Study Notes
Macro Perspective of Tourism and Hospitality
- First attempts to define tourism were by Professor Hunziker and Krapf. They defined it as "the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the travel and stay of non-residents, in so far as they do not lead to permanent residence and are not connected to any earning activity."
- This definition distinguishes tourism from migration.
- Tourism necessarily includes travel and stay, excluding day tours.
- Tourism Society in Britain defined tourism as "the temporary short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work and their activities during their stay at these destinations."
- Burkart and Medlik identified five main characteristics of tourism:
- Tourism is a combination of phenomena and relationships.
- It has dynamic (journey) and static (stay) elements.
- Journey and stay are outside the place of residence and work.
- Movement is temporary (a few days, weeks, or months), with intent to return.
- Activities are not connected to earning income.
Definitions of Tourist/Visitor
- 1937 League of Nations defined a tourist as someone visiting a country other than their usual residence for at least 24 hours, including those traveling for pleasure, domestic reasons, health, business, or on a cruise.
- 1963 UN Conference on International Travel and Tourism defined a visitor as anyone visiting a country other than that of their employment.
- This definition covers tourists (staying 24+ hours) for leisure, business, family, etc. and excursionists (staying less than 24 hours), including cruise travelers, but excluding travelers in transit.
Elements of Travel
- Distance: Travel within a person's home community vs. travel outside it. Excludes commuting.
