    Critical review

    There are many diverse natures of tourism, and each one has a different target audience. The following critical review, critiques the similarities and differences of three academic journal articles from “ The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Management” (2010). The selected articles discuss education through tourism, factors that motivate towards it, and the career opportunities within tourism for future generations. The article’ ‘Location, Location, Location’ — The Relative Importance of Country, Institution and Program’ (Ruhanen & McLennan, 2010) presents the idea of the how location of an institute may contribute positively towards tourism education. The article ‘Tourism and Hospitality Students’ Perceptions of a Career in the Industry’ (Richardson. S, 2010) explores the differences between Australian domestic and international students studying tourism in Australia and the likelihood of them joining the industry upon graduation. The article ‘Generation Y’s Career Expectations and Aspirations’ (Maxwell & Ogden, 2010) states that generation Y’s early experiences in the industry act to discourage them from pursuing careers in the tourism hospitality sector. All three articles are to be discussed followed by cross-relations through the articles.…

    Tourism

    If we consider Figure 1, then initial tourism expenditure has a direct effect in the form of income to businesses for goods and services bought by tourists, wages to households in connection with tourism related employment and income to the government through tourism related taxation and fees. When tourists spend their income on imported goods (often food and drink but possibly also furnishings in hotels, salaries for overseas workers, etc), that expenditure is lost to the system (leakages via imports). Governments, households and most notably business, must then make purchases in order to provide tourism related goods and services. This is most apparent in the case of businesses that must purchase a range of different inputs to create the goods and services purchased by tourists. The initial tourism expenditure or visitor consumption can be classified into two sub-categories (i.e., visitor actual final consumption and tourism business…
