Summary
Tourism industry is recognized as the second biggest outside trade source in Morocco, after the phosphate business.

Discussion
Introduction
The tourism area picked up vitality in the Moroccan economy. It created incomes of about USD (United State Dollar) 7.3 billion in 2010 which are expanding at a rate of 10%. More than that, tourism constitutes20% of the Moroccan GDP (William, 2010).
Still, the country has a considerable measure to do keeping in mind the end goal to completely utilize its tourism potential.

Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
The Hospitality and Tourism sector is characterized as the fastest growing sector in Jamaica. Many tourists from all over the world travel each year because of the country’s beaches, culture, climate and landscape. Despite the contribution of other sectors the Hospitality and Tourism is still the giant industry that contributes largely to Jamaica market share. In this paper, we will call the Hotel that I am employed ‘Hotel A’ for privacy reasons. Hotel A was formed in 1981and has developed to be one of the largest all-inclusive resorts in the country, tackling all factors that impact on its overall success. Some of these factors are political, economic, social, technological environmental and legal factors called the PESTEL framework. “A
Half of century has gone since ‘tourism boom’ began in 1960s (Tirados, 2011). Nowadays, desire to be a tourist is virtually universe which has made tourism become a central element of globalization. The profit brought from tourism is something that we cannot deny however everything has its two sides which are good and bad, advantages and disadvantages or positive and negative. Thailand is a great example to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the development of tourism impact on the country.
In general, the determinant of demand is derived from the consumer behaviour theory, where it can be differentiated between economic factors and non-economic factors. The economic factors consist of the price and income that are commonly employed in the tourism demand studies. Theoretically, if the price of educational tourism in the destination country increases, the possibility for the demand for educational tourism to the destination country will decrease. Moreover, the price-quantity demanded relationship also provides information with regards to the sensitivities of educational tourists towards the living standard in the destination country. Nevertheless, the selection of variables as the proxy of price is quite displeasure and not generally
In this essay the author will focus on socio-cultural impacts of the tourism development in Spain. Tourism industry is a highly profitable business (Wharton University, 2011); in some countries beach and sun are the primary attractions to their guests and making it as the tourism product may be one of the principal sector that contributes to the economy to that country. Whereas promoting a specific place as tourism product may bring some issues to the residents of tourist destinations. And this piece of work will discuss some impacts that Spain as a host country is facing with the development of tourism. World Travel and Tourism Council (2000) published a table that illustrated the contribution of tourism to national employment in some countries, in Spain travel and tourism contributed 8.3% of total, such numbers are to be considered as it shows a relevant impact on local employment. The aim of this essay is to investigate and discuss the positive and negative impacts of tourism.
The positive economic impact of tourism in Morocco is huge. According to glObserver, a market research company, Morocco will have an estimated 14 million visitors bringing in $8.8 billion in annual revenues by the end of 2016 (Morocco Tourism Profile 2012). It does not seem like the inflow of money will slow down anytime soon. Foreign investments have been pouring into Morocco’s tourism sector and international hotel chains are building large resorts across the country. Development is occurring along the coast of Morocco in particular. This will draw real estate investors looking to gain exposure to the tourism and property markets. While it is positive that investment money is flowing into the country, much of the profits being made are escaping Morocco because foreign hotels are sending the earnings home to their country of origin. Due to the recent increase in tourism, foreign airlines are increasing the number of routes into the country. In addition to the real estate investments, there are other factors contributing to the influx of money entering Morocco. Morocco has a high level of literacy in addition to strong government support for the hospitality industry; these factors should contribute to the tourism industry growing for years to come in Morocco (Morocco Tourism Profile 2012). As well as the tourism industry is doing in Morocco, not everything is working well. Moroccan flag carrier Royal Air is in dire financial straits. The airline loses money on a monthly basis due to the high cost of fuel and labor. Several low cost carriers have stepped in to compete with Royal Air and expand the tourism industry despite Royal Air’s economic troubles.
Egypt is one of the most beautiful countries. It is the oldest tourist destination on earth. Nowadays, tourism is one of the most important industries and it is the leader in providing new jobs to decrease the unemployment rate. It involves a range of organizations, businesses and government agencies working together complementary to each other. After January 25th, the rates of tourism has decreased in Egypt due to many reasons. It has been proven that tourist’s number has fallen from 14 million in 2010 to 10.2 million in 2013. According to (Tourism in Egypt: A slow recovery- CNN.com) “The world Economic Forum has just declared Egypt one of the most dangerous places on earth for tourists. The report puts Egypt above Yemen and Pakistan in terms of risks for visitors”. Moreover, there are many causes which result in decreasing rates of tourism such as political instability, presence of terrorism and absence of security. This decrease has effect the economic crisis negatively and also the employees who are involved in this field have almost stopped working because the number of tourists has been decreased in a horrible way.
Tourism is often associated with traveling to places away from home. Tourism has a big impact on the economic growth of some countries, which define the shape of their cities by producing different sectors like historic districts, convention centers, museums, malls, hotels, restaurants, and the list can be endless. Furthermore, tourism elements have been developed by cities for a variety of reasons including: situating themselves in the world by drawing a positive image and attracting visitors and for their money.
Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives.
