EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The goal of this project was to discuss the determinants of price elasticity of supply and demand in the tourism industry, how the demand for tourism products reacts with the rice in price and how suppliers of tourism products react also to rise or decline in price for this products.
Through the aims and objectives of the project, I was able to find out that tourists tend to react on the long run than on the short run when it comes to an increase in price because on the short run there would not be anything they can do to avoid the costs of rise in price so in the short run tourists are inelastic but on the long run they are elastic since now they would have found means of avoiding the costs they get in due to rise in price.
Suppliers also tends to be more
