Option #2: The Global Impact of Tourism
The field of tourism has become of great importance to cities, states, and countries. Some countries rely, to a great degree, on the generation of tourist dollars. For this reason, host countries spend billions to create a market that tourists want to visit. Many cities (and every state of the United States) have tourism boards to do exactly that. In this 3-4 page paper, discuss the following:
Assess the global impact of tourism, including the total value of tourism, the number of those employed by the tourism industry, and its future potential.
Choose one country that you find interesting or plan to visit. Explain the economic impact tourism has had on that country.
Describe the strategies/actions that your chosen country has taken to increase its tourism.
Identify current challenges, and potential solutions, that exist.
Finally, assess the negative aspects of tourism, and how your chosen country has tried to mitigate the negative impact that tourism may have on it.
Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length (excluding cover page and references) and formatted according to APA format. Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the assigned textbook reading and relevant research. You must include a minimum of three credible, academic or professional references beyond the text or other course materials. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
