About the Book

Tourism has become the biggest industry in the world. If offers jobs for 200 million people and contributes 11.7 per cent to global Gross National Product. Almost 700 million tourist arrivals are expected for this year, and this number is estimated to grow to 1.5. billion by the year 2020.
Most countries in the world, with very few exceptions, compete with each other to get as large a share as possible of the huge cake which is up for distribution. Attracting tourists, especially from beyond the own borders, means foreign exchange earnings and jobs and income for the local people. But the list of possible drawbacks, especialy for developing countries is along the environment and natural beauty may be harmed by infrastructure and hotel buildings; the instruction of large numbers of foreigners with little knowledge and respect for the local culture and tradition may cause social tensions; there may be an upsurge of prostitution and sex-related diseases; and the local economy may be disrupted because labor is siphoned off from farming to the tourism sector, and the high purchasing power of tourists may promote inflation.
