TOPIC 3

Topic 3 - The significance of muslim traveller in International and domestic room.

  -Muslim travellers travel for the same reasons as any other tourist - to explore the different destinations and experience their unique culture.
  - Understanding the unique needs of muslim travellers can benefit destination, accommodation providers, travel agents, restaurants, airlines, government associations and any travel- related entity.
   
         One of the most signifinance elements of islamic tourism is Halal food, access to which is a concern of Muslim traveller.
* The accommodation sector is a provider of food and other services essential to the tourist experience .Greater attention is now being given to the nation of halal hotels, characteristed by prayer facilities, halal food, a ban an alcohol and gender segregation for certain amenities.
* The term ''syariah - compliant'' is sometimes applied and is accurate for properties in conservative  Muslim Countries such as Saudi Arabia, which are already bound by syariah law, whereas Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is less restrictive.
* Muslim travelling for purpose of bussiness must also be taken into account. Hoteliers therefore should be familiar with muslim needs and adress concerns about food and prayers as far as possible.

TOPIC 2

a) the tourism economy represents 5% of world GDP, while it contributes to about 8% of total employment. international tourism ranks fouth in global exports, with an industry value of US$1 trillion a year, accounting for 30% of the world's exports of commercial services. with growing developing country participant, tourism has become a major contributer to their growth. in over 150 countries, tourism is one of five top export earners, and in 60 it is the number one export. tourist arrivals have shown continuous yearly growth over the last six decades.

b) tourist choices are increasingly influenced sustainability considerations. choice experiments conducted in Uganda conclude that biodiversity attributes increase the willingness to visit tourism attraction, independently for other factors. traditional mass tourism, like sun-and-sand resorts, has reached a steady growth stage. in contrast,ecotourism, nature, heritage, culture and soft adventure tourism, as well as sub-sectors such as rural and community tourism are taking the lead in tourism markets and predicted to grow most rapidly over the next two decades. United States of America travellers would "pay more" touse travel companies that strive to protect and preserve the environment.

c) tourism's ability to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, provide foreign exchange, improve infrastructure and promote environmental. interest inlocal development and comunity-based tourism by governments has often been motivated by broad economic, social and environmental goals.

QUIZ 2 & TOPIC 1🙅

Hi guys, im back after mid-sem holiday. So, today we had class like usually. Early in the class, miss already bebel because of one student😑 Thennn, we have a quiz 2 on chapter 2. It so easy like nut but I'm so blur to answer the quiz😂 haihhh

After quiz, miss give us topic presentations to present on her next class and also everyone got their topic to update in their each blog account. Have 9 topics and each person got 3 topics to update in their blog. So, my group and I (pah and balqis) also my partner in blog, we got topic 6. The topic is about "Identify tourism products and packages suitable for tourism traveller". And me got topic 1, 6 and 8.

Topic 1 is about, Demonstrate understanding towards tourism in green economy;
1. Explain the concept of tourism in a green economy.
2. Discuss chaleenges for tourism in a green economy
a) Energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
b) Water consumption
c) Waste management
d) Loss of biodiversity
e) Effective management of cultural heritage

So, I'll explain the topic about what.


1) Tourism  is  a  significant  contributor  of  greenhouse  gas  (GHG)  emissions  at  the  global  scale.  The growth  of  energy  consumption  in  travel,  transport,  accommodation  and  tourism  related  activities and the dependency on fossil fuels, increase vulnerability and uncertainty for future business growth and  translate  into  important  implications  for  GHG  emissions  and  climate  change.  Currently,  tourism  contributes an estimated 5% of CO2 emissions but, according to some scientists, the overall contribution of tourism to global warming – considering the radiative forcing of all greenhouse gases – is in the order of  5.2–12.5%  (the  range  in  this  estimate  is  primarily  attributed  to  uncertainties  regarding  the  role  of  aviation induced cirrus clouds in trapping heat)

2) UNEP  (2003)  estimates  that  in  the  United  States  of  America,  tourism  and  recreation  consumes  946 million  m3 of  water  per  year,  of  which  60%  is  linked  to  accommodation  (mostly  spent  on  guest consumption, landscape and property management and laundry activities), and another 13% to food service.  Total  yearly  water  consumption  by  tourism  in  Europe  is  estimated  at  843  million  m3. Each  tourist consumes 300 l of freshwater per day on average, whereas luxury tourists can consume up to 880 l. By comparison, average per capita residential consumption in Europe is estimated at 241 l per day. Global  direct  water  consumption  in  international  tourism  (accommodations  only)  is  estimated  to  be  1.3 km3 per year (Gössling 2005). Available data suggest that direct water use in tourism varies between  100 to 2,000 l per guest night, with a tendency for larger, resort-style hotels to use significantly more water  than  smaller,  pension-like  establishments  or  campsites.  The  main  water-consuming  factors  are golf courses, irrigated gardens, swimming pools, spas, wellness facilities and guest rooms.

a) Waste  management  is  another  increasing  and  well  recognized  challenge  in  the  industry.  Every  international tourist in Europe generates at least 1 kg of solid waste per day, and up to 2 kg/person/day  for the United States (UNEP 2003).  By comparison, CalRecovery and UNEP (2005) report total country waste  generation,  including  industrial  and  other  sources,  for  Austria  (1.18  kg/person/day),  Mexico  (0.68 kg/person/day),  India (0.4 kg/person/day) and United States (2.3 kg/person/day).  Based on various  sources, UNEP (2003) estimates that in 2001 the world’s 692.5 million international tourists are likely to have generated no less than 4.8 million t of solid waste, 58% of this total in Europe alone; in Germany, domestic tourism accounts for around 7.5 times the volume of inbound international tourism, while in Brazil the ratio is estimated at 10; if a conservative ratio of 6 is assumed globally, the global figure for solid waste generated by domestic and international tourism should be close to 35 million t per year.

b) There are many examples where large-scale tourism has had detrimental effects on biodiversity, including coral reefs, coastal wetlands, rainforests, arid and semi-arid ecosystems, mountainous areas (UNWTO 2010d). Coral ecosystems have suffered strong negative impacts from the use of coral for construction materials  for  hotels,  over-fishing  of  reefs  to  feed  tourists,  sewage  dumping  and  sedimentation  from  improperly managed runoff from buildings, parking lots, and golf courses. They may also be damaged  at  heavily  used  scuba  diving  sites.  Coastal  wetlands,  particularly  mangroves,  have  routinely  been  damaged or destroyed to build beach resorts. In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, golf courses and other  water-intensive activities have lowered water tables affecting local fauna and flora. Biodiversity  will  be  greatly  affected  by  the  way  in  which  tourism  grows  and  develops,  especially in developing countries (UNEP 2010). Failure to incorporate biodiversity concerns in destination planning  and investment will have detrimental effects on the natural environment, increase conflict with local communities,  and  lead  to  reduced  value  creation  potential  for  both  the  destination  and  investors.  UNWTO and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have developed the CBD Guidelines on Biodiversity  and  Tourism  Development  and  other  tools  to  advance  sustainable  tourism  development  with sustainable use of biodiversity.


c) Interest in unique cultures by tourists can result in negative impacts and severe disruptions for communities.  There  are  examples  of  communities  overrun  by  large  numbers  of  visitors,  commercialization  of  traditions, and threats to cultural survival from unplanned and unmanaged tourism. Tourism destinations  are  occasionally  built  by  outsiders  (usually  with  government  approval)  in  areas  that  indigenous  or traditional  communities  consider  to  be  theirs,  and  where  the  development  was  neither  desired  nor locally validated. These situations lead to conflicts that make cooperation and mutual benefits nearly impossible to achieve, and instil animosities that negatively affect the local communities and the tourism destination. Frequently, the cultural issues overlap and are aggravated by environmental issues such as access to water, coastal resources, and wildlife. Over the last two decades, with the growth in ecotourism  and alternative travel, tourism impacts on vulnerable cultures has begun to be taken seriously by the tourism industry, governments, non-governmental organizations, and the cultural groups involved.


Management of cultural heritage also includes built heritage which provides sense of place and cultural reference  points.  Most  built  heritage  attractions  were  not  originally  intended  for  tourist  use  must  be managed to protect them from over-use, misuse and wear and tear from visitor footfall. More broadly, heritage buildings can be at risk from climate change. Aside from physical threats (e.g. flood damage, subsidence) climate change will impact on social and cultural aspects, with communities changing the way they live, work, worship and socialize in buildings, sites and landscapes, possibly migrating and abandoning their built heritage (UNESCO 2007). 

The following are seen as ways to address some of these issues:
  • Locat initiave and involvement
  • Building capacity 
  • Public and private sector investment
  • Partnership
  • Develop climate change mitigation and adaption plans 
 THATS ALL FROM. TQ BYEEE
