D2 Evaluate the potential impacts of two factors on the future of UK inbound and domestic tourism

The number of trips taken by Britons overseas has declined by 12.6 million, from 69.4 million to 56.8 million between 2007 and 2011, according to the research by Travelodge. This means that 5.9 million holidays and trips have come out of the market altogether when the number of domestic holidays and trips are factored in. This is shy of the government’s stated ambition for domestic trips to replace the number of missing overseas trips, the report says. However, the analysis shows that ‘staycation’ breaks were up by 5.6% as the recession proved that holidays are an essential rather than a luxury. UK city breaks account for 23% of domestic tourism but seaside towns are in decline by 5%. Total tourism revenue was up 12.6% to £40 billion between 2007-2011 against the general economy up 8%. Employment numbers in tourism have bucked the wider trend, thanks to strong growth in 2011 when 120,000 new jobs were created. The UK’s appeal as a tourist destination endured during the double dip, with overall visitor numbers up by 3.1% to 157.4 million, the report shows. Staycations form the backbone of the tourism economy, with domestic trips and holidays increasing by 5.6% to 126.6 million.

In this document I am going to be looking at factors that affect both inbound and domestic tourism deciding to travel to the UK or travel within the UK. Some examples of factors that I will be reviewing include the following; health, safety and security, accessibility, marketing campaigns, availability of products and services, quality of good and services, economic recession in the UK/and or tourist generating countries, exchange rate, travel restrictions, emerging of new markets, competition from other destinations and finally weather.

Globalization has an Immense impact on health because of the spread of people, food, and manufactured goods. In today's era, we travel more than before and so does our food. This travel can lead to the spread of disease by people coming more in contact with each other from different parts of the world. Mosquitos could accidentally board a plane or food caring disease could be shipped to another country. Not only in today's era has this happened but since ancient times we have been susceptible to diseases from travel. Smallpox and the bubonic plague killed many of the world's population. These diseases were mostly caused by the travel on ships or the diseases in rats and lack of medical knowledge from the people. The first step to reducing global disease is surveillance. With surveillance, we can better monitor new spreads of disease around the world. Immunizations are very helpful because they can help prevent the body from receiving any harmful diseases. Research is necessary because we can

When the UK economy is doing well, its pound sterling is strong. However, having a strong pound actually discourage visitors from overseas because when they exchange their money in pound they will be getting less money, so it make visiting UK expensive and it deter inbound visitor from visiting UK.

The term “superbug” has been a headline in today’s conversations. America is known to be the number one country that’s is overly medicated, and one day our bodies would become resistant to the very same medications that would someday be needed to save your life. Scary as it sounds it is true. Superbugs or CRE (Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) is very serious among hospitals, colleges, foods, nursing homes, or one in twenty-five acute care facilities across the globe known to have contracted CRE in the past year. In a headline on CNBC the CDC mentions that over “forty-seven million unnecessary prescribed antibiotic prescriptions are given every year in the United States.” Meanwhile, as a faster way of promoting healthier livestock farmers

The topic of the essay will look into the increase in popularity and rejuvenation of the seaside town of Blackpool in the north-west of England. Various factors played a role in the growth in popularity for visiting Blackpool. The popularity of Blackpool will be compared to the gradual decline of the destination. The destination will then be analysed to see if the area is contributing enough facilities for the rejuvenation of Blackpool. Butler 's Tourism Area Lifecycle will be used to determine if the area of Blackpool has successfully rejuvenated the area to attract tourists.

a) Economic conditions within the international markets including expenditure on overseas tourism generally and any trends in this;

Also, DCMS built on Our Promise for 2012, in which the fifth promise was to demonstrate the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live in, visit and for business. To achieve this promise, DCMS stated the plan that make the most of the long-term tourism benefits that the Games will bring nationwide (Our promise for 2012, 2015). As the nature of international tourism is exported service and goods, which has a significant proportion of economic outcome in tourism industry, this paper is aimed to analyse the impact of 2012 London Olympic Games on the inbound tourism in London and the UK. The impacts of the 2012 London Olympic Games on inbound tourism can cover a wide range of aspects, including service improvement, infrastructure improvement, star-hotel increase, tourist flows and so on; nevertheless, this paper will only focus on two aspects: overseas visitor arrivals and spending and destination image improvement.

Though importing and exporting goods and the movement of peoples from one place to another are significant contributors to the spread of disease on a global level, I do not believe any measures should be taken to limit these movements unless there is clear evidence of a potential pandemic. Attempting to curb disease by limiting such movements would cause too much social and economic distress and any benefits gained would only be marginal as reducing the spread of disease does little to nothing in regards to curing or eradicating the disease (when allowed to continue to spread within an existing population). In the world’s current state, limiting exports means destroying business which also means damaging local economies. It is evident that

Tourism plays a vital role in economic development in most countries around the world. The industry has not only direct economic impact, but also significant indirect and influential impacts. There is agreement among experts that the travel and tourism sector is the fastest growing of global economy. According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourism receipts surpass US$ 1 trillion in 2011, growing about 3.8%up from 2010 (WTO, 2012).

Britain has been over the news due to the British exit the European Union, which this event is known as Brexit (Hunt, 2016). This decision brought a large impact on every country in Britain, but the Britain has not started negotiate with European Union about adapting regulations to minimize their negative consequences. Before people can list potential impacts of Brexit on Britain’s tourism, it is important for people to understand how well the Britain was doing in the tourism industry. In addition, it is important to analyze and understand what type of tourism impacts on Britain. So, people would know how Brexit will change its policy and what impacts will bring to their current life. It will provide an idea of how the changes of regulations will impact different countries and the region. Thus, it provides an understanding of how tourism helps to develop the Britain in terms of environmental impacts, socio-cultural impacts, and economic impacts.

I am writing a report explaining the importance of UK visitor attractions to tourism. In my report I will be including statistics and data to support my explanation.

Your presentation must also consider what motivates UK customers to visit the selected destinations, and you should also, therefore, describe different aspects of visitor motivation such as relaxation, conducting business, educational, culture and history. Influence from the media (e.g. film locations, travel programmes etc) shopping or any other motivational factors that you may consider appropriate.

The current research paper covers the main effects of global tourism, both positive and negative. International tourism is a significant sector of business. For some countries it is one of the main sources of national income. The most important positive economic effects of tourism are as follows: increase in budget revenues, production expansion, stimulation of investments, and improvement in the population’s welfare. Tourism influences social and cultural lives of people in a positive way by stimulating the development and revival of local cultures and encouraging intercultural exchange.
