Task 1 Assignment 2.1 Evidence for P1
Scenario
Some of my group went on a trip to a different country and missed a unit which covers the travel and tourism business environment. I will be giving them a short description for the following aspects of the business environment.

Public sector
Private sector
Geographical sector

Public sector
Public sectors are run by the government. The government also runs places like ATOL. Their main aim is not to make a profit; instead they exist to provide a wider service to the community by informing, educating and directing the customer. E.G:

Importance to UK and international economy
This is an importance as it can help in many ways like more businesses who will work around the places of other workers. This will also help in the employment around the area and help the local community find jobs. Another thing is tourism which will help the government as they will spend their money on items therefore pay towards the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). This will all lead to a better
