Globalization is the process of
integrating an economy with the world economy. Countries around the world
adopted the practice of Globalization to enhance their economy, exchange
culture, increase growth prospects and increase flow of Foreign Travelers. In
the past few decades, Globalization has significantly changed World Tourism.
People are now travelling all around the world for Business, Research, Pleasure
and opportunities. According to a recent study, Air Travel has tripled in the
last 20 years, and is expected to double in the next 10 years. With Millions of
people in the Air every day, Travel Industry is worth Billions of Dollars.
Adding to that is the Rail, Road and Sea Travel, which further enhances the
experience of travelers. In this Blog, we will discuss some of the Major
Effects of Globalisation on World Tourism. Let’s get started:
1. Cultural Curiosity: There was a
time when travelers knew about a few places to visit. They used to visit only
famous places like London, Paris, New York, Singapore, Sydney,etc. As a result of Globalisation, people have
become more curious to discover other places. Countries like Mexico, Cuba,
Ireland, Czech Republic, Japan, etc are now becoming famous among travellers
and tourists. People are now interested in exploring other parts of the Globe
as well.
2. New Places: Many small cities
and towns are opening their doors for tourists. Hundreds of small tourist spots have been developed around the
world. These are places which had hidden treasures begging to be explored. Some
of them have been capitalized, while many of them still waiting. Governments
around the world are slowly and steadily working on them.
3. Aviation Growth: Today thousands
of Flights Take-Off around the world every day. Globalization has opened up new
Airports at new destinations, and increased Point-to-Point Flights. Premium
Carriers and Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) have emerged all over the world. This has
increased the production of small and big jets by Airbus and Boeing. Today if
you visit www.FlightRadar24.com ,
you will be mesmerized by the number of planes in the Air at a time.
4. Tourism Economy: The path of
Globalisation has led to emergence of many Tourism Economies. These are Nations
which earn a large part of their income from Tourism. Tourism is the backbone
of these Countries. Some Examples of Tourism Economy may be Mauritius, Turkey,
Switzerland, Maldives, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Fiji and Seychelles.
5. Wide Range of Destinations: Globalisation opened up new Destinations for
travellers. Thus, offering them a Wide Range of Destinations to choose from.
Today you can choose according to your interests, preferences and budget.
6. Job Creation: Globalization has
created millions of jobs in tourism. When a new place opens for tourism, jobs
are created in its Hotels, Airports, Monuments, Shops and Restaurants. This has
not only helped people to get out of Poverty, but also given a chance to Travel
Enthusiasts to work closely in this Industry.
7. Global Village: The world has
now become a Global Village with people from different cultures engage with
each other. This has enabled local people to connect with their tourist
friends. People are now warmer in welcoming travellers from other cultures and
traditions. This sort of engagement leads to better tourism relations between
countries.
These were the Main Effects of
Globalization on the Tourism Industry. It has changed the way we Travel, and
created new opportunities for our Development. If you have more to add, feel
