United States Travel and Tourism Industry by Danielle P. Moore,Allison G. Doherty Pdf
The U.S. travel and tourism sector, the main economic and employment engine in a number of states, suffered a steep decline in 2008 and 2009 as the nation sank into recession. Though the United States remained the world's top travel destination by dollar value, spending by foreign visitors in the country plunged 15% in 2009. Travel and tourism, which account for 6% of U.S. employment, began to rebound in 2010, but there have been concerns about a possible decline in business along the Gulf Coast due to the April 2010 BP oil spill. This new book examines the U.S. travel and tourism industry today and the challenges and issues for the future

National Tourism Policy by United States. Congress. House. Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Subcommittee on Transportation and Commerce Pdf
"Travel is no longer a past-time but a colossal industry, arguably one of the biggest in the world and second only to oil in importance for many poor countries. One out of 12 people in the world are employed by the tourism industry which contributes $6.5 trillion to the world's economy. To investigate the size and effect of this new industry, Elizabeth Becker traveled the globe. She speaks to the Minister of Tourism of Zambia who thinks licensing foreigners to kill wild animals is a good way to make money and then to a Zambian travel guide who takes her to see the rare endangered sable antelope. She travels to Venice where community groups are fighting to stop the tourism industry from pushing them out of their homes, to France where officials have made tourism their number one industry to save their cultural heritage; and on cruises speaking to waiters who earn $60 a month--then on to Miami to interview their CEO. Becker's sharp depiction reveals travel as a product; nations as stewards. Seeing the tourism industry from the inside out, the world offers a dizzying range of travel options but very few quiet getaways"--
Worldwide Opportunities in Travel and Tourism by Adam Starchild Pdf
During the last quarter of the 20th century, the travel and tourism industry has developed into one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economy. More people than ever travel for business and pleasure to destinations around the world. In the U.S., travel and tourism account for close to 7% of the GNP, making it the second largest sector of the country?s economy. In 1999, U.S. travel agencies sold close to $50 billion worth of tickets and billions more in travel-related services. As impressive as these numbers are, they are only a part of the travel services sold throughout the world. Travel and tourism have clearly become big business. There are many reasons for this. Competition among international and regional airlines has made air travel accessible and affordable for people everywhere. Many countries-particularly those of the former Communist bloc-that once discouraged visitors have opened their borders and now welcome tourists and the money they bring. The population of the U.S., as well as Asia and Japan, is graying. Many of these individuals are at the peak of their earning years, their children are grown or nearly grown, and they enjoy much discretionary income. While they may not consider themselves wealthy, they can afford to travel, which they do regularly. Moreover, there is a significant and growing "retired" population in many Western countries that enjoys traveling. These factors virtually ensure continued growth for the travel and tourism industry, both in the U.S. and throughout the world. The travel and tourism industry is broad and diversified. In its narrowest definition, it includes those enterprises directly related to travel-airlines, cruise lines, travel agents, hotels, car rental companies, and tours. At its broadest, it includes any business that concentrates the bulk of its operation on travel- or tourist-related activities. These might include restaurants, night clubs, gift shops, amusement and theme parks, campgrounds, marketing firms that specialize in travel and tourism, and special activities such as horseback riding, white-water rafting, and skiing. Of course, these are just some examples, and creative entrepreneurs can undoubtedly find countless niche businesses that can provide special products or services to travelers and vacationers. Entrepreneurs will undoubtedly find numerous opportunities in the industry. Indeed, it is not so difficult finding an opportunity, but rather choosing the best one, an enterprise that is personally satisfying and which has a superior chance for success and profitability. While many large businesses account for millions of travel and tourism dollars, the industry has plenty of room for small operations. It has, in fact, been estimated that up to 99% of the U.S. businesses whose major activity is travel and tourism are considered to be small by federal standards. Herein lies the great opportunities for entrepreneurs. Many businesses whose services and products that target tourists and travelers can be started for minimal investments. This is especially true in many countries whose governments encourage investment in an effort to stimulate local economies and expand the travel and tourism industry within their borders. Many nations foster economic development and investment through a variety of incentives, including reduced tax rates, tax holidays, or special grants to underwrite the cost of facilities or train local workers. Such incentives can greatly enhance an operation?s overall profitability. Because much of the United States is saturated with businesses that serve the needs of travelers, the greatest opportunities for entrepreneurs in the travel and tourism sector are found in other lands. While travel and tourism companies abound in places like the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands, there are numerous other sites where the opportunities are boundless. As the global economy expands, many of these places are on the verge of becoming major tourist and travel sites, but they have not achieved that status yet. There is plenty of opportunity for enterprising individuals to start and build companies. The key is to identify these sites and establish a business before the competition arrives. This, obviously, can be difficult when considering foreign sites located around the world. It is essential that you personally visit any place in which you are considering investing. Selecting possible investment sites from brochures, videos provided by embassies, or tips from friends or colleagues is one of the surest ways to secure failure and nothing else. So how does one manage to visit potential sites that may be found in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, or South America without incurring burdensome travel costs? You might, for example, plan your vacation to the Nevis, the Azores, or Seychelles and use some of your time there to scout potential tourism investments. In this way you are combining pleasure and business and may even be able to deduct some of the expenses from your taxes. This is not the most efficient method, though. By far the best is to use your enthusiasm for entrepreneurship and establish a home-based travel agency. Once you establish a travel agency you will gain numerous advantages. Along with being able to deduct business expenses which can reduce your tax burden, you will be able to take advantage of familiarization tours offered by travel-service providers. Such tours, usually offered at deep discounts, will give you the opportunity to visit various places around the world, where you can evaluate potential investments. Not only will you have the chance to see the area and mingle with its people, you will be able to assess the business climate and potential for investment. You can benefit from establishing a travel agency even if you limit the scope of your agency. Most home-based travel agents work with host agencies, larger agencies which provide tickets and in many cases manage the bookings for lodging. The home-based travel agent?s primary task is to provide clients for the host agency. Nonetheless, the home-based agent enjoys all of the advantages of being a travel agent. For the entrepreneur who seeks to build a travel/tourism business, establishing a travel agency is the first step to worldwide investment. The usual cautions, of course, apply. Although opportunities in travel and tourism may be found the world over, creating a successful business requires good business sense, an understanding of how to properly build a company, and hard work. For those entrepreneurs capable of satisfying these demands, the returns are truly great. Few enterprises are as challenging, exciting, and rewarding as creating a business in an area in which the potential for growth is exceptional and one?s success is entirely dependent upon his or her knowledge and business skills. The travel and tourism sector offers such opportunity in locations around the world. Over the past several years, travel and tourism have constituted one of the fastest growing sectors in the world economy. For much of the past three decades, annual growth has averaged 10% or more, with several countries averaging significantly more. This trend is expected to continue, fueled by increasing numbers of people who travel for pleasure and business.
The purpose of a Tourism Satellite Account is to analyse in detail all the aspects of demand for goods and services associated with the activity of visitors; to observe the operational interface with the supply of such goods and services within the economy; and to describe how this supply interacts with other economic activities. The present volume provides an updated framework for constructing a Tourism Satellite Account. It should permit greater internal consistency of tourism statistics with the rest of the statistical system of a country, as well as increased international comparability of these data.
