the destination, tourism and hospitality acts as an export industry by bringing in revenues from the
outside sources.Tourist expenditures also increase the level of economic activity in the host area

hospitality on the destination area , it is important o know the direct and secondary effects of visitors

producing the products or direct services bought by tourists.
• TOURISM MULTIPLIER- The term “Multiplier” is used to describe the total effect, both direct and

A Food Safety Program (SFP) must follow the following HACCP principles :
1.Analyze potential hazard that may occur in the food service operations
2.Distinguish the proper approach to control hazards.
3.Establish daily record in monitoring measurements and observations for each stage of control.
4.Provide methods and techniques for corrective action when a hazard is found beyond the control

and control food hazards. It critically analyzes the possible problem that could occur at the any stage in
the food service flow and create a plan of action to prevent,minimize and reduce the hazards to a safe
level.

monitoring techniques at critical control points. In early 1980s,the HACCP approach was adopted and
has accepted as a food safety quality assurance worldwide.
7 PRINCIPLES OF HACCP

LESSON 2 : SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
Sustainability - is a societal goal that broadly aims for humans to safely co-exist on planet Earth over a
long time. Specific definitions of sustainability are difficult to agree on and therefore vary in the
literature and over time. (Wikipedia)
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
“ the development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission, 1987)
“the harmonious integration of a sound and viable economy, responsible governance, social cohesion
and ecological integrity, to ensure that development is a life- sustaining process”. (The Phil. Agenda 21,
1996)
GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
As one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world, tourism is well-positioned to
foster economic growth and development at all levels and provide income through job creation.
Sustainable tourism development, and its impact at community level, can be linked with national
poverty reduction goals, those related to promoting entrepreneurship and small businesses, and
empowering less favored groups, particularly youth and women.
Geotourism
Geotourism is defined as tourism that sustains or enhances the distinctive geographical character of a
place—its environment, heritage, aesthetics, culture, and the well-being of its residents.(National
Geographic and the Travel Industry Association of America (now USTA)
Geotourism is tourism associated with geological attractions and destinations. Geotourism deals with
the abiotic natural and built environments. Geotourism was first defined in England by Thomas Alfred
Hose in 1995.
