Study Notes
Tourism as a System
- Tourism is a complex activity, not just traveling
- It encompasses leisure and non-leisure motives (fun, rest, education, business, etc.)
- Tourism is multi-faceted, involving relationships and phenomena
- It's a result of people moving from their usual environment for activities like leisure, business, purposes, and a temporary stay of less than one year.
- It can be understood as a system using General System Theory (GST), where the output of the system is greater than the sum of its individual units.
Tourism and Tourist Attractions
- Tourist attractions are key factors in tourism
- They're components of a tourist experience
- They're located within a tourist area
- Natural and man-made attractions contribute to destinations
- Attractions are diverse and complex, encompassing geographical features, climate, water, flora, fauna, culture, heritage, special events, significant people and events, and facilities for sports, recreation, etc.
- Attractions can be categorized as real (generating tourism, easily accessible) or potential (with potential for tourism, needing promotion).
Tourists and Operators
- Tourists are users of a tourist destination
- Operators are local agents, administrators, service providers, and others
- There's a mutual relationship between tourists and operators
- A complex system with many interacting elements (tourist, attractions, service providers)
- Output greater than the sum of individual units (GST- General System Theory)
- Destinations, attractions' characteristics, facilities, services, experiences, and marketing all interact to create a broader system
- Tourism can be thought of as co-produced/co-created by tourists and the host communities.
Tourism Attraction Categorization
- Real attractions generate tourism and have easy access
- Potential attractions have potential for generating tourism, but require promotion
- Differences lie in their current status and accessibility
- Classifications and assessment criteria for tourist attractions vary according to the specific characteristics of the area
- Based on: purpose-built, natural, events, heritage, and other factors specific to the area.
- Tourists' motivations influence the choice of attractions.
