly
recovered. International tourism receipts (the travel item in the balance
of payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (740 billion) in 2011,
corresponding to an increase in real terms of 3.8% from 2010.[6]
International tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone of 1 billion tourists
globally for the first time in 2012,[7] emerging markets such as China,
Russia and Brazil had significantly increased their spending over the
previous decade.[8] The ITB Berlin is the world's leading tourism trade
fair.[9]

Etymology
The word tourist was used by 1772[10] and tourism by 1811.[11] It is
formed from the word tour, which is derived from Old English turian,
from Old French torner, from Latin tornare; 'to turn on a lathe,' which is
itself from Ancient Greek tornos; 'lathe'.[12]
Significance of tourism
Tourism is an important, even vital, source of income for many regions

economic sectors of national societies and on their international

relations."[2][13]
Tourism brings in large amounts of income into a local economy in the

form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists, accounting
for 30% of the world's trade of services, and 6% of overall exports of
goods and services.[6] It also creates opportunities for employment in the
service sector of the economy associated with tourism.[14]

Definitions
In 1936, the League of Nations defined a foreign tourist as "someone
traveling abroad for at least twenty-four hours". Its successor, the United
Nations, amended this definition in 1945, by including a maximum stay
of six months.[15]
In 1941, Hunziker and Kraft defined tourism as "the sum of the

phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and stay of
non-residents, insofar as they do not lead to permanent residence and are

not connected with any earning activity."[16][17] In 1976, the Tourism
famous for its canoeing routes
Society of England's definition was: "Tourism is the temporary,
short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where
they normally live and work and their activities during the stay at each destination. It includes movements for all
purposes."[18] In 1981, the International Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism defined tourism in terms of
particular activities chosen and undertaken outside the home.[19]
In 1994, the United Nations identified three forms of tourism in its Recommendations on Tourism Statistics:[20]
Domestic tourism, involving residents of the given country traveling only within this country
Inbound tourism, involving non-residents traveling in the given country
Outbound tourism, involving residents traveling in another country
The terms tourism and travel are sometimes used interchangeably. In this context, travel has a similar definition
to tourism, but implies a more purposeful journey. The terms tourism and tourist are sometimes used
pejoratively, to imply a shallow interest in the cultures or locations visited. By contrast, traveler is often used as
a sign of distinction. The sociology of tourism has studied the cultural values underpinning these distinctions
and their implications for class relations.[21]
World tourism statistics and rankings

Total volume of cross-border tourist travel
3 of 20 29/03/2017 22:09
International tourist arrivals reached 1.035 billion in 2012, up from over 996 million in 2011, and 952 million in
2010.[7] In 2011 and 2012, international travel demand continued to recover from the losses resulting from the
late-2000s recession, where tourism suffered a strong slowdown from the second half of 2008 through the end of
2009. After a 5% increase in the first half of 2008, growth in international tourist arrivals moved into negative
territory in the second half of 2008, and ended up only 2% for the year, compared to a 7% increase in 2007.[4]
The negative trend intensified during 2009, exacerbated in some countries due to the outbreak of the H1N1
influenza virus, resulting in a worldwide decline of 4.2% in 2009 to 880 million international tourists arrivals,
and a 5.7% decline in international tourism receipts.[5]

History
Antiquity
Travel outside a person's local area for leisure was largely confined to wealthy classes, who at times travelled to
distant parts of the world, to see great buildings, works of art, learn new languages, experience new cultures, and
to taste different cuisines. As early as Shulgi, however, kings praised themselves for protecting roads and
7 of 20 29/03/2017 22:09
building waystations for travelers.[29] During the Roman Republic, spas

and coastal resorts such as Baiae were popular among the rich. Pausanias
wrote his Description of Greece in the 2nd century AD. In ancient China,
nobles sometimes made a point of visiting Mount Tai and, on occasion,
all five Sacred Mountains.
Middle Ages
By the Middle Ages, Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam all had traditions
of pilgrimage that motivated even the lower classes to undertake distant
journeys for health or spiritual improvement, seeing the sights along the
way. The Islamic hajj is still central to its faith and Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales and Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West remain classics of English
and Chinese literature.
The 10th- to 13th-century Song dynasty also saw secular travel writers
such as Su Shi (11th century) and Fan Chengda (12th century) become A Japanese tourist consulting a tour
guide and a guide book from Akizato
popular in China. Under the Ming, Xu Xiake continued the practice.[30]
In medieval Italy, Francesco Petrarch also wrote an allegorical account of Rit's Miyako meisho zue (1787)
his 1336 ascent of Mount Ventoux that praised the act of traveling and
criticized frigida incuriositas ("cold lack curiosity"). The Burgundian poet Michault Taillevent later composed
his own horrified recollections of a 1430 trip through the Jura Mountains.[31]
Grand Tour
Modern tourism can be traced to what was known as the Grand Tour,
which was a traditional trip around Europe, (especially Germany and
Italy), undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means,
mainly from Western and Northern European countries. The custom
flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transit in
the 1840s, and was associated with a standard itinerary. It served as an
educational opportunity and rite of passage. Though primarily associated
with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry, similar trips were
made by wealthy young men of Protestant Northern European nations on
the Continent, and from the second half of the 18th century some South
American, US, and other overseas youth joined in. The tradition was
extended to include more of the middle class after rail and steamship
travel made the journey less of a burden, and Thomas Cook made the
"Cook's Tour" a byword.
The Grand Tour became a real status symbol for upper class students in
the 18th and 19th centuries. In this period, Johann Joachim
Winckelmann's theories about the supremacy of classic culture became
very popular and appreciated in the European academic world. Artists, Portrait of Douglas, 8th Duke of
writers and travellers (such as Goethe) affirmed the supremacy of classic Hamilton, on his Grand Tour with his
art of which Italy, France and Greece provide excellent examples. For physician Dr John Moore and the
these reasons, the Grand Tour's main destinations were to those centres, latter's son John. Painted by Jean

history.

The New York Times recently described the Grand Tour in this way:
Three hundred years ago, wealthy young Englishmen began taking a post-Oxbridge trek through
France and Italy in search of art, culture and the roots of Western civilization. With nearly unlimited
funds, aristocratic connections and months (or years) to roam, they commissioned paintings,
perfected their language skills and mingled with the upper crust of the Continent.
Gross, Matt., Lessons From the Frugal Grand Tour." New York Times 5 September 2008.
The primary value of the Grand Tour, it was believed, laid in the exposure both to the cultural legacy of classical
antiquity and the Renaissance, and to the aristocratic and fashionably polite society of the European continent.
Emergence of leisure travel
Leisure travel was associated with the Industrial Revolution in the

United Kingdom the first European country to promote leisure time to
the increasing industrial population.[32] Initially, this applied to the
owners of the machinery of production, the economic oligarchy, the
factory owners and the traders. These comprised the new middle
class.[32] Cox & Kings was the first official travel company to be formed
in 1758.[33]
The British origin of this new industry is reflected in many place names.
In Nice, France, one of the first and best-established holiday resorts on
the French Riviera, the long esplanade along the seafront is known to Englishman in the Campagna by Carl
this day as the Promenade des Anglais; in many other historic resorts in Spitzweg (c. 1845)
continental Europe, old, well-established palace hotels have names like
the Hotel Bristol, Hotel Carlton, or Hotel Majestic reflecting the dominance of English customers.
A pioneer of the travel agency

business, Thomas Cook's idea to
offer excursions came to him
while waiting for the stagecoach
on the London Road at Kibworth.
With the opening of the extended
Midland Counties Railway, he
arranged to take a group of 540 Panels from the Thomas Cook
temperance campaigners from Building in Leicester, displaying

food for this train journey. Cook was paid a share of the fares actually
charged to the passengers, as the railway tickets, being legal contracts
between company and passenger, could not have been issued at his own price. This was the first privately
chartered excursion train to be advertised to the general public; Cook himself acknowledging that there had been
previous, unadvertised, private excursion trains.[34] During the following three summers he planned and
conducted outings for temperance societies and Sunday-school children. In 1844 the Midland Counties Railway
Company agreed to make a permanent arrangement with him provided he found the passengers. This success led
9 of 20 29/03/2017 22:09
him to start his own business running rail excursions for pleasure, taking a percentage of the railway tickets.
Four years later, he planned his first excursion abroad, when he took a group from Leicester to Calais to coincide
with the Paris Exhibition. The following year he started his 'grand circular tours' of Europe. During the 1860s he
took parties to Switzerland, Italy, Egypt and the United States. Cook established 'inclusive independent travel',
whereby the traveller went independently but his agency charged for travel, food and accommodation for a fixed
period over any chosen route. Such was his success that the Scottish railway companies withdrew their support
between 1862 and 1863 to try the excursion business for themselves.
Cruise shipping
Cruising is a popular form of water tourism. Leisure cruise ships were
introduced by the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company
(P&O) in 1844,[35] sailing from Southampton to destinations such as
Gibraltar, Malta and Athens.[36] In 1891, German businessman Albert
Ballin sailed the ship Augusta Victoria from Hamburg into the
Mediterranean Sea. In 1900, one of the first purpose-built cruise ship
was Prinzessin Victoria Luise, built in Hamburg.
Modern day tourism

Many leisure-oriented tourists travel to seaside resorts at their nearest Prinzessin Victoria Luise, the first
coast or further apart. Coastal areas in the tropics are popular both in the cruise ship of the world, launched in
summer and winter. June 1900 in Hamburg (Germany)
Winter tourism
St. Moritz, Switzerland became the cradle of the developing winter tourism in the 1860s; hotel manager
Johannes Badrutt invited some summer guests from England to return in the winter to see the snowy landscape,
thereby inaugurating a popular trend.[37][38] It was, however, only in the 1970s when winter tourism took over
the lead from summer tourism in many of the Swiss ski resorts. Even in winter, up to one third of all guests
(depending on the location) consist of non-skiers.[39]
Major ski resorts are located mostly in the various European countries (e.g. Andorra, Austria, Armenia,
Bulgaria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland,
Italy, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland,
Turkey), Canada, the United States (e.g. Montana, Utah, Colorado, California, Wyoming, Vermont, New
Hampshire, New York) Lebanon, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Chile, and Argentina.
Mass tourism
Mass tourism developed with improvements in technology, which allowed the transport of large numbers of
people in a short period of time to places of leisure interest, so that greater numbers of people could begin to
enjoy the benefits of leisure time.
In Continental Europe, early seaside resorts include: Heiligendamm, founded in 1793 at the Baltic Sea, being the
first seaside resort; Ostend, popularised by the people of Brussels; Boulogne-sur-Mer and Deauville for the
Parisians; Taormina in Sicily.

In the United States, the first seaside resorts in the European style were
at Atlantic City, New Jersey and Long Island, New York.
Niche tourism
Niche tourism refers to the numerous specialty travel forms of tourism

that have emerged over the years, each with its own adjective. Many of Reiseplne (Travel plans) by Adolph
these have come into common use by the tourism industry and Menzel (1875)
academics.[40] Others are emerging concepts that may or may not gain
popular usage. Examples of the more common niche tourism markets
include:
Agritourism Nautical tourism

Astronomy tourism Pop-culture tourism
Birth tourism Religious tourism
Culinary tourism Sex tourism
Cultural tourism Slum tourism
Extreme tourism Virtual tourism
Geotourism War tourism
Heritage tourism Wellness tourism The Shrine of Our Lady of Ftima, in
LGBT tourism Wildlife tourism Portugal, is one of the largest
Medical tourism religious tourism sites in the world.
Other terms used for niche or specialty travel forms include the term "destination" in the descriptions, such as
destination weddings, and terms such as location vacation.
Recent developments
There has been an up-trend in tourism over the last few decades,
especially in Europe, where international travel for short breaks is
common. Tourists have a wide range of budgets and tastes, and a wide
variety of resorts and hotels have developed to cater for them. For
example, some people prefer simple beach vacations, while others want
more specialised holidays, quieter resorts, family-oriented holidays, or
niche market-targeted destination hotels.
The developments in technology and transport infrastructure, such as

jumbo jets, low-cost airlines, and more accessible airports have made A destination hotel in Germany:

that there are around half a million people on board aircraft at any given Mecklenburg.
time. [41] There have also been changes in lifestyle, for example some
retirement-age people sustain year round tourism. This is facilitated by internet sales of tourist services. Some
sites have now started to offer dynamic packaging, in which an inclusive price is quoted for a tailor-made
package requested by the customer upon impulse.
There have been a few setbacks in tourism, such as the September 11 attacks and terrorist threats to tourist
destinations, such as in Bali and several European cities. Also, on 26 December 2004, a tsunami, caused by the
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, hit the Asian countries on the Indian Ocean, including the Maldives. Thousands
of lives were lost including many tourists. This, together with the vast clean-up operations, stopped or severely
11 of 20 29/03/2017 22:09
hampered tourism in the area for a time.
Individual low-price or even zero-price overnight stays have become more popular in the 2000s, especially with
a strong growth in the hostel market and services like CouchSurfing and airbnb being established.[42] There has
also been examples of jurisdictions wherein a significant portion of GDP is being spent on altering the primary
sources of revenue towards tourism, as has occurred for instance in Dubai.[43]
Sustainable tourism
"Sustainable tourism is envisaged as leading to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social
and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes,
biological diversity and life support systems." (World Tourism Organization)[44]
Sustainable development implies "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs." (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)[45]
Sustainable tourism can be seen as having regard to ecological and social-cultural carrying capacities and
includes involving the community of the destination in tourism development planning. It also involves
integrating tourism to match current economic and growth policies so as to mitigate some of the negative
economic and social impacts of 'mass tourism'. Murphy (1985) advocates the use of an 'ecological approach', to
consider both 'plants' and 'people' when implementing the sustainable tourism development process. This is in
contrast to the 'boosterism' and 'economic' approaches to tourism planning, neither of which consider the
detrimental ecological or sociological impacts of tourism development to a destination.
However, Butler questions the exposition of the term 'sustainable' in the context of tourism, citing its ambiguity
and stating that "the emerging sustainable development philosophy of the 1990s can be viewed as an extension
of the broader realization that a preoccupation with economic growth without regard to its social and
environmental consequences is self-defeating in the long term." Thus 'sustainable tourism development' is
seldom considered as an autonomous function of economic regeneration as separate from general economic
growth.
Ecotourism
Ecotourism, also known as ecological tourism, is responsible travel to fragile, pristine, and usually protected
areas that strives to be low-impact and (often) small-scale. It helps educate the traveler; provides funds for
conservation; directly benefits the economic development and political empowerment of local communities; and
fosters respect for different cultures and for human rights.Take only memories and leave only footprints is a very
common slogan in protected areas.[46] Tourist destinations are shifting to low carbon emissions following the
trend of visitors more focused in being environmentally responsible adopting a sustainable behavior.[47]
Pro-poor tourism
Pro-poor tourism, which seeks to help the poorest people in developing countries, has been receiving increasing
attention by those involved in development; the issue has been addressed through small-scale projects in local
communities and through attempts by Ministries of Tourism to attract large numbers of tourists. Research by the
Overseas Development Institute suggests that neither is the best way to encourage tourists' money to reach the
poorest as only 25% or less (far less in some cases) ever reaches the poor; successful examples of money
reaching the poor include mountain-climbing in Tanzania and cultural tourism in Luang Prabang, Laos.[48]

economic crisis. Recession tourism is defined by low-cost and
high-value experiences taking place of once-popular generic retreats.

When there is a significant price difference between countries for a given
medical procedure, particularly in Southeast Asia, India, Eastern Europe,
Cuba[49] and Canada[50] where there are different regulatory regimes, in relation to particular medical
procedures (e.g. dentistry), traveling to take advantage of the price or regulatory differences is often referred to
as "medical tourism".
Educational tourism
Educational tourism is developed because of the growing popularity of teaching and learning of knowledge and
the enhancing of technical competency outside of classroom environment. Educational tourism describes the
event in which people travel across international borders to acquire intellectual services.[51] In educational
tourism, the main focus of the tour or leisure activity includes visiting another country to learn about the culture,
study tours, or to work and apply skills learned inside the classroom in a different environment, such as in the
International Practicum Training Program. The motivations for this type of tourism activity includes cultural
altruism, language learning desire, image of host country, Job prospects, political instability, quality, reputation,
language of instruction, safety and level of discrimination[51]
Creative tourism
Creative tourism has existed as a form of cultural tourism, since the early beginnings of tourism itself. Its
European roots date back to the time of the Grand Tour, which saw the sons of aristocratic families traveling for
the purpose of mostly interactive, educational experiences. More recently, creative tourism has been given its
own name by Crispin Raymond and Greg Richards,[52] who as members of the Association for Tourism and
Leisure Education (ATLAS), have directed a number of projects for the European Commission, including
cultural and crafts tourism, known as sustainable tourism. They have defined "creative tourism" as tourism
related to the active participation of travellers in the culture of the host community, through interactive
workshops and informal learning experiences.[52]
Meanwhile, the concept of creative tourism has been picked up by high-profile organizations such as UNESCO,
who through the Creative Cities Network, have endorsed creative tourism as an engaged, authentic experience
that promotes an active understanding of the specific cultural features of a place.
More recently, creative tourism has gained popularity as a form of cultural tourism, drawing on active
participation by travelers in the culture of the host communities they visit. Several countries offer examples of
this type of tourism development, including the United Kingdom, Austria, France, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Spain,

Experiential travel (or "immersion travel") is one of the major market
trends in the modern tourism industry. It is an approach to travelling
which focuses on experiencing a country, city or particular place by connecting to its history, people, food and
culture.[54]
The term Experiential travel is already mentioned in publications from 1985[55] - however it was discovered
as a meaningful market trend much later.
Dark tourism
One emerging area of special interest has been identified by Lennon and Foley (2000)[56][57] as "dark" tourism.
This type of tourism involves visits to "dark" sites, such as battlegrounds, scenes of horrific crimes or acts of
genocide, for example: concentration camps. Dark tourism remains a small niche market, driven by varied
motivations, such as mourning, remembrance, education, macabre curiosity or even entertainment. Its early
origins are rooted in fairgrounds and medieval fairs.[58]
Philip Stone argues that dark tourism is a way of imagining the own death through the real death of others'.[59]
Erik H Cohen introduces the term populo sites to evidence the educational character of dark tourism. Populo
sites transmits the story of vicitimized population to visitors. Based on a study at Yad Vashem, the Shoah
(Holocaust) memorial museum in Jerusalem, a new termin populois proposed to describe dark tourism sites
at a population and spiritual center of the people to whom a tragedy befell. Learning about the Shoah in
Jerusalem offers a different but equally authentic encounter with the subject as visits to sites in Europe. It is
argued that a dichotomy between authentic sites at the location of a tragedy and created sites elsewhere is
insufficient. Participants evaluations of seminars for European teachers at Yad Vashem indicate that the location
is an important aspect of a meaningful encounter with the subject. Implications for other cases of dark tourism at
in populo locations are discussed.[60] In this vein, Peter Tarlow defines dark tourism as the tendency to visit
places where tragedies, or historically noteworthy death happened, which continues to impressing our lives. This
issue cannot be understood without the figure of trauma.[61] Following this, Maximiliano Korstanje explains that
tourism serves as an scape-goat mechanism used in order for society does not collapse. This is the reason why
tourists look for something special, something new beyond their nearest residential home. The quest for
"Otherness" leads not only to maximize pleasure but also provides a pedagogical message to the us. In context
of disasters and tragedies, dark tourism may revitalize the lost trust giving a positive value that helps community
in the process of recovery. Tourism is in fact an instrument of resiliency that paves the ways for the society to be

united.[62][63][64]
Social tourism
Social tourism is the extension of the benefits of tourism to disadvantaged people who otherwise could not
afford to travel for their education of recreation. It includes youth hostels and low-priced holiday
accommodation run by church and voluntary organisations, trade unions, or in Communist times publicly owned
enterprises. In May 1959, at the second Congress of Social Tourism in Austria, Walter Hunziker proposed the
following definition: Social tourism is a type of tourism practiced by low income groups, and which is rendered
possible and facilitated by entirely separate and therefore easily recognizable services".
Doom tourism
Also known as "Tourism of Doom," or "Last Chance Tourism" this

emerging trend involves traveling to places that are environmentally or
otherwise threatened (such as the ice caps of Mount Kilimanjaro, the
melting glaciers of Patagonia, or the coral of the Great Barrier Reef)
before it is too late. Identified by travel trade magazine Travel Age
West[65] editor-in-chief Kenneth Shapiro in 2007 and later explored in
The New York Times,[66] this type of tourism is believed to be on the
rise. Some see the trend as related to sustainable tourism or ecotourism
due to the fact that a number of these tourist destinations are considered Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia,
threatened by environmental factors such as global warming, Argentina.
overpopulation or climate change. Others worry that travel to many of
these threatened locations increases an individuals carbon footprint and
only hastens problems threatened locations are already facing.[67][68][69][70][71][72]
Growth
The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) forecasts that international tourism will continue growing at the
average annual rate of 4%.[73] With the advent of e-commerce, tourism products have become one of the most
traded items on the internet. Tourism products and services have been made available through intermediaries,
although tourism providers (hotels, airlines, etc.), including small-scale operators, can sell their services directly.
[74][75] This has put pressure on intermediaries from both on-line and traditional shops.
It has been suggested there is a strong correlation between tourism expenditure per capita and the degree to
which countries play in the global context.[76] Not only as a result of the important economic contribution of the
tourism industry, but also as an indicator of the degree of confidence with which global citizens leverage the
resources of the globe for the benefit of their local economies. This is why any projections of growth in tourism
may serve as an indication of the relative influence that each country will exercise in the future.
Space tourism
There has been a limited amount of orbital space tourism, with only the Russian Space Agency providing
transport to date. A 2010 report into space tourism anticipated that it could become a billion dollar market by
2030.[77]

Sports tourism
Since the late 1980s, sports tourism has become increasingly popular.
Events such as rugby, Olympics, Commonwealth games, Asian Games
and football World Cups have enabled specialist travel companies to gain
official ticket allocation and then sell them in packages that include
flights, hotels and excursions.
The focus on sport and spreading knowledge on the subject, especially

more so recently, led to the increase in the sport tourism. Most notably, SpaceShipTwo is a major project in
the international event such as the Olympics caused a shift in focus in the space tourism.
audience who now realize the variety of sports that exist in the world. In
the United States, one of the most popular sports that usually are focused
on was Football. This popularity was increased through major events like
the World Cups. In Asian countries, the numerous football events also
increased the popularity of football. But, it was the Olympics that
brought together the different sports that led to the increase in sport
tourism. The drastic interest increase in sports in general and not just one
sport caught the attention of travel companies, who then began to sell
flights in packages. Due to the low number of people who actually
purchase these packages than predicted, the cost of these packages
plummeted initially. As the number start to rise slightly the packages
increased to regain the lost profits. With the certain economic state, the
number of purchases decreased once again. The fluctuation in the
number of packages sold was solely dependent on the economic
situation, therefore, most travel companies were forced to set aside the
plan to execute the marketing of any new package features.

strong slowdown beginning in June 2008. Growth from 2007 to 2008
was only 3.7% during the first eight months of 2008. This slowdown on
international tourism demand was also reflected in the air transport industry, with a negative growth in
September 2008 and a 3.3% growth in passenger traffic through September. The hotel industry also reported a
slowdown, with room occupancy declining. In 2009 worldwide tourism arrivals decreased by 3.8%.[78] By the
first quarter of 2009, real travel demand in the United States had fallen 6% over six quarters. While this is
considerably milder than what occurred after the 9/11 attacks, the decline was at twice the rate as real GDP has
fallen.[79][80]
However, evidence suggests that tourism as a global phenomenon shows no signs of substantially abating in the
long term. It has been suggested that travel is necessary in order to maintain relationships, as social life is
increasingly networked and conducted at a distance.[81] For many people vacations and travel are increasingly
being viewed as a necessity rather than a luxury, and this is reflected in tourist numbers recovering some 6.6%
globally over 2009, with growth up to 8% in emerging economies.[78]
Destination image
For the last decade there are many definitions related to destination image created by scholars in tourism studies
16 of 20 29/03/2017 22:09
with various approaches (Gallarza et al., 2002; MacKay & Fesenmaier, 1997).
Destination image can be is defined as
1. a total imagination about whole tourism landscape/destination

2. image that made by marketing campaigns
3. combination of real destination experience and impression or evaluation about destination
According to the kind of source information, destination images can be specified into primary destination image
and secondary one. Past experience is one of the example of primary images that are formed through the
experiences when visited the destination, while secondary images are the images formed through external
sources of information (Phelps, 1986). Murals is a part of street arts.
Murals are pictures on the walls and along the alley ways. In Seoul, you can find them in 5 main places:
Hongdae, Mullae, Ihwa mural village, Itaewon and Apgujeong Graffiti. They range from different shapes, sizes,
designs to colors and styles. It could be a simple cat drawing or a sophisticated abstract one, on the walls or on
the staircases, lively animated characters from Disney cartoons or a line of leaves, flowers and trees. Some
paintings, apart from showing pure beauty, even imply a special underlying meaning and represent wishes of the
creators.
Murals can make the old village more interesting and draw peoples attention to visit. However, in some places
in Seoul, local residents feel annoyed by unexpected visitors who come to see murals there (Ihwa mural village,
Mullae).
In destination image, culture has an important role in determining the way destination image is interpreted, since
the cultural differential value structures influence the way of thinking and it is expressed through the way of life,
relaxation, work, and consumer behavior patterns. Therefore, cultural background is expected to influence the
manner and how people perceived the image of particular destination (Richardson & Crompton, 1988).
