Study Notes

Introduction to the Geography of Tourism

  • Tourism destinations worldwide are categorized using tourism zoning.
  • Different territorial areas are considered for zoning purposes.
  • Tourism zoning is a tool for implementing policies on public health, safety, comfort, and welfare of visitors (WTO 1993).
  • Zoning is implemented by strategically dividing land for specific tourism activities and developments.
  • This enhances resource management, reduces conflicts, and secures sustainable development in tourism hubs.

Benefits of Tourism Zoning

  • Zoning helps distribute tourist activities, preventing overcrowding in popular destinations.
  • Regulations protect sensitive ecosystems by restricting tourism in vulnerable areas.
  • Distinct areas facilitate various tourism types (cultural, adventure, ecotourism).
  • Zoning can stimulate economic growth in underserved areas while protecting heritage and communities.
  • Stakeholder involvement (residents, businesses, environmental advocates) is crucial for effective zoning.

Geographical Division: Continents

  • Pangea, a vast supercontinent, existed in early geologic time.
  • It encompassed most of Earth's landmasses, surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa.
  • Pangea's assembly occurred during the Early Permian Epoch (299 million to 273 million years ago).
  • The supercontinent began breaking apart around 200 million years ago, during the Early Jurassic Epoch (201 million to 174 million years ago). This led to formations of modern continents and oceans, including the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

Political Division: Countries
