...Negative Impact Of Tourism On ( Language ) , ( Religion ) And ( Customs And Tradition ) | | | | <Name> | | <Date> | | Introduction Tourism is unarguably one of the most dynamic and developing sectors earning a myriad of countries across the globe millions of dollars in different forms. A number of countries have benefited from infrastructural development, currency inflows, educational and management skills associated with tourism. Citizens from these countries have as well gained from various employment opportunities resulting from economic development of the regions visited by tourists. Some of the highly developed Western nations such as Switzerland, Italy, and Austria have attributed most of its economic and social welfare development to tourism. (Smith, 2006) Currently, it is approximated that tourism contributes to 10% of global income with at least 10% of the world workforce earning their daily bread from the sector. Viewed as ‘manna from heaven’ most analysts perceive tourisms as a way of balancing foreign trade and as a source of foreign exchange with minimal discussion on the negative challenges it’s associated with. The discussion in this paper will mainly focus on the negative challenges of tourism with deep analysis on language, religion, customs and tradition, drawing examples from various countries known as tourist destinations across the globe. P.62 Discussion One of the strongest signs of negative impacts to tourism is on language spoken...

...Sunday, 08th of June 2014 Tourism and Environment in Cambodia After I joined this event, I felt that I can learn a lot of things from this event. At first, they start singing the our traditional song for remind people to know about their nation and then there is a khmer traditional dance to show all students or worker in Pannasatra University. And then they had speech about the development of tourism because Cambodia is Kingdom of Wonder, so everyone want to know and especially want to see our ancestor temple which is located in Siem Reap Province. Our teachers in PUC talked about the amount of students get into year 2 with 50 students. In addition, we want tourism involve with the government and we want all students in tourism major will be good at English and Khmer because English is for communicate with foreigner and Khmer is mother tongue, so we can’t forget our nation. Furthermore, there is about the environment to protect from destroying the environment in Cambodia because everyone need to use plastic bag to hold thing or keep things inside it. Hence, environment plastic bag is much better than plastic bag because it use from the banana left for keeping the thing and it won’t affect to our environment like a plastic bag. As a result this event want to show the 2015 about the ASEAN because it will be more people to get to know about one country, they will need guide and place to stay.

...Assignment #2: Tofino Community Paper The community that will be addressed throughout this report is Tofino, British Columbia. The general interest in this community arose from various trips there. During the most recent visit I began simply admiring the Tofino resident’s way of life. Simply put, Tofino is a one of a kind community from my point of view. INTRODUCTION Tofino is a relatively small community compared to other settlements on Vancouver Island. The population in 2006 was 1,655, according to Statistics Canada. Also Tofino’s population density is 157.1 people/km2. This statistic may seem high relative to the community’s total permanent population, but Tofino’s land area is only 10.54km2. Progressing, Tofino’s major economic bases have changed significantly over time. During the 60s and 70s Tofino’s main industries were commercial fishing and industrial logging, but with various policy changes Tofino’s main industry has changed. Currently their main economic activity is tourism. More specifically, ecotourism, this includes such activities as wildlife watching, beach exploration, ocean fishing, hiking and walking, floatplane tours, surfing, and sea kayaking (Niwand, 2008). Furthermore, Tofino’s settlement structure resembles that of a common developing region shore-based community. There are many small docks lining the settlement’s limits. Also because Tofino is spatially small, the central business district encompasses the various roads directly attached to the...

...Tourism is of major economic and social significance. More than 720 million tourists spend $480 billion annually in places outside their own country (WTO, 2004). This is one of the largest items in the world’s foreign trade. The significance of tourism has been recognized in both developing and developed countries. This can be seen in the establishment of sophisticated and well resourced government departments of tourism , widespread encouragement and sponsorship of tourism developments, and the proliferation of small business and multinational corporations contributing to and deriving benefits from the tourism industry. In 2005, the tourism sector accounted for 3 % to 10% of the GDP of developing countries. The contribution of tourism to economic growth and development is reflected in the form of exports since it represents 40 percent of all xports of services, making it one of the largest categories of international trade (UNWTO, 2006). There is widespread optimism that tourism might be a powerful and beneficial agent of both economic and social change, some even advocating that it might be a force for world peace. Indeed, tourism has stimulated employment, investment and entrepreneurial activity, modified land use and economic structure, and made a positive contribution to the balance of payments in many countries throughout the world. At the same time, the growth of tourism has prompted perceptive observes to raise many questions concerning the social and environmental desirability...

...Introduction The learners and teachers of English and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) textbooks are three major inter-related elements in the process of present day education. Hutchinson, 1994 cited in (Evaluating an EFL textbook - A new English Course) states that, “The textbook is an almost universal element of ELT teaching”. Therefore, a textbook can be mentioned as a useful instrument which serves as a guide or an instructional manual for studying a particular subject. Against the common belief that students are the key in this direction, many scholars hold the view that textbooks are the heart of education with regard to the fact that both teachers and students are to a large extent dependent on the books (Sarem, S. N., Hamidi, H., Mahmoudie, R., 2013).Therefore, it is clear that a textbook facilitates the teaching and learning process and thus, is helpful both for the teacher and the students. Textbooks are compiled and developed because they are the most convenient means of providing the structure that the teaching-learning system requires. Textbooks are a good solution to overcome the weaknesses in teaching materials. Ansary and Babaii (2002) cited in (An Evaluation of English Language Textbook 'Say it in English' for first year intermediate Grade in South Arabia, 2012) state that, “Although the textbook is not the only tool for the teaching and learning process, it is still of a significant impact for achieving the language learning objectives...

...To what extent has Indigenous tourism either empowered or exploited Indigenous communities in Australia or internationally. In your discussion refer to at least two case studies of Indigenous tourism. Both past and present, Indigenous culture is becoming increasingly recognised as a significant aspect of the Australian tourism product and experience (Johnston 2006). Therefore, in order to manage the long-term sustainability of Indigenous tourism and involvement of host communities in the tourism industry, the socio-cultural impacts of tourism on Indigenous communities need to be addressed and monitored (Hodgson, Firth & Presbury 2005). Research conducted by various authors have identified positive impacts commonly associated with Indigenous tourism on host communities including conservation of traditional customs and cultural heritage (Tomaselli 2012), sense of community pride, cross-cultural understanding, maintaining community stability and the broadening of horizons (Hodgson, Firth & Presbury 2005). As a result, host communities may recognise the significance and economic value of their cultural heritage. Thus, tourism may come to play a vital role in promoting cross-cultural exchange, education and preservation of Indigenous communities. Conversely, much of the literature regarding this topic suggests that the negative sociocultural impacts outweigh the benefits seen as a result of Indigenous tourism which include disruption to daily life and traditional lifestyles...
