development in any country.

 It has also elevated its role as a major player in other

aspects such as environment protection and
revitalization of culture.
 Based on the WTO, tourism could be categorized
as:
◦ Domestic Tourism involves trips made by local residents
within their own countries.
 Example: A Filipino, who lives in the Philippines, takes a
business trip to Bacolod City.
◦ International Tourism involves trips between 2
countries.
Example: Trips between Hong Kong and Japan.
