[Music] tourism it's one of the biggest industries in the world bringing in money bringing people jobs bringing people enjoyment and tourism comes in different shapes and sizes in different forms so today in this video i'm going to teach you about the three major types of tourism inbound tourism outbound tourism and international tourism if you are new to this channel my name is dr haley saint and i teach all things travel and tourism if you are studying the travel and tourism industry one of the first things that you will learn is about the three major types
of tourism inbound outbound and international now this is actually incredibly simple but it's also super important that industry stakeholders and students understand it so i'm going to explain it to you right now inbound tourism is quite simply the act of tourists coming in to a country there are many countries around the world that rely on inbound tourism in other words they rely on people traveling to their country to come to visit and to be tourists now for many countries this tourism might be seasonal so for example spain is much busier in the summer season when
the weather is nicer than it is in the winter season thailand is not as busy during their summer season because that's the rainy season and many tourists aren't really keen on getting wet this means that many inbound tourism destinations will have seasons so they'll have peak seasons the busy season low seasons the quiet season and shoulder seasons which is the the bit either side where it's starting to get busy or it's quietening down inbound tourism is really really important to some destinations because they rely on it tourism brings in money tourism creates jobs if there's
no tourism as we've seen in the kovid pandemic these people who rely on the tourism industry hugely suffer in ordinary times many people will actually work during the peak season and not during the quiet season for example many of the islands in greece will have bars and restaurants and it will be buzzing during the summer but during the winter those bars and restaurants are all closed up so the people who work there need to make enough money during the summer to support them through that quiet season too the tourists who come to visit bring with
them something really important money and some tourists are worth more money than others their currencies are stronger and they spend more money quiz question for you which nationality spends the most money per person when they travel well the answer is often america but also one that will surprise you china china is a huge emerging market that is growing people have more money more time people have more freedom than they used to so people are looking to travel out to go further afield to explore the world and that is why many destinations are targeting people who
come from certain countries to be their inbound tourists and these tourists that they are targeting are known as outbound tourists outbound tourism is a really important type of tourism too and outbound tourism quite simply means when tourists go out of their country so for example in the united kingdom we have a big outbound tourism industry one of the major reasons for that is because our weather isn't always great so lots of people want to flock to warmer climates and we travel out of our country to another country so we are known as outbound tourists that
is known as outbound tourism now outbound tourism can be really profitable for the country that tourists are actually leaving what how does that work okay let me explain so you will have lots of travel companies so for example in china there's a huge outbound tourism market or there was pre-code and there are many tour companies who are based in china who are organized trips for people to leave so those companies will take part of the profit from the holiday and part of the profit will go to the host country the host destination so outbound tourism
can be very profitable outbound tourism has grown considerably in recent years and it just keeps on growing with a pause for the covet pandemic tourism is predicted to continue to grow and grow and this is especially the case for outbound tourism when people go out of their country now one of the major reasons for this is because we now have more more accessibility options there are more types of transport that we can use more trains more planes more cars more options technology has helped with that too you can now fly direct from the uk all
the way to australia that's pretty awesome so with the development of new technologies with lots of the prices been pushed down in recent years the introduction of low-cost carriers for example this has meant we can travel more and we can go out of our home country more often and if we are traveling out of our country to another country we are also known as international tourists so international tourism means tourism that is international it takes place across different countries now a lot of tourism is international but it's not always some is domestic which is when
we stay within our country international tourism is big business just as is the case with outbound tourism it has largely been driven forward and facilitated through advancements in technology through increases in disposable income amongst tourists and through an increased desire for people to go further afield to explore to travel to some destinations international tourism is absolutely vital to their survival they rely on people coming into their country they rely on the foreign exchange income the foreign currency for other destinations tourism's uh an add-on and extra they've got their own industries their own way of making
money and tourism is something extra so if we look at somewhere like the caribbean or the maldives those are islands that are hugely dependent upon tourism and international tourism at that they don't have a big domestic tourist market they rely on people coming out of their home countries in to their islands and international tourism can have some great wide-reaching impacts tourism can be vitally important for lots of destinations and if it is managed sustainably the economic impacts can be great it can help to enhance the economy it can help give people jobs it can help
people to have enough money to send their children to school to feed their children it can make a huge huge difference governments can raise money through taxes they can then reinvest that money into the local infrastructure and and life in that area which can have an overall positive impact so those are the three major types of tourism that you will often hear when you start off learning about the travel and tourism industry but in reality there are so many different types of tourism it's such an exciting industry and if you're interested to learn more make
