Htm*2170 tourism policy, planning & development midterm marion joppe. Week 1: chapter 1, 2, 11 (e&s), 3 (m) Structural, economic, political, environmental, social and conceptual obstacles. Smaller countries with fewer natural resources but large supply of cultural resources rely more on tourism. Tourism receiving low priority need to coordinate approach b/w public and private sector, esp. infrastructure, etc. It can be argued that every citizen has a direct influence on the tourism on the area in which they live. Small stakeholder a farmer, seemingly unrelated to tourism, could pollute the local water source and cause health problems to the local population as well as tourists in the area. Economic: benefits: bring in revenue, stimulate economic cycle, costs: potential for leakage. Social: benefits: cross-cultural education, costs: cultural loss due to influx of foreign influence. Environmental: benefits: long-term changes to increase sustainability for future use by tourists, costs: if not managed properly, potential for pollution and overall environmental degradation.
