Sustainable Tourim is when tourism is kept the same throughout the years and nothing is changed for the future therefore the tourism rate doesnt go down.
Tourism in the Economy.
There are two different types of effects. Negative and positive.
Things that have a a negative effect on the economy would be things such as travel agents and outbound tourism. This is because it is allowing people to spend their money overseas in other countries on their goods and services such as food, drink, ancillaries, entertainment or accomidation, therefore people arent spending their money in the UK. For example, Thomas Cook is a negative effect on the economy because the company is allowing people to go out of the UK and spend their money.
A positive effect would be that these companies provide employment. The multiplier effect is both negative and positive. This is when peoples money gets spent over and over again. For example, someone could get paid their wages and then they would go and spend their money and different things such as clothing, food and drink ect. This happens everywhere in the world where money gets re-spent and the money cycle goes round over and over again.
GDP- Gross Domestic Product: This is the measure of a countries economic growth. This would let us know if the country is in recession or out of the recession. It is calculated by adding the value of the imports and the exports. Inbound Tourism is an Export because is has a positive effect where as Outbound Tourism is an Import because it has a negative effect.
Tourism can contribute to countries economies which are less developed. (LEDC's)-less economically developed countries.
