Introduction to Macro Perspective of Tourism and Hospitality
- Course: THM5202 offered by Prof. James Mark Nidea for academic year 2024-2025.
- Focus on both macro and micro perspectives of tourism and hospitality.
Overview of Tourism
- Tourism is defined as a multidimensional phenomenon involving travel and temporary stays of non-residents.
- Key elements of tourism include the motivation for travel, the purpose of travel, and the different forms and products in the industry.
Elements of Travel
- Purpose of travel varies and includes categories like tourism for leisure, business, and work.
- Workers traveling abroad for employment, such as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), are typically not categorized as tourists.
Categories of Travelers
- Workers: Travel primarily for work-related purposes; considered non-touristic.
- Businessmen: Travel for business and are classified as tourists, as they engage in activities that may involve leisure.
Differences between Workers and Businessmen
- Workers: Employment and salary tied to local entities in the destination country (e.g., OFWs in Taiwan).
- Businessmen: Work abroad while receiving payment from employers based in their home country.
Permanent vs Temporary Residence
- Tourism does not lead to permanent residence; it emphasizes temporary and short-term movements.
- Activities should not be aimed at earning an income during the stay.
Notable Examples
- Individuals may stay in tourist destinations (e.g., Ilocos) for extended periods without it being classified as tourism if they establish residence or engage in income-generating activities there.
