1. UNIT 8:
The Impacts of
Tourism and
Hospitality

2. TOPIC 1
The positive and
negative impacts of
tourism and
hospitality

3. • Tourism creates jobs, both through direct
employment within the tourism industry and
indirectly in sectors such as retail and
transportation. When these people spend their
wages on goods and services, it leads to what is
known as the “multiplier effect,” creating more
jobs. The tourism industry also provides
opportunities for small-scale business enterprises,
which is especially important in rural communities,
and generates extra tax revenues, such as airport
and hotel taxes, which can be used for schools,
housing and hospitals.

4. • Successful tourism relies on establishing a basic
infrastructure, such as roads, visitor centers and
hotels. The cost of this usually falls on the
government, so it has to come out of tax
revenues. Jobs created by tourism are often
seasonal and poorly paid, yet tourism can push
up local property prices and the cost of goods
and services. Money generated by tourism does
not always benefit the local community, as some
of it leaks out to huge international companies,
such as hotel chains. Destinations dependent on
tourism can be adversely affected by events such
as terrorism, natural disasters and economic
recession.

5. POSITIVE IMPACTS
• Job created.
• More money for the country.
• Local traditions and customs are kept alive because
tourists enjoy traditional show.
• Money from tourists can be used to protect the
natural landscape.
• New facilities for the tourists also benefits locals.
• Greater demands for local foods.

6. NEGATIVE IMPACTS
• Jobs are often seasonal and poorly paid.
• Most money goes out of the area to big
companies, not locals.
• Culture and traditions change as outsiders
arrive.
• Damage to the natural environmental, litters,
habitats destroyed to build hotels
• Overcrowding and traffic jams.
• Prices increase in local shops as tourists are
often more wealthy than the local population.

7. TOPIC 2:
The positive and
negative social
impacts of Tourism
and Hospital

8. Positive social impacts in tourism include learning
about different cultures, increasing tolerance and
inclusion through LGBTQ+ travel, increasing
amenities (e.g., parks, recreation facilities),
investment in arts and culture, celebration of
Indigenous peoples, and community.
The improvements to infrastructure and new
leisure amenities that result from tourism also
benefit the local community. Tourism
encourages the preservation of traditional
customs, handicrafts and festivals that might
otherwise have been allowed to wane, and it
creates civic pride.

9. Interchanges between hosts and guest create a
better cultural understanding and can also help
raise global awareness of issues such as poverty
and human rights abuses.
 Visitor behavior can have a detrimental effects
on the quality of life of the host community. For
examples, crowding and congestion, drugs and
alcohol problems, prostitution and increased
crimes levels can occur. Tourism can even
infringe on human rights, with local being
displaced from their land to make way for new
hotels or barred from beaches. Interaction with
tourists can also lead to an erosion of traditional
cultures & values.

10. POSITIVE IMPACTS
• Increase in cross-cultural understanding
• Counters poverty
• Maintenance/celebration of local host culture
• Improved transportation facilities and other
infrastructure for tourism that residents can also
utilize
• Overcoming ideological and religious barriers.
• Develop renewed local pride un their culture
• Greater participation in sports, arts and other activities
related to the event

11. NEGATIVE IMPACTS
• Damage & commodification of host’s culture
• Invasion private/sacred space
• Can contribute to increased crime, begging, gambling
etc.
• Result in displacement
• Unequal relationship between hosts and guests
• Inequitable distribution of profits.
• Culture clashes
• Ethical issues (such as an increase in sex tourism or the
exploitation of child workers)

12. TOPIC 3:
Impacts of Tourism
and Hospitality on
culture

13. The tourism business is extremely important to
world economies. Tourism is now the world’s
greatest employer and source of foreign cash,
which is especially important for developing
countries seeking to attract people from all over
the world to enjoy their cultural and natural
wonders. However, tourism is significant not only
because of the huge economic benefits it
provides, but also because of the opportunity for
cultural interaction it provides. Tourism brings
individuals from all backgrounds, cultures, and
customs together.

14. Tourists share their impressions and memories of
places they’ve visited and people they’ve met,
which contributes to the promotion of peace and
tolerance. As a result, tourism has risen to the
top of the economic sectors as a driver for peace,
prosperity, as economic growth. According to the
World Travel & Tourism Council research,
countries with a more open and sustainable
tourism sector are more peaceful.

15. POSITIVE IMPACTS
• Preservation and restoration of cultural heritage
• Revival of traditional arts and crafts
• Cultivation of cultural pride and sense of identity
• Cross-cultural exchange
NEGATIVE IMPACTS
• Loss of cultural character
• Loss of authenticity and meaning of traditional
arts and crafts
• Commercialization of human relationship
• Potential misunderstanding and conflicts between
residents and tourist.

16. TOPIC 4:
Environmental
impacts of Tourism
and Hospitality

17. Tourism — particularly nature and ecotourism — helps
promote conservation of wildlife and natural resources
such as rain forests, as these are now regarded as
tourism assets. It also helps generate funding for
maintaining animal preserves and marine parks
through entrance charges and guide fees. By creating
alternative sources of employment, tourism reduces
problems such as over-fishing and deforestation in
developing nations.
Tourism has the ability to have a positive impact on
the environment by helping to protect and conserve
the ecosystem. It is a means of raising environmental
awareness and can be used to fund the protection of
natural areas while also increasing their economic
value.

18.  Tourism has significant negative environmental
consequences. The depletion of local natural
resources, as well as pollution and waste issues,
are among them. Overconsumption of natural
resources is common in tourism, especially in
places where resources are already scarce.
For hotels, swimming pools, golf courses, and
personal usage of water by tourists, the tourism
industry frequently overuses water resources.
This can lead to water shortages and the
deterioration of water resources, as well as the
generation of more waste water.

19. Tourism places a huge strain on local land use,
including soil erosion, pollution, habitat loss, and
increasing pressure on endangered species.
These consequences have the potential to
deplete the environmental resources that tourism
relies on.
POSITIVE IMPACTS
• Protection of selected natural environment or
prevention of further ecological decline
• Preservation of historic buildings and monuments
• Improvement of the area’s appearance (visual
and aesthetic)

20. NEGATIVE IMPACTS
• Pollution
• Loss of natural landscape and agricultural lands
to tourism development
• Loss of open space
