Tourism is defined as travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes to places outside one's usual environment for less than a year. It creates jobs and economic opportunities as tourists spend money on local food, hotels and specialties. However, tourism also brings some disadvantages like environmental destruction if natural places are replaced by hotels or pollution increases. It can also threaten local culture if traditions are appropriated by foreign tourists or lead to seasonal employment without job security outside of peak tourism times.

1. T o u r is m
Tourism is a recreational, leisure or business purposes. the world tourism organization
defines tourist as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment
for more than twenty-four hour and not more than one consecutive year for leisure.
Because it brings in a lot of people who are willing to pay for things naturally found in that
country, like fudge, and lava rocks. They pay for food, hotels, and other specialties at
slightly higher prices than the natives would pay, as they are on vacation, and have
money to burn, mostly. They then leave, and more come in, it creates jobs, and as long as
there are a reason for people to come, then they will .

2. What converts an area into a
tourist attraction
• Beautiful scenery
• Clean city
• Kind people

3. Scenery
• The scenery is very important for
attraction of tourism because it something
that you can´t lose to visit!

4. Clean City
• If the city isn’t clean the people won’t visit
this city because the people like clean
cities.

5. Kind people
• The kind people are very important for
attraction of tourism, because they can tell
you what to do and where to go.

6. Exciting activites
• The Exciting activities are another way to
attract tourism. Some of this are: Surfing,
Canoeing and Climbing. In winter, you can
ski, snowboard, etc;

7. Areas to relax
• The areas to relax are too another way of
attracting tourism. Some of the places are,
Beaches, Swimming pools, hotels,
resources, etc;

8. Places to visit
• You can go wherever you want,
but you must visit places with
TOURISM. When there is
tourism, the place you want to
visit has population, so you must
choose places with tourism. I
recomend to go to: Salta,
Mendoza, Buenos Aires, etc;

9. What advantages does this tourism
bring?
• Employment
• Infrastucture development
• Cultural preservation
• Enviromental protection
• Foreign exchange
• Development of health services

10. Employment
• This advantage is very important because
the people who work in cities with tourism
earn a lot of money. There are so much
people that they work a lot.

11. Infrastructure development
• This is important too because it is
essential to tourists and to people who live
there too. Infrastructure development
consists in having clean roads, clean
water, electricity, telecom and cybercom.

12. Cultural preservation
• This is good for tourists atraction because
carnavals, fashion, festivals, physical
history, etc. are very funny for people and
there are some places that have better
cultural preservation and others less.

13. Environmental protection
• In this way, there are some tourists that
have more impact on this than others. This
is to help our planet. If the water, the
roads, etc, are clean, more people will
come to this city. This consists in incentive
to preserve nature, wildlife and urban
cleanliness.

14. Foreign exchange
When someone of other country comes with
another type of money.

15. Development of health services
• This is important to tourists too because
they need a hospital or a farmacy if they
have an accident or if they get ill.

16. But…

17. What disadvantages does this
tourism bring?
• cultural destruction
• primary products
• environmental destruction
• marginal employment
• low benefits
• development of illegal and/or destructive
economic activities
• ETC.

18. Environmental destruction
• This happens when you replace a natural
place for a human made. For Example:
When you put a Hotel in a forest. You may
chop down the trees to do a hotel.

19. Pollution
• This happens when tourists make a place
dirty and destroys the environment. It can
happen in a lot of ways, like using cars,
factor, throw rubbish to the floor, etc.

20. Cultural destruction
This advantage, is too an disadvantage because if
a german comes here to dance tango, they are
dancing our culture, it is like they steal our
tradition. We want to see us dancing Tango, not
people of other countries.

21. Seasonal employment
no job security, no organizing
• Having a Job in a tourist
place is an advantage
but when it is not the
season of tourism, they
don’t have work or less
than in Season of
Tourism. For example, in
Bariloche, only snows in
Winter, and in the rest of
the year, there is no job.

22. Marginal employment
• Its the work of people in other countries
that works in (for example) the beach and
they sell ice-cream or other things.

23. Development of illegal and/or
destructive economic activities
• The tourists don’t come to a place
sometimes because of this. There are
people who sell illegal drugs, the species
are endangered and there is paid sex.
This cause destruction of economic
activities.

24. Outside decision making
• When you are not benefit with a man or
men who has more power and they don’t
care about you.
• Decisions made outside of the area,
corporate dollars.
• Controlled by the elite.
