This is on BBC, Bitesiz noted following factors which has been contributing in the growth of world tourism:
"Tourist destinations develop because they are attractive to people:
- Cities - contain shops, restaurants, bars, theatres, museums, famous buildings and nightlife. Top tourist destinations include London, Rome and Las Vegas.
- Coasts - beaches for sunbathing, the sea for water sports and an attractive environment for outdoor activities such as walking. Famous coastal resorts include Blackpool, Benidorm and Bondi beach in Australia.
- Mountains - spectacular views, rock climbing, walking, white water rafting in fast-flowing mountain rivers and skiing. Famous destinations include the Pennines, the Alps and the Himalayas.
- Climate - the Mediterranean climate has hot, dry summers, perfect for a beach holiday, whilst snow in the Alps provides ideal conditions for skiing.
- Resorts - such as Centre Parcs and Disneyland have attracted millions of visitors in recent years.
- Enclave tourism - all activities are planned within the same area, providing tourists with varied entertainment and excursions, without having to travel farther afield."
- I don't disagree with the above mention points because this is fact that tourism is the world's largest and fastest growing industry contributing heavily to the economies of the tourists decision to choose a destination.
- Those destination, where very important factors attracting tourists to choose such destination, but unnecessary cultural and religious restriction, history of an absence of freedom/rule of law and narrow minded society turn many tourists away.
