The importance of tourism.

Tourism is becoming an increasingly important connection to the world, it is the

business that provides services to people from another region or country. It is very
important as most people are willing to spend a lot of money on it, when on
vacation they may pay more than normal however sometimes people go to on
holiday because the costs in that country are cheaper. Tourism needs a reason for
people to travel to other countries, so as long as there is food,accommodation,
sights ect, more money will be earnt which is making tourism bigger each year,
nevertheless if there are money problems in there country e.g credit crunch, the
money earnt by tourism will most likely drop. Employment in tourism leads to the
multi-plier effect, this is when the money is circulated into the economy. This is of
prime importance in areas where there his little industry - e.g Scottish Highlands
or Cornwall. Some countries are over reliant on tourism e.g the Caribbean.
