Paving Paradise American tourism to Hawaii has increased by 14.2 percent in just two years. This dramatic increase in tourism seems to be a beneficial boost for Hawaii's economy; however, the increasing rate of tourism is harming the native people of Hawaii. While the Hawaiian economy is experiencing one of its most fruitful years, the native Hawaiian people are suffering from job loss, poverty, depression, and an overall "cultural destruction" (Trask 260). Haunani–Kay Trask uses rhetoric to discuss these harmful effects in her essay "Tourist, Stay Home" in order to persuade her readers into believing that tourism can actually be a bad thing for an economy. On the other hand, in his article "Surf's Up for the Economy in Hawaii," Jim...show more content...

These are the people that have the money to spend on vacations to Hawaii. These readers have probably visited Hawaii more than once with their families. Carlton is there to give these vacationers gratification for their lavish weekends by pointing out how much their money truly helps the state of Hawaii. The Wall Street Journal, probably more than any other American newspaper, supports growth of the American economy as a whole rather than as an individual state. Not only do Carlton and this newspaper promote American economy, but they also devalue foreign economy. For example, Carlton explains the previous shortage of Japanese tourism in Hawaii by writing "the basic reason is that the U.S. economy is stronger than Japan." It is apparent that one of Carlton's objectives is to discourage American tourism of foreign countries in order to decrease foreign economical growth. The Wall Street Journal and its right–wing audience are actually more concerned with the development of the American Economy, rather than the development of the single state of Hawaii and its native people's well–being. The presentation of Carlton's information is straightforward. He gives interesting statistics that include both the ups and downs of the Hawaiian economy. He does not deny that Hawaii has not always had the luster that it has today. His representation of both sides of the Hawaiian economy allows his writing to seem

Besides the climate is one of the most important point in tourism. In summer times there is very nice weather in (Paris, min 13В°C, max 23 В°C)( souffle.asso.fr,2011) France. This might be a reason for France to receive many tourists. I think some physical environments especially Eiffel Tower is the big attraction for tourist. I think most of the people who are visiting to France are Europeans. They can use the same currency (EURO) in France as well and as I mentioned above it's not expensive to travel to France, It could be a reason why France is in 3rd rank in generated income table.

Tourism is a major economic and social significant that has been recognized in both developed and developing countries. Tourism is the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal places of work and residence. The activities undertaken during their stay in these destinations by facilities are meant to cater the needs of the consumer. The act of traveling for pleasure is a luxury. Until recently only a restricted few had the time and money to travel. Increasing leisure, higher incomes and greatly enhanced mobility have combined to enable more people to partake in travel. The concept of wide–scale travel away from home is a relatively new phenomenon. In the past few people enjoyed free time, and any was usually ...show more content...

It is necessary to know what people consider a need so that we can discover how these can be fulfilled. These can include: physiological needs (ex. hunger, thirst, sleep...), safety needs (ex. freedom from threat of danger), love/social needs (ex. feeling of belonging, affection, friendship...), esteem needs (ex. self–respect, achievement, self confidence, reputation...), and self –actualization needs (ex. self–fulfillment and realizing one's potential). People are motivated to travel t leave behind the personal or interpersonal problems of their environment and to obtain personal or interpersonal rewards. The personal rewards are mainly sense of competence, challenge, learning, exploration and relaxation. The interpersonal rewards surface from social interaction. There has probably never been a more exciting time for the study of tourism geography than the present. Both as an industry and as a social phenomenon, tourism is renowned for the speed and scale of change. But at the dawn of the twenty–first century, the challenges of change seem more daunting than ever. These are especially evident in terms of globalization, the new consumer, and the democratic challenge. Globalization represents the intensification of the linkages between places, which increasingly shape the global as well as being shaped by it. Above all it signifies the deepening of competition in the tourism industry, as both the reach of transnational

Tourism: Good or Bad?

Why do we become tourists? What is this incredible force which drives us to leave the safe shelter of our homes to travel to places sometimes thousands of miles from our native lands? Is tourism good or bad? Well, in order to answer that, we need to know what the benefits and detriments of tourism are. Tourism is known to be the world's largest industry, where a lot of money is made . It is a very crucial area. Many countries around the world spend a lot of money, billions and billions of dollars in tourism in order to ensure that it continues. Nowadays more and more people are becoming aware of the decrease in the expenses of travelling and hence tourism is booming. Although many may see this as a positive phenomenon, it is not a trend without drawbacks. Tourism is an interesting subject matter as it is an industry that has been travelling with the wild pace of technological advancements. It is a revenue generating industry. Undoubtedly, there are some advantages of tourism in the global world of today. However, tourism is a problematic issue which has disadvantages that should not be overlooked.

A good tourism industry will improve the country's reputation not only among

Tourism The French define tourism as "the art to satisfy the most diverse aspirations which invite man to move out of his daily universe." The Webster's dictionary defines tourism as "the guiding or managing of tourists; the promotion or encouragement of touring: the accommodation of tourists." Both definitions are apt for tourism. The private sector of tourism includes lodging, food, transportation, recreation facilities, attractions, travel agents, and tour operators. These in turn are supported by a variety of specialized services, such as research promotion and printing.

Most visitors to Miami Beach come from the eastern half of the country; similar resorts on the West Coast compete successfully for the western market. Much of a visitor's decision is based on his expectations of the city and whether or not it is likely to fulfill them. But how are those expectations formed? Urban Attractions: Most tourists' attractions are inherent to the city; they exist because of demands and support from local people, combined with the willingness of governmental and other organizations to subsidize certain amenities when necessary. The diversity and quantity of attractions relate closely to the makeup and size of resident population, the city's historic past, and its national and international standing. Most attractions are not geared specifically to the visitor, with some obvious exceptions. For example, the St. Louis Arch was built expressly as a unique tourist attraction, and at the same time it serves as a symbol of the city's historic past and present role as a gateway to the West. Atlanta is one of the most successful cases of a nontourist city developing facilities to attract visitors. Concerned about the future of their city, Atlanta's decided about 15 years ago to take advantage of their location at the center of the fast developing southeastern region of the country. Through extensive redevelopment and aggressive promotion, they launched Atlanta as a business, communications and entertainment heart of the area, until now it Get more content
