    • The professor is Dr. Nachatter Singh Garha.
    • The course is a Bachelor's Degree in Tourism from the Barcelona school of Tourism, Hospitality and Gastronomy (CETT), University of Barcelona.

    Tourist Destinations in the World

    • Tourism zoning: This is a mechanism for implementing policies related to public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare for visitors. It strategically divides land into areas for specific tourism activities, minimizing conflicts and ensuring sustainable development.

    • Different Territorial Areas: This section explores various ways to categorize destinations, including the continents (Africa, Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, and Middle East). There's also a discussion of countries within these regions.

    • Benefits of Tourism Zoning: Tourism zoning supports various practical applications, including preventing overcrowding, protecting ecosystems, enhancing visitor experiences, stimulating economic growth in underserved areas, and safeguarding local communities and heritage. It also involves stakeholder involvement to ensure the interests of locals, businesses, and environmentalists are taken into account.

    • UnWTO Tourism Regions: The presentation uses the UNWTO (United Nations World Tourism Organization) regions as a fundamental framework for understanding world tourism regions.

    • Factors for Defining Regionalisation: When defining regions, the UNWTO considered the continental morphology (shape of the continents) and the cultural morphology (similarities in cultural patterns like religion, ethnicity, and customs).

    • Main Tourist Countries: The presentation lists key countries of each tourism region in a summary table.

    • International Tourist Arrivals (changes compared to 2019): The slides provide data regarding international tourist arrivals comparing the present year with 2019 values, highlighting growth or decline by region.

    • Inbound/Outbound/Domestic Tourism: This involves analyzing tourism flows: inbound (visitors coming to a region), outbound (people from a region visiting other places), and domestic (movements within a region). Quantifiable data on tourist numbers is presented via maps.

    • Tourism Industry Metrics: Information is presented on estimated rooms and employees that are in global tourism industries via data visualizations.
