ANSWER-1 (OPTION-1)
WHAT IS AN INDUSTRY :-
Well (1989) defines an industry as“ a number of firms that produce similar goods and services and
therefore are in competition with one another”.
For instance, the steel industry is defined by the steel products they produce.
Many businesses and other types of tourism organizations offer complementary rather than competing
products and services. An airline, hotel, restaurant, travel agency, and attraction do not compete with
each other. They complement each other and combine to offer visitors a satisfying vacation or business
trip.
The input and output can not be clearly identified.
Besides there is no single industry code for tourism under the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS)
Macroeconomists point out that the recognition of tourism as an industry can lead to double counting
because standard industry classifications fully account for all elements of the economy without finding it
necessary or appropriate to recognize tourism.
TOURISM INDUSTRY :-
Unlike other industries that are defined by the products and services they produce (the supply side), the
tourism industry is defined from a demand side perspective.
A tourism industry supplies products and services to tourists.
The Tourism Industry is defined as individuals, businesses & organizations that are working to provide
product & services (including information) to tourists.
They include those that work in transportation, lodging, entertainment and food & beverage.

15. LIST AND BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE SOCIO CULTURAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TOURISM DEVELOPMENT.
All tourism activities are related to one or more of the following dimensions of tourism.
ATTRACTIONS: Are the primary motivation for traveling. They may be a primary destination such as Disney World
or secondary destination which are interesting places to visit on the way to your primary destination. Most tourist
traveling from the east to go to Las Vegas will stopover at the Grand Canyon national Park on the way. Attractions
usually focus on natural resources, culture, ethnicity or entertainment.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Natural resources are the combination of physical features (Yosemite National Park,
California), the climate (Vail, Colorado), and the natural beauty of the area (Acadia National Park, Maine). The
challenge to managing natural resources based tourism is to preserve the natural resource from the impact of the
tourist's.
CULTURE: A way of life which is observed through a peoples religion, history, government and traditions.
ENTERTAINMENT: Tourism developments of all sizes from Disney World, Universal Studios, Las Vegas to local
community Special Events and Festivals such as the Bloomsday Road Race in Spokane, Washington.
X-TREME TOURISM: Tourism based on high adventure activities (See Whirlwind Tourism)
