Top three tourist attractions in England are the following: 

Lake District

British Museum

Hadrian's Wall The highest number of visitors come to these attractions. This is because, Lake District is the

largest national park in the country. Lakes are the main attractions which bring nature lovers to this place. British museum attracts people as it is dedicated to human history and culture. It consists of 8 million works which arouse curiosity in the visitors. Majority of visitors come to the Hadrian's Wall because it is not only a great central place to stay but it also it also allows the visitors to explore activities at Kielder Forest. Income generated from tourism and its allied activities in the UK amounted to £21 billion during 2013. While in 2014 the country was visited by some 34.4 million tourists who spent £21.8 billion (Visitor economy facts, 2015). Total revenue earned from this industry amounted to £125.7 billion in 2013 (UK TOURISM STATISTICS, 2014). 1.2 Analyzing statistics to determine trends and predicting future trends Tourism trends can be defined as the general tendency or direction of behaviour of tourists (Phillips, 2003).

Illustration 2: Number of visitors to different tourism destinations (Source: Travel Trends 2012: Key Findings, 2012) In the year 2013, 8.3 million tourists visited Spain in August. There were a total of 60.6 million international tourists who visited Spain in 2013. as compared to this, London itself welcomed 2.7 million visitors in the year 2014. Rest of England had 14.2 million visitors (2014 snapshot, 2014). It can be analysed that the number of visitors to Spain are much more than those to England. The top three tourist attractions in Spain are The Alhambra and Generalife Gardens, Granada, Barcelona's Sagrada Familia and Gaudi Sites and Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao. These three top tourist attractions are the most visited places in Spain. This is because these destinations also provide the tourists with facilities and convenience in terms of transport, accommodations of various types and Toll Free:+61 879 057 034 Website:https://www.instantassignmenthelp.com.au/ Š Copyright 2016 @ Instant Assignment Help Australia.

other amenities. Trends in terms of income generation The spending by foreign visitors in Spain increased by about 59 billion euros in 2013 (Spain sees record tourism numbers in 2013, 2014). It can be analyzed that increased spending was due to two reasons. One of the reasons was higher number of tourists and the other was larger spending by each person. As compared to this, the visitors in England spent an estimated amount of £7.3 billion. Tourism in England contributed £106 billion to the economy. There are various changes and developments that could happen in UK tourism industry in the next 20 years or so, indicating that future of the industry is in a very volatile state. One of the major change that could happen is related to very 'reason for travelling'. Until now everyone used to believe that travelling is more of related to packing the bags and going off on a holiday for some time. But in coming years, this very concept can change upside down. It is expected that people would start to 'travel with a purpose', i.e. they would have a reason or motive for travelling to different places. It can be supported through fact that aspects such as pollution, green house gases, etc. have gained a lot of popularity in recent years, and people get a feeling of guilt when they undertake different travel related activities such as air travel, which usually results in substantial rise in pollution levels. Therefore it can be expected that people would try to develop a sense of purpose or reason for why they want to travel. This way they would attempt to reduce the emission of harmful gases as well as try to protect the natural environment. Future trends that could change the shape of travel industry in Spain is the emergence and development of different alternative means of transportation. As air travel is becoming expensive day by day, it can be said that people in the coming years may start to prefer such methods that may help them to not only save the cost of air travelling, but also provide a new and more social experience to them. For instance travelling and commuting through trains, boats, bikes or biking could gain popularity in coming years. This way the face of travel and tourism industry could change dramatically.

While physical features can be termed as those aspects which discuss about development and progress of the region in view of geographical, technological, architectural, etc. can be seen (Boniface and Cooper, 2009). In the following paragraph, cultural features of two countries – USA and India are discussed. Indian food consists of a typical and unique taste which can be found in no other country. This makes the country a very different place to travel to. Since India is such as vast nation which consists of a wide number of regions divided into states, each of which have different taste and way of making food. On the other hand to it, usually in USA a tourist can get to eat food which essentially are American only (Moreno, 2005). In America there are numerous pubs and clubs which are visited by large number of tourists as well as the locals; but in India, this concept is still at a very early stage. There are not too many pubs in the country, but still they are becoming very popular. In India, Cricket is given preference to any other sports; while in USA, games other than cricket like basketball, baseball, etc. are very popular. USA

LO 2.2 Comparison of features of the two tourism destinations Introduction United States of America is ranked as the second largest preferred tourism destinations in the world, while India is far below that of level set by USA. There are a variety of factors and forces that create a point of differentiation between travel and tourism of both the countries. This section of the report would compare features of the given tourism destinations. Comparison One of the elementary differences between the two countries is that USA is world's one of the largest nations, which means that there are more places for tourists and travellers to visit. But since India is not such a large country, tourists have very fewer options to visit in comparison to that of USA (Petia and Peter, 2004). Due to this reason, USA is visited by more number of tourists than India. Another prime difference between the countries is that climate of India is very hot in comparison to European and American nations. In this sense, it can be said that this is a prime factor for more tourists visiting USA than that of India. This is a reason why more people visit USA than that of India, as they get a much cooler climate which is pretty much like what they get in their home country. Another prominent point of differentiation between the two nations in terms of travel and tourism can be seen in Toll Free:+61 879 057 034 Website:https://www.instantassignmenthelp.com.au/ Š Copyright 2016 @ Instant Assignment Help Australia.

terms of development and urbanization (Kyriakidou, 2005). Since USA is a developed nation, tourists get more amenities and facilities for the purpose of having a comfortable stay and improve their overall experience of the destination; which they usually would not get while travelling in India, primarily because of reason that the country is not as developed as USA. Fees, tariff rates, etc. are much higher in USA than in India. This is also a very prominent reason because of which slowly the travel trade is rising in the country. There are wide variety of options that tourists can get when they travel in India. These can range from high class, high priced products and services to cheapest options. Due to availability of such wide number of options, travelling to India can be a very good experience (Sloan, 2014). Furthermore, there is a vast difference between India and USA in terms of cultural and social norms. India is a country which is culturally very rich. Since it is a multicultural country, travellers and tourists can get to see a very different side of the world and thus improve their overall travelling experience by manifolds. Further, USA is one of the highly developed nations of the world, indicating that it is economically very strong, while India is a developing nations, meaning that it financially is not very strong. Due to this reason, more people prefer to travel to USA, as they get much better and effective facilities in the country, as compared to those of which they get in India. Conclusion Through the above study it can be said that there are various points of differences which makes India and USA a lot different from one another. Herein, it was noted that people travel to India, because of its rich cultural history; while some travel to USA mainly because of the development that the country has undergone in last many years.
