  1. Tourism • Learning Objectives Why has global tourism grown? What are the physical & human attractions of different destinations?

  2. GROWTH IN TOURISM Tourism is the world’s largest industry, worth $500 billion in 2007. International tourism (people arriving in all countries from abroad for a holiday) is increasing. In most countries, domestic tourism (people going on holiday in their own country) is about 4x greater than international tourism. The tourism industry is one of the greatest providers of jobs and income in countries at all stages of development. For 83% of countries, tourism is one of the top 5 sources of foreign exchange. The top 6 tourist destination countries are France, Spain, the USA, China, Italy and the UK. Germans spend more per person than any other nation on holiday. 2mins • Read the passage and copy down one significant piece of information (15 words max.) • Swap with your partner to get one additional piece of information from them

Cities such as London, Rome and Paris have a huge amount to offer tourists of every age. The natural landscape is also a major ‘pull’ for tourists, particularly mountains such as the Alps or beautiful stretches of coastline. Physical or natural attractions are natural attractions such as beaches, climate, sea, mountains and rivers etc. Human or man made attractions are built or constructed by humans such as castles (heritage), churches (cultural), theme parks etc.
